Make up: TOP Easy, morning, light smokey everyday look (W7 Review)


Hello sparkling snowflakes!❆

Today I am going to show you how you can rock a soft smokey eye on a joker everyday look, worn from sunrise to sunset. For that purpose, I used W7 Eye Palette "ON THE ROCKS" and thus this article doubles as a (non-sponsored) review as well.
I will not get into the whole complexion procedure (you can find my skin care routine here and my complexion preparation here) both to avoid repetition and keep this article as short and easy-to-read as possible.

Let's put an eye on the palette first:



As the name implies itself, the shades are a combo of dark rock colours, mostly cool ones and a few neutral basic shades along with two shimmers. The best thing about this palette is that you can create (obviously) dramatic looks but also light smokey combinations to rock it all day-all night. I will use my own example to prove that a smokey look can still be casual and easy-to-wear even at work or a morning occasion. The specific shadows I used for my look are:






1. Sugar Rim
2. Cheers
3. Martini Olive
4. Magnum
5. Caracao (optional)




Once you prepare your eyelid appropriately (either use a primer or concealer set up with translucent powder to prevent grissiness), apply the shade 'Cheers' above your eyelid and expand it upwards with the help of a fluffy blending brush. Use the shade "Martini Olive" right under the end of "Cheers'' and blend the borders as smooth as possible. Create a diagonal line across the outer half part of your eyelid with the dark shade 'Magnum' and blend it gently towards the corners and upwards to blend it with 'Martini Olive' (3).

Now's time for the trick. Optionally, use the shade Caracao (5) to add some more definition on the edge of your outer corners and/or use a very thin brush to apply it across the line of your eyelashes for a smokey eyeliner effect. Use "Martni Olive" and "Magnum" to underline the lower eyelash line.

Last but not least, you need to add a few highlights to lighten up your eyes and lower down the intensity. Use "Sugar Rim" on the inner corners of your eyes and either expand it towards the middle of the eyelid with a fluffy blending brush or use "Cheers" (2) right before the middle of the eyelid. Extra tip: Make your eyes pop with white (if you are very pale) or beige (for medium-dark skin) eye pencil on your waterline. For a statement result, you can highlight your eyebrow bone with a cool-icy highlighter. I skipped mascara to keep it casual.


Another asset of this look is the easy transition from an office/morning look to a party makeup just by changing your lip colour. 

For an all day look, i went for a nude glossy lip. 

I used: 


  • KYLIE Matte Liquid Lipstick - shade #2 Candy K.

topped with 


  • W7 Iridescent Lip Topper  - shade Holo Heaven.

This is the end of today's make up suggestion.
Feel free to experiment, adjust it and get inspired to rock the best version of yourself every single day! I hope you found my article easy-to-follow. For any question/request/feedback feel free to contact me via the info provided below! Shine on gorgeous gals! Come back soon for more updates.
Kisses,
