00:00Hey friends, it's Emily Curl, a total and complete beauty lover, and this is Shortcuts.
00:06And Shortcuts is a very special place.
00:08It's a place where we can play around with makeup, we can throw all the traditional rules
00:12out the window.
00:13So whether you like the basic cat eye or you want to go full blown orange smokey, we support
00:18you and we love you for that.
00:19Check out three of our favorite eye looks coming up.
00:22They might be a little crazy, but with a little bit of help, you'll be able to land it in
00:25no time.
00:28To get this purple smokey eye, you're going to start by adding an eyeshadow primer.
00:33Take a nice fluffy eyeshadow brush and put on a neutral all over the lid.
00:38Next up, you're going to take a light purple color, dust it on the lid right in the crease
00:41and bring it down all the way underneath your eye too.
00:45And then we're going to bring out the pencil, here it is, looks amazing, I love this color,
00:50I love how saturated the pigment is and the glitter on it too.
00:53Fill up your entire lid, we want to make this baby pop.
00:57And don't worry if it gets a little messy, we're going to blend that later, that's okay.
01:01Really get in there and apply it all the way up to your crease.
01:04Take your blending brush again and don't be afraid to move that product around.
01:09We want it to look natural and seamless, like a gradient color coming down.
01:14And then next up you're going to add the same purple color that you did right above the crease
01:18too.
01:20Add that color in so it looks like a natural transition.
01:24Top it off with some mascara and then don't forget to line underneath the eyes too.
01:32And then there you have it, your purple smokey eye and you look amazing.
01:42Copper eye is in and I am not mad about it.
01:45Start by applying a dark brown in the crease and underneath the eye.
01:50The key here is blending.
01:52Add the gold right on top of the lid, it catches the light so well and gives you that little
01:56extra pop of shimmer.
01:58Bring that down to the lower lash line too.
02:00Add a pop of highlight in the inner corner and on the brow bone.
02:03And top it off with mascara.
02:05Go top lashes and lower lashes and you are going to be looking fierce.
02:10If you want to take this look up a notch and wear it for a night out, what you're going
02:14to do is just keep putting on that mascara and add a touch more of that copper color right
02:18in the center of your lid.
02:20This will give you a more three dimensional effect.
02:24And go ahead and take that warm brown back into the crease and smoke it out because the
02:29world needs a bit more smokey eye.
02:34Now this next look is not for the faint of heart.
02:37Start with a lot of eyeshadow primer right underneath your eye.
02:40We don't want that color going anywhere.
02:42Take your favorite black shadow and apply it to the outer corner of your eye.
02:48Add a purple color and blend it towards the black.
02:52Finish with a dab of blue right in the center.
02:55Smudge a dark pencil along your waterline.
02:58And just keep blending those out for a nice ombre effect.
03:02These are galactic eyes so you want to add a complimentary mascara.
03:06We went with purple.
03:14Add a bold lip just for fun using two of your favorite purple colors.
03:19And there you have it.
03:20You are out of this world.
03:22And those are three amazing eye looks.
