Silver and Grey Tutorial

Here's a tutorial using some of my MAC pigments and eyeshadows. I wanted a little sparkle since this is an evening look, so I went for Silver Fog pigment which is as shimmery as you can get, especially when foiled. It's nice though because it really brings forth the eyes and makes them look awake and a little less tired.

What I used (all things MAC):



Not in photo:
MAC Beige-ing shadestick
MAC White Wheat eyeshadow


First, apply Beige-ing shadestick on lid (including brows, but thinly-applied) and on lower lashline. Foil Silver Fog pigment on lid using MAC mixing medium.


Foil Soft-washed Grey pigment from mid to outer lid using MAC mixing medium. It should look like this.


Apply Swan Lake on outer lid over Soft-washed Grey, then apply Silver Ring on middle of lid as a transition color.


Using MAC 239 brush, apply Knight Divine on outer lid.


Using MAC 222 brush, apply Knight Divine on crease, then apply a little bit of Cloudburst on the crease and blend everything together using the 222.


Apply Silver Fog on inner lower lashline using MAC 219 brush. Apply Knight Divine eyeshadow on outer lower lashline using the 219 as well. It should look like this so far.


Fill in brows, curl lashes, apply mascara, apply falsies (I used Ardell #105), apply Blacktrack fluidline on upper lashline.


Apply White Wheat eyeshadow to highlight and you're done (with the eyes, at least!)
