The goal of this look was to create a really simple but effective smokey eye that isn't too dark and dramatic, and that is easy to achieve using just 2 eyeshadows and a minimal set of basic eye brushes. I know many teens do not have a large makeup collection and just have the basics when getting started, so I wanted to show that even with some basic skills and products, it's still possible to achieve a nice smokey eye look. This look would be perfect for going out in the evening with friends to a movie, or on a date! I hope you enjoy the final installment in my teen makeup series!

I kind of missed the hip-hop and goth looks. Although I don't know if any of that is still going on where some of you live (Where I live it's still alive and kickin')
I would request a punk look but that, I know, is not in its best moment. (Sadly)
However, all in all and statistically speaking, impeccable selection!

I haven't been a teen since almost ten years but I really liked your teen videos. I'm having much fun lately with bright colors and dramatic looks, and it's been great seing simple yet sophisticated looks. I tried your Preppy/Blair Waldorf one the other day, it was very flattering.

Beautiful eyes. You look so gorgeous on your makeup.

Hallo, liebe Julia!
Der Look sieht wieder einmal traumhaft aus! Wollte dich fragen, ob es den Bronzer von Barry M in nur EINER Nuance gibt oder gibt es mehrere Farben davon? Er sieht übrigens toll aus an dir!
