If there’s one look I’ve always found challenging it’s the smoky eye. While it’s nearly an essential makeup look for everyone else, I have always had a difficult time actually creating the look on myself. For many years, I honestly thought I had to write off the look – believing that perhaps I was just too fair or my eyes were too light, to really carry the look off well.
My mind was changed though when as soon as I began using Urban Decay’s Naked Smoky Eyeshadow Palette. After playing around with the palette a few times, I discovered a really easy way to create a  soft smoky eye look. If you feel challenged by the smoky eye than be sure to click through to see my the full easy smoky eye makeup tutorial to master the look yourself!

Smoky Eye Makeup Look Tutorial

To start, I always like to apply my Urban Decay primer. I always use a primer because I like to ensure that my look will last all day, or all night. There’s nothing more frustrating than being at the office or out for the night and seeing that your makeup has faded or smudged within a few hours!
This primer is their Anti-Aging primer which I use to help fight the signs of aging. While I am still quite young, I have always felt that using products that are made to keep skin youthful are smart to use earlier to protect my skin early on.

Now before we get into the eyeshadow part of this look, I want to list out the shadows so you can see and refer back in order to recreate this look. So from left to right here are the eyeshadows:

THE SHADOWS:

– High: A soft sparkly champagne pink (shimmer finish)
– Dirtysweet: A soft coppery / bronze tone shadow with golden tones. (shimmer finish)
– Radar: A deeper copper / bronze tone with warm golden tones. (shimmer finish)
– Armor: Soft metallic grey shadow (shimmer finish)
– Slanted: A matte gunmetal grey shadow (metallic finish)
– Dagger: A deeper grey shadow with a blue tinge, like a submarine blue colour. (metallic finish)
– Black Market: A deep black shadow. (metallic finish)
– Smolder: Eggplant shadow with subtle shine throughout it. (metallic finish)
– Password: A soft matte brown shadow  (matte finish)
– Whiskey: A warm chocolatey brown (matte finish)
– Combust: A matte peach colour (matte finish)
– Thirteen: A matte yellow-toned shadow (matte finish)

This entire eye-shadow look is using my absolute favourite eye shadow palette at the moment, Urban Decay’s Naked Smoky Palette. This palette really has all the shadows you need to create both soft and dramatic looks.
To start, I apply Dirtysweet across my entire eye lid. This colour is a soft coppery / rose gold hue and applies very pigmented so you won’t need to use a lot of product.

For the eye crease colour, I used Whiskey (which is the deep brown eye shadow) and then added in a very small dash of Black Market to deepen the shadow. Using a fluffy eyeshadow brush, I then blended the entire eyeshadow look together.
If you find the crease colour doesn’t blend well, add a bit of Dirtysweet ( the rose-gold / copper shadow we used on the eye-lid) and simply blend it overtop of the dark crease colour to really blend and soften the transition of the lid to crease shadows. If you ever find a colour applies to dark, simply lighten it with another shadow and blend the two together.

To create a brighter and bigger looking eye, highlight the tear duct and brow done with a lighter eye shadow. I applied the shadow called Thirteen in order to create the brighter eye effect. This little trick is one I always turn to on days that I feel I am looking a bit tired.

Taking Whiskey, I then added a defined cat-eye to my upper lid. I love a cat-eye to create a bolder look eye and to make my lashes appear thicker. By using a shadow to create the liner though, you’ll create a slightly softer effect that will blend a bit more into the overall eyeshadow look.
To line your lower lash line, use the dark brown and blend that on the lower lash up to where your crease colour is. By using the brown rather than the black colour, your look will appear less harsh.

If there’s one makeup product I never leave the house without wearing it’s mascara. I currently am using Maybelline’s Volum’ Express Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara. I personally love super long + thick lashes and I have always found that Maybelline mascaras provide this sort of effect. Plus, their prices just can’t be beat.

To complete this look, I’ve used Urban Decay’s Nourishing Lipgloss in FreeStyle. This honey tone lip gloss has beautiful flecks of gold throughout it which really hides the look of dry chapped lips.

    You look absolutely lovely and I think you did a great job with the eye makeup. I have problems with applying eyeshadows in general, it's better now but it took me over a year of practising everyday. I have this palette but somehow I can't love it….maybe I should try using it again.

    Such a pretty look. I also love the way your hair is styled! I'm the type of person that wears minimal makeup so I have a hard time trying bolder looks.

      It’s such a great palette. Urban Decay’s Naked Smoky Palette is one that I use almost every day, some of the colours are really dark and vampy – but most are easy to wear every day. I love it!

“I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 I s “I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 

I saw so many powerful messages today from people sharing their "why" — the reason behind why they were there and standing as one of the "fringe". Here's a few reasons that I saw and heard: 

- Why? Because I want my child to grow seeing smiles and smiling
- Why? Because I miss my family and loved ones.
- Why? Because my lived experience tells me not to trust what is happening right now. 
- Why? Because I believe in our informed consent principles.
- Why? Because I believe in choice without coercion. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my job as a healthcare worker. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my business. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my home. 
- Why? Because I’ve been injured. 
- Why? Because I think there’s a better way forward for everyone. 
- Why? Because I chose what I knew was best for me and I want everyone else to be free to do that as well. 

Everyone has a unique reason why, and it’s important to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. Now is the time. Let's come together and be united💛

I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the loss and illness that so many have experienced from C. It has been an extraordinarily hard two years for many, many people, for all sorts of different reasons and it is not my aim to diminish any of them. What I am trying to express is that we are at a breaking point societally. 

If we continue to move forward with coercion, mandates, restrictions, and divisive passports based on fear (or a hope) then we risk setting precedents that we may not be comfortable leaning on in the future. We also risk dividing our society to such a degree that may make it difficult, if not impossible, to ever bring back together. Despite all of the debates, arguments, and comments made over the last few years, I do not believe that deep down Canadians want to live in a state of perpetual division.

If this is not the time to unite and end these mandates, when is? It is our systems that are broken, and they have been broken for a very long time. We all know this. Let's unite and fix them, and more together 💛

Creating our own peace ☮️

Nearing the end of 2021, one thing that Jer & I wanted to prioritize was creating our own peace. Life has been exhausting for the last long while and, like most people, our mental well-being suffered from the current state of Canada. We knew we needed to make some changes, add something to our lives to remove us (even temporarily, now and again) from the chaos that is now the “new normal”. So, we began making road trips around BC to find our very own home away from home. I feel immensely lucky to now have this remote sanctuary in our lives. It is somewhere we can go when life gets too overwhelming, somewhere we could live eventually if life continues to be overwhelming. In just the first few days here, I’ve already felt a shift in my mindset. I feel incredibly lucky to have this place and already it feels like home. 💖
✨Growing pains✨ . . . 2021, for many of us, w ✨Growing pains✨
. . . 
2021, for many of us, was a year of growth. Some of it was painful, most of it inspiring, and all of it necessary. Sometimes growing means needing to shed the older versions of ourselves and sometimes that can be difficult or cause a loss in friendships or relationships. It can be challenging - believe me, I get it. But, anything or anyone who couldn't respect your growth then won't respect your future growth. While growth can be painful it is not nearly as painful as the dull consistent ache of feeling stuck.
