Katrina Kaif Inspired Smokey Grey Look

Hello all you beautiful people!  As promised, here is the Katrina Kaif inspired look. This look is great for the evening because of the smokey dark tones.  Remember: when doing dark statement eyes, remember to keep your lips light - a light pink lip goes great, as does a nude sheer colour.  So enough talking...let's get started!

Prep: Start off with a clean moisturized face.  I'm currently using CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer and am really liking it.  Once your moisturizer has absorbed into your skin, apply a small amount of full coverage foundation.  I'm using MakeUpForever HD Foundation.  Katrina has flawless skin so we want to make sure our base is nice and clean.  Next, cover any under eye circles with a concealer lighter than your skin colour.  Katrina is very highlighted in this photo and using a lighter concealer will give us that same glow. Finally, add a highlight powder or cream to your cheekbones and let's move onto the eyes.


Step 1: Prep your eyelids by applying an eye shadow primer. Here I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

Step 2: Using a grey eye liner, create a V-shape at your outer corner and fill in the entire lid with the eye liner. (Tip: Warm up a liner on the back of your hand to ensure a creamy application and to make sure your eyelid isn't being tugged on when you're applying it)

Step 3: Draw a thin line on your lower lash line with the same pencil. Connect the bottom line with the upper line.

Step 4: Taking a dark grey shadow and a stiff blending blush (I used a Sephora dark grey shadow and an Elf blending brush), go over the entire eyelid to set the liner.


Step 5: Using what's left on the brush, blend any harsh lines by using a light hand and a windshield wiper motion going back and forth. This will soften any harsh edges.

Step 6: Take that same dark grey shadow and a smaller brush (I used an Elf concealer brush) and blend the lower lash line just like you did to the top.

Step 7: Next, apply a highlight to the brow bone - I used Virgin from the Urban Decay Naked palette - with a fluffy brush and blend to combine the grey and the light shimmer.

Step 8: Finally, apply some false lashes, and mascara to the top and bottom lashes and voila! Is that you, Katrina?
