How To Create The Perfect Bridal Smokey Eye…
1. Start with a clean eye with nothing on the lid area, no eye cream, foundation, etc as this can make the makeup crease. For the first step, I like to prep the eye with a primer such as MAC Prep and Prime Eyewhich is great for neutralising any discolourations on the lid but also creates the perfect base for your makeup.
2. Next, highlight subtly on the brow bone with MAC Eyeshadow in Shroom applied with the soft 224 Brush for a light wash of colour.
3. Use the MAC 217 Brush to blend a dark base colour on lower lid of eye; I really like MAC Paint Pot in Blackground {a gorgeous luminous black shade}. I would blend this colour to the crease with the same brush and then take the same colour along the bottom lash line using a pencil brush, like MAC 219 Brush.
4. To add dimension and colour to the look, try adding MAC Pigment in Chocolate Brown on top of the colour on the lid with a flat fluff brush, such a MAC 213 Brush, this gorgeous warm brown shade looks great on almost anyone and is really wearable.
On the outer corners you can blend some dark brown or black shades to make the look smokier with the same 213 Brush. Be careful with placement of brush, blending the colour into the socket/crease.
Next use the pencil brush to add some colour to the bottom lash line, I like to layer the deeper shades and add a touch of the pigment to add texture to the look.
5. Finally I would rim the eyes with a black pencil, I like MAC Smolder Eye Kohl as it glides on easily and is also great for blending with shadows for smokier looks.
6. Finish off the look with an amazing set of false eyelashes. I am a big fan of Shu Uemura’s Partial Soft Cross Lashes which are in segments that can be added where desired to create volume and length.
The finishing touches
To complement this popular bridal look, opt for gorgeous, flawless skin created with the use of airbrush makeup and either a soft nude or bold lip for a sexy look that lasts the whole day.

Good to know. Not necessarily for bridal makeup, I think it’s just looks nice. Who doesn’t like instructions for makeup...
