Lets Talk Taupe

Matte, grunge-y smoked eyes have been somewhat of a 'go to' recently, and taupe's been a shade that has helped to achieve the seemingly effortless look. I can only really describe taupe as being a grey toned brown? ... brown toned grey? Either way, Drugstores have been releasing a host of variations, and I am hooked. 

Eyes Of The Day #3 : Smoked Taupe

A fairly simple look with the ever brilliant Naked Palette. It isn't necessarily for a special occasion but I fancied something a little more on the smokier side today. Using Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'On and on Bronze' as a base, I lightly washed 'Sidecar' over the top to create a more taupe-y lid. I then blended out any potential harsh lines on the upper lid using 'Naked' and deepened the crease/outer V using a mix of 'Smog' and 'Dark Horse'. I finally topped it off with lashings of mascara and my trusty lashes from Eylure in '020'.

Hope you all have a lovely friday!
