SMOKEY EYE TUTORIAL FOR OVER 40
Hi everyone!!! It is Friday and that means that it is time for a video. Today, I chose to try my hand at doing a Smokey Eye! I have actually read some ladies who are older who have said when you reach a “certain” age that you should not wear much (if any) eyeshadow. As you can already see, I might disagree with that statement. Lol! I love makeup and I feel that if used correctly it will enhance your already natural beauty. Sooooo, let’s check out the video and see how I did. I am going to be using the Tarteist Pro palette by Tarte. Here is a list of the colors that I used from the palette.
- Overall eye – Chic
- EyeLid color – Smoke – applied with Sigma E45 (blending)
- Outer edge – Edgy – applied with Sigma E25
- Inner corner + Crease – Innocent
- Ieyelide lid- Ethernal – applied with Foil Brush from Makeup Geek
- Under eyebrow – Classic – applied with Sigma E45 (tapered)
- Lower lash line – Edgy – applied with Sigma E20
- Water line (upper + lower) – punk – wet brush E20
- Mascara – Mac In Extreme Dimension 3D
- Eyebrow – Goof Proof Brow Pencil – Benefit
- Eyebrow Setting Gel – Anastasia of Beverly Hills – Clear

Hi Tania! Loved your video, thanks for showing us a smokey eye! Have you tried using Lash Boost on the spot on your brows that doesn’t grow? My daughter used it to grow back her over plucked brows and it worked wonderfully for her.
I did try it, Sue. It will help hair grow as long as the follicle is alive. Mine are already dead and no hair at all grows there.
This was very helpful. I love trying different eye shadows. Would this be ok for daytime or just a night out sort of look? It looks great! I think I could do this.
Aimee, I wore this in the daytime. It was fine.
Loved your tutorial and your webpage. Have already purchased two suggestions from your postings. I got the striped jumpsuit (have to have it tailored because they only had XL’s left) and I bought the jeans you had on from Old Navy. You are helping me adjust to being over 50 and trying to get my groove on ! 🙂
You are such a JOY! You are inspiring to me as I push towards 60. As a new Grammi, I want to keep the spring in my step from head to toe. Love your blog, etc. Appreciate your hard work!
Thank you for the great videos! Love them. I too believe in still using eyeshadow. I look like I am sick when I don’t. I have cute back on the eyeliner but still use the shadow.
I have signed up for the weekly at least 3 times and am still not receiving it. Would manually add my address? Thanks. I do not want to miss a thing!
Done!!! I don’t want you to miss a thing either!!!
Beautiful Tania! Don’t know how you do this especially as a contact lens wearer. I’ve tried it a couple of times now, tapping the brush and wetting the brush and both times I’ve had to remove my contacts rinse and reinsert ?. Guess I just need practice, practice, practice.
Lol! Kathryn, you need to make sure that you barely get any product on the brush. Plus, I hit lashes more than skin. You are just wanting to do away with the skin.
Just what I need more eye shadow. But I must have this one. Lol
Lol!!! I know exactly what you mean, Cheryl!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos!!!!
Thank you!!!! I truly appreciate you leaving this comment.

I added you to the list, Susan. You should get an email tomorrow with the newsletter. Thanks so much for joining and I hope that you enjoy it.
Love the eye makeup advice. P.s. are you aware but some days now your posts are not arriving until 2 or 3 p.m. We normally have breakfast together at 7 a.m. I miss our mornings together x
I try and schedule my posts so that they go “live” at the same time every day. Sometimes there is a computer glitch and sometimes there is a Tania glitch and they don’t post as they should. Lol!
Very Foxy ? . Loved that tutorial Tania. I am going to buy that Tarteist Smokey Eye portfolio. You look amazing as you add all the colors. I like that Mac Mascara too. What a difference it all makes. Thank you.
It is a trial and error kind of process. There are days that it all works and there are days when it looks like a muddy mess. Lol!
