How perfect are these new palettes from essence?
Everything you need for perfect smokey eyes in just one, tiny palette. It’s available in two shades: Smokey Day (neutral browns) and Smokey Night (greys). Best part is they’ll only set you back R53.95 each.
Here’s how to create the look with either palette in 6 easy steps:
1 Cover the whole lids, up to the crease with the palest shade – this will act as a base for the rest of the shadow to adhere to.
2 Line the top lash line with the darkest shade, and blend well into the lashes.
3 Layer the medium shade over the pale shade to create more dimension.
4 Use the palest shade to highlight under the brow bones and in the inner corners of the eyes.
5 Line the lower lash line with the medium shade and add more dark shadow to the top lash line, if you feel you need it.
6 Finish with two coats of volumising mascara.
