Monday make up

I wear a smokey eye most days because I've found it to be the most flattering look on my eyes.
I challenge myself to play with color, finishes, and techniques.
Pretty much it's a game of "how many ways can I make a smokey eye".
Turns out it's quite a bit.
I thought I'd start sharing the finished looks on here with some tips and tricks I've picked up along the way.
These will be pretty much gear towards those with small eyes, hooded lids, or mono-lids... Since that's what I have.
My tip today is to avoid shimmery highlighters on the brow bone.
This is pretty much the antithesis of a lot of makeup artist.
There's a couple reasons I say this.
1) light shimmery colors draw the eye there, so other will be looking at that frost white instead or your actual eye. It's distracting and dates you look. It can even age you. I've also found that shimmery or frost colors don't blend in the most flattering way and are very harsh for daytime wear, especially if you're heavy handed.
2)if you have hooded or mono lids this will make the excess skin on your brow look even more prominent, thus closing your eye off even more.
Choose matte or satin finish highlighters, they are soft for daytime and blend softer.
You may a different opinion, and that totally fine.
This is just what I've found.
