One palette - one brush - one tutorial

I reaceived the SMOKED EYES PALETTE and decited to share my first look using it wit you. My idea was to make soething special and I decited to reconstruct a vacation-situation. No additorial brushes for the eye make up. The whole look is made with the small, tiny, minimini SE-brush, that is included in the palette. So here we go...

Started with usual foundation (everyone has an own ritual)... I also take eye shadow base... Then used for entire lid the MALT e/s, the lightest shade int he palette

Then I applied VES as Highligter just below the brow. I will use it later for blending too...

Now stard defining: take the middle shade SATIN TAUPE and apply it in the crease - just along the bone. I make it always from outer to inner corner... Be generous and apply it quite high

So we can apply something darker on top: GENTLE FUMEis a mid grey with shimmer. I applied it also in the crease, but a bit lower as the shade underneath, so we get a well blended look :-D

And now the allrounder: BLACK TIED. First in the oter angle of the lid...

...and then a bit at the beginning of the outer corner, so it slides into the GENTLE FUME... Then I dip the brush horizontally into BLACK TIED and apply it along lash line...

I love the DUOCHROME shades on my lower lid - so take the CLUB for this purpose...

And now, as promised, the VEX again. Apply it along the sharp line of the dark eye shadows and blend it well...

Some khol in the waterline - I used agnés b. "black" - and mascara by BENEFIT...

I think the colors in the palette are the best basic colection, as the colors can be used for nude looks and even for a bit darker. And you can combine them to almost every other more colorful eye shadows too... I don´t know if you need the whole palette. Most of the colors are available seperately. So maybe MALT is not really the right choice for you, but it depends on how you gonna use it. Try the shades at MAC if you can and then you can try to get the palette, if you like them. But I love the palette....

THAAAAANK YOOOOU :-D I have made this tut accidentally, as I made swatches for a gal and then the camara already stands in the bath so I decited to make a quick-tut :-D When I starded extreme-MAC-ing, I was always bit confused by all the brushes in the tutorials - I only had two or three, nothing special and had the feeling, that I could not get a nice look without min. 10 brushes. Wanted to show to all newbies, that it IS possible with a simple brush to get a nice look. And I love the PALETTE. I LOOOOVE IT.
