One Pan of Eyeshadow, A Trio of Looks! A Smokey Plum Eye Makeup Tutorial Trifecta

March 3rd, 2014 by Karen 22 Comments

Are you ready for three ways to work a smokey (or smoky, depending on your preference) plum eye?

Here are THREE different ways to rock the new Clarins Smoky Plum Ombre Minérale Mono Eye Shadow ($21)…or any other eyeshadow you like.

(Click here to watch the video on YouTube.)

Clarins Smoky Plum Ombre Minérale Mono Eye Shadow
Clarins Smoky Plum Ombre Minérale Mono Eye Shadow ($21)

The first look is the most casual one, good for daytime. The second is slightly turned up, like for grabbing drinks after work, and the third is a full-on smokey look with lashes, drama and the whole nine yards.

Definitely one for a big night out…or perhaps just to run errands around town, if you’re a diva like that. 😀

I’m using a shimmery purplish taupe shadow in the video, but you could definitely swap that out for another purple or taupe from your collection.

OOH! I think something like MAC Satin Taupe or Shale would look really pretty.

Or, you could skip the purple entirely and go with something like a shimmery bronze, brown, green, gold or blue. Seriously — whatever your heart desires at this moment! The most important thing is that you like it. Whatever it is, you’ll do great. 🙂

Lashes, BAM! (Yup, this is the third look…)

  • MAC Eye Kohl in Smolder ($16)
  • MAC 239 Eye Shader Brush ($25)
  • MAC 217 Blending Brush ($24)
  • Katy Perry Lashes in Punk Princess ($6.99)

Thank you for watching! If you give it a try, snap a quick pic and tweet it to me @karenmbb, or tag me at hashtag #makeupandbeautyblog on Instagram. Please!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    As much as I enjoy going nuts with the number of eyeshadows I use in one look, it can be very refreshing to concentrate on just one shade for a simple but fabulous smoky eye.

    That shadow is just so gorgeous! I need to start using just one shadow sometimes. Blending 3-4 different shadows is what keeps me from wearing eyeshadow on s regular basis lol. This will definitely help me use up my stash and be a little less lazy

    Awesome video, Karen! It’s so satisfying when you find one eyeshadow you can get so many looks from (that’s not a neutral). 🙂

    Could you be so kind and tell what lip gloss are you wearing in this video.
    Thanks Karen.

    I loved that you made three different looks with one eyeshadow. I’m going to try them all especially like how you contoured with smolder eyeliner on the 3rd look.I’m going to have to buy that shadow so pretty!!

    What are you using to spray onto the makeup brush, to make/set the smoky look on the lids?

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
