everyone my name is Bradley Miller and I
am a regional education trainer
welcome to the Mac Channel today I'm
gonna show you all of my tips and tricks
on how to get this beautiful smoky eye
to complement your blue eyes let's get
this magic started okay so I like to
start with curling my lashes sometimes
when you're doing a smoky eye can be
kind of hard at the end to see where
your lashes are and where this smoky eye
is so get them lifted first and by the
time you're done with your smoky eye
it'll be so much easier to make your
mascara pop after I've called my lashes
I go in with the most magical product in
the universe it's prep and prime 24-hour
eye base it is eye shadow insurance you
can literally jump in a pool after
putting this product on your eyes I like
to warm it up on my hand like this and
then I go right onto my eyelid and then
very lightly push it up under the
eyebrow then I took my ring finger a
little bit of the product and I go right
under my eyes put a little bit of this
product in your outer corners and you
will not have to worry about a gap
happening in your eye shut up so now
we're gonna go in with the foundation of
my smoky eye and I'm gonna use a coaster
ish eye Kohl it's super creamy this is
going to really bring out the blue in my
eyes and it's gonna be the perfect base
for all of the beautiful shadows that
I'm going to do you can see already my
blue eyes almost look crystal clear
sometimes it's a little bit shocking
even for myself but I don't stop there
so what I do is I take the Kohl and I
run it under my lash line and then up
onto my upper lash line and if you think
about color theory blue and orange are
exact opposites on the color wheel
anytime a color sets exact opposite from
another color those are complementary so
if I'm using a pencil that has orange
and warmth in it it's going to bring out
the cool-blue of my eyes
okay so step number three after applying
the heichal i'm going to be using the
two one seven blending brush from Mac I
love this brush it is honestly if you
have this brush you can do any type of
smoky eye doesn't matter if you're going
out are you doing something soft for the
office this brush will do it for you
it's it's my magic one it's so easy to
blend because it's slightly stiff but it
still has this beautiful fluffy tip
remember I said I'm going to be working
with shadows so I like to leave a little
bit of real estate for some other colors
I'm about to throw up in the mix so now
I'm gonna blend the bottom and I'm gonna
do the same type of motion under my eyes
I always tell this to anyone learning
the smoky eyes for the first time
do not worry about perfection this is
all about blended lines a little bit of
messy is always okay because if you're
working with eyeshadow you can just
cover it up and grow up we're gonna
throw a little glitter on it so it
doesn't matter another thing I have to
mention about this incredible brush is
that the tip is perfectly shaped to pull
your eyeshadow out to get that Cleopatra
inspired look since this I call on the
left has been sitting a little bit
longer than on the right sometimes you
might have to go in with a little bit
more Costa reach to balance your color
and I recommend doing all of this first
before putting any powder product okay
step number four and this brown smokey
eye that I'm gonna use this gorgeous
shadow called Samoa silk she has been
with Mac for a very long time and she is
making a very strong comeback with
beautiful pigment really strong payoff
and like the most beautiful blend
ability you have ever worked with
okay so I'm gonna use the two 4-0
synthetic blending brush you can see the
tip is much bigger than the two one
seven brush I'll show you for comparison
and it's gonna make it so easy for me to
blend all of this beautiful brown color
upwards so I'm gonna go right up into
where the coaster recycle meets my skin
so the whole idea of this is to melt the
coaster each with the rest of the eye
you can leave it quite intense like this
or work the brush a little bit more to
blend it out and that's what I'm going
to do so you can see it already starts
to make the eye look bigger and more
blended and that's the effect that I
like I also like to push a little bit of
the color with the brush right up to
where my eyebrow meets my nose here you
can see the brush again one more time is
not just rounded at the tip it's
actually tapered upwards so if you're
using lighter pressure and the tip of
the brush you can basically use the tip
for any where on the eye so I'm going to
take the same brush with the same color
and I'm gonna wrap it underneath my eye
and connect it to the outer corner the
whole trick is to keep the colors warm
