The key to pulling a smokey eye off in just a few minutes is using primarily shimmery shades. It's so much easier to blend dark shimmery shades than dark matte shades. I used the Lorac Pocket Pro Palette ($15 at Ulta) (the Wet N Wild trio in Silent Treatment would give you similar results). Tip of the Day: If you're curious about the Lorac eyeshadows but don't want to shell out for a full palette yet, go to Ulta and buy this! It'll be in the bins by the check out line. I promise, you won't regret it. (Once you fall in love with these creamy pigmented shades, go ahead and do yourself a favor and buy the Lorac Mega Pro Palette. OB-SESSED.)
First, take Pewter and blend it through your crease.
Then, take Nude and pack it on your lid, making sure to blend it with your crease color.
Next, take Espresso and place that in your outer corner and also about halfway into your crease. Make sure all three colors are nicely blended together.
Last, highlight your inner corner with Nude, and run Espresso across your lower lash line.
And voila! You're ready for a night on the town, and it only took a moment of your time.
I LOVE this, Court! It's so pretty but subtle.
