Everyday Smokey Eye - Kahlia Adams
Our inspiration came from Tom Ford’s 2014 runway look.  This included strong brows (as you do), a brown smokey eye, velvety skin, and a nude lip.  We achieved this with products like Face and Body foundation from MAC, combined with NYX mineral matte finish powder.  For the eyes, we did MAC Dipdown Fluid line in black track, mixed with Lise Watier Ombre Souffle in taupe fantasia.  The biggest difference for me was the lashes, which we took to the next level by adding just a few individual lashes and lots of L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black.  I was shocked at how easy the individual lashes were to apply and wear, will definitely be trying them out again soon.

Things were finished off with a Hoola Bronzer from Benefit to contour the face and a bit of MAC Lipstick in Blankety.  We then threw my hair up into a messy top knot to emphasize just how casual this look can be.  I’ve since recreated this one and am super happy with the results.  Thanks to Kahlia for once again working her makeup magic!

If you’re loving these beauty collabs, we’d love to hear what you’d like to see next!  Head on over to Kahlia’s Instagram or Facebook Page (or leave a comment below) with any questions or suggestions.  And if you’d like to book Kahlia Adams for an appointment of your own, you can do so here.
