An Ode to Essence: Smokey Eye Set

Price: R29, 99 

Are you one of those people that perfected the smokey eye when it first became all the rage? I wasn't! In fact, the first time I attempted the look I ended up looking like I'd had a rough night before the night got started! After a few attempts I managed to get it looking better but it never looked quite its best until I came across the Essence Smokey Eye Set (very clever of them I have to say). I bought the grey set but they're sold in various colours like purple and brown and they come with instructions on the back to help you figure out which shadow to apply first and where (helpful for a beginner like I was). 

The set comes with two shadows and an applicator brush with two sides. The shadow on the left is the typical shadow consistency with a bit of shine (perf for evenings out) while the shadow on the right has more of a putty consistency (so it has staying power) and is meant to be used as a liner which you then smudge out. I always get scared I'll overdo it when I decide to do a smokey eye but this set helps me keep it subtle and with it's affordable price I have to declare it a favourite! A little Essence long lasting eye pencil (review coming soon) because I like my liner to be nice and dark and you have the perfect night time look to go out!

What's your favourite eye makeup look?
