Some tongue twisting alliteration in the title there for you!
As a fair skinned girly, I really struggle to get smoky eyes without it looking stark and out of place on me. This morning I had a day off work and thought I could have a bit of a play around with my make up instead of the old slap-it-on-and-go approach. As black is almost always too harsh on my freckled face I opted for the grey/brown colour of Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Permanent Taupe (I use this as a brow colour most days as it cancels out the warm tones! I realise in the first photo my brows look kind of orangey but I promise this was just the camera flash! The below photo in natural light is definitely more accurate and true to colour!!)
Using an angled brush I applied it as a liner on both lower and upper lash lines. Then using a fluffy brush (I used a fab blending brush from the Claire's accessories bamboo brush kit - love it) and blended it out to create an ashy toned subtle smokey eye. Completed with a single coat of mascara and voila, subtle, sultry and sexy. I didn't go too overboard with it as this is a daytime look for me - but it would definitely work amped up a bit more, with a few lashings of mascara for a sexy night time look.
