Smokey Eye Makeup Tutorial with Rimming Technique (Beauty Blog Post)



Need a new technique for smokey eyes? Try rimming.

There are many smokey eye makeup tutorials. My favorite, however, has to be the "rimming technique." It's easy to do, and provides a nice, subtle, smokey eye result.

Using:

REVLON Diamond Lust Eye Shadow in "105 Plum Galaxy"


Revlon Diamond Lust eye shadow is a new line of eye shadows by Revlon.

These eye shadows have tiny speckles of glitter. I especially liked this plum color.


Step 1

Dip sponge in Revlon Diamond Lust Eye Shadow to obtain a generous amount.

Apply eye shadow to your lid. Stop at crease.

**Note: if you are Asian, stop at your fold.

Using a sponge actually helps with the "rimming technique."


Step 2

Use sponge and apply shadow to your bottom lash line.


Application to the bottom "rims" your eyes - rim, get it?

Application to top and bottom provides a nice rimmed effect.


Step 3

Rim top and bottom lash line with a dark eye liner.

Stay as close to your lash line as possible. 


Using an eye liner emphasizes the shape of your eyes.



Step 4

 Use a blending brush and add high lighter to your brow bone.


I am using CoverGirl eye shadow in "pink chiffon."

A blending brush works well for your brow bone.


Step 5

Curl lashes and apply mascara.





Done!


Smokey but subtle.

Add blush and gloss, and you are done.
 

Hope you enjoyed this makeup tutorial.