and the warmer the color the bluer and
cooler my eyes will look similar silk is
definitely back
she's look back I was gonna share that
else okay so the next step is I'm going
to add a little bit of a difference in
texture sometimes to make people think
that I've spent five hours blending my
eye shadow when I really have it I apply
a little bit of shimmer so I'm gonna use
our new dazzle shadow extreme an objet
art and this gorgeous kind of gold and
Capri tone right in the center of my
eyelid to add a pop and a little shimmer
for your nerves honey I'm going to use
fix plus the Mac og to liquefy this
dazzle shadow extreme to turn it into a
beautiful metallic shimmer
so now I'm gonna take my brush and I'm
gonna place a right in the center of my
eyelid right where my irises to add a
pop oh my God look at that just a few
little taps and I've got 14 karat gold
eyelids hey oh my god it's just so
beautiful and when you move side to side
you still see that matte texture all the
way around the shimmer so always
remember matte also complements shimmer
so if you want to make your eyes pop
even further use these two textures and
you'll never go wrong so now I'm gonna
take a little bit of the product dry on
my finger I'll go right on top oh my god
beautiful so I mean I don't know about
you guys but I am falling in love with
this gorgeous metallic molten gold on my
eyelids I'm gonna complement it a little
bit more with some darkness in the outer
corner but now I'm really feeling myself
so I'm gonna a little bit in my inner
corners oh my god when I was a kid I
used to watch to Wong foo thanks for
everything Julie Newmar over and over
again and those close-ups of vie de
Boheme eyes when she would go like I
would just make my life gay so you've
probably noticed I've changed my brush
and I am now using the two 1:9 pencil
brush and this guy is so perfect for
getting right in small little areas to
add detail but it also blends as well it
makes your life so much easier this
beautiful gold has really stepped the
game up so I want to darken my eyes a
little bit more and I'm gonna use this
gorgeous new beautiful red brown
eyeshadow it's called how it sauce it's
just perfect for and I look like this so
I'm going to take the to 1/7 brush and
I'm just using the tip of the brush I'm
going to darken the outer part of my eye
top and bottom so let's say you did do
this and you add in a little too much or
you thought it was a little too dark
always go back with the two 4-0
synthetic brush
use this to blend so I don't know if you
caught that I'm gonna do it again on the
other side the payoff of these beautiful
new eyeshadows is insane tune into how
quickly this product grabs to my skin
watch look at that with just one little
wiggle of my brush this product has laid
down so smoothly so pigmented and
remember when in doubt just blend it out
okay just to really tie this whole look
together I'm gonna go back in with some
o-silk and add some more depth up in the
crease of the eye so the first mascara
I'm gonna use is our hot knotty lash
mascara in brown I'm gonna use that on
my bottom lashes to really define them
without making them jump off of the
brown shadow that's underneath the brown
mascara also is complementary to blue
eyes so I actually wear this mascara
every day even when I'm not wearing
eyeshadow because it makes my blue eyes
pop without having to wear eyeshadow or
anything too dramatic okay so now it's
time for the final step I'm gonna be
using an extreme dimension mascara in 3d
black this mascara is the end-all be-all
mascaras it is the best in the business
it is the blackest of black mascaras it
curls it lengthens it defines it does
anything you could ever want a mascara
to do so the trick to having a magical
mascara application is to give yourself
a little bit of back comb or a wiggle so
what I like to do is get into the root
deposit all the product by wiggling back
and forth and then I hold a product
through to get this effect another
really fun thing about this mascara is
that the tip of the wand is also a comb
so you can use it to comb through any
small lashes or areas that are hard to
get with the full wand so another little
tip I have is if you ever get mascara on
your lid or in your eyeshadow don't
touch it
let it dry put on your lipstick and a
little bit of face powder and go back to
it after it's dry all you have to do is
take a cotton swab or Yves
your finger and just lightly pull the
product away so always remember play
with texture matte and shimmer
when in doubt blend it out and remember
have fun with it makeup is about
expressing yourself it doesn't have to
be perfect please like subscribe and
