Grey 2 Ways: Day and Night Looks
—-

One of the most important things you can learn about grey is that it goes VERY well with black. I created 2 simple eye looks using grey eye shadows. Both are used in conjunction with black shadows, shaped to create different effects.

Simple Look.

Step 1: Apply a base or lid primer. It can be flesh colored or a silvery shade.
—-

Step 2: Run a black pencil along the upper lash line and smudge out using a flat brush.
 —-

Step 3: Sweep a medium-deep gunmetal grey over the entire lid (I used I Nuovi Dust in Titanium but any grey will do), keeping the innermost corners bare. Then use a finer brush to sweep the brown along the lower lash line as well.
 —-

Step 4: Dab a little pale gold in the inner corner and down around the tear duct. Touch up the lash line with some matte black powder for a soft wing.
 —-
Step 5: Apply black mascara to finish the look.
 —-
Dramatic Look


Step 2: (Step 1 is exactly the same as above.) Use a pencil brush to apply a dark black shadow in a wide V- shape at the socket line, and extending straight out slightly in a low flare.
 —-

Step 3: Pack a glimmering pewter grey along the lids (I Nuovi Metallogy Shadow in Tin ). You can even apply silver micro-glitter over a regular grey shadow for more contrast against the matte black.
 —-

Step 4: Apply black liner along the water line and tide line, and then use the pencil brush from earlier to run the pewter grey along the lower lid as well.
 —-

Step 5: Using a flat, firm angled brush, sharpen the outer edges of the makeup with matte black eye shadow so it increases in intensity right at the outside edges.
 —-

Step 6: Add a little more black to where the black meets the silver at the outer third of the lid so the gradient is stronger. Add mascara to finish!
