Reader Request Week: How To: Pink Smokey Eye for Prom

All week I'm sharing posts that YOU, my wonderful readers, have requested.

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you got an early peep!

Today is a requested affordable pink smokey eye for a reader's daughter's prom.

Also, from Shea who wanted a beauty look.

Enjoy!

T O O L S:

• Eyelid Primer (I used ELF, $1)
• Wet N Wild palette in I'm Getting Sunburned ($2.99, drugstores, online)
• WOW Mascara from Rimmel ($3, drugstores, online)
• Flat, pencil, fluffy, smudge brushes (Mine are from ELF and Coastal Scents, $2-3)
• Optional: 
• Wet N Wild palette in Walking on Eggshells (to use as highlight/under brow)
• Lash curler (mine's from Shu Uemera, but there are plenty of excellent cheap ones)
• False lashes

M E T H O D:

• DISCLAIMER: I'm only able to take pics for the blog at night, so my pictures never show the true color, no matter what I do. The pink doesn't show up as pretty as it is, not does the smokey eye. ARGH! Help? Tips?
• To keep color on lids all night at prom, use an eye lid primer.
• Pat the shiny pinky/purply shade from the I'm Getting Sunburned palette all over lid with a flat brush.
• Using a pencil brush, dip in the brown glittery shade, and make a sideways V in the outer corner.
• Blend the brown using a fluffy brush.
• Dip the smudge brush into the brown and smudge under lower lashes. Use what's remaining on the brush on the upper lid. Blend the upper lid smudge with a fluffy brush.
• Curl lashes and apply as many coats of mascara as desired.

T I P S:

• No brushes? Pat the pink shadow on with your finger. Use the pointy edge of these cotton swabs to apply the brown shade in a V-shape. Blend with cotton swabs or finger.
• Use the lightest shade in the Wet N Wild palette Walking on Eggshells to highlight inner corners and under brow. Take the darkest brown shade to blend between the sparkly dark brown and the pink, if needed.
• No eye lash curler (you seriously need one!)? Run a spoon under hot water and use it to curl your lashes.
