Subtle Tipsy Smoky Eyes

Prep with Sunscreen & Primer

Apply a thin layer of sunscreen all over your face. Layer an oil-control primer on the oily T-zone, then pat with your fingertips until fully absorbed to create a smooth, long-lasting base for makeup.

Build a Sheer, Natural Base

Take a small amount of hydrating foundation and blend it out from the center of your face with a damp makeup sponge. Lightly sweep over the cheeks to preserve your skin’s natural texture — avoid a heavy, cakey finish.

Conceal Only Where Needed

Use a small concealer brush to dab concealer onto dark under-eye circles, redness around the nose, and dull corners of the mouth. Pat the edges with your fingertips to blend, without covering your natural skin texture.

Pro tipKeep under-eye concealer sheer to prevent creasing and emphasize fine lines.

Set Only Oily Areas

Swirl a large fluffy brush in translucent powder, tap off the excess, and lightly dust the T-zone and under-eye area. Leave the cheeks dewy — skip a full-face powder set.

Create Soft, Natural-Looking Brows

Use an ash-brown brow pencil to fill in sparse areas in the direction of hair growth, creating natural, hair-like strokes. Keep the arch soft rather than sharp, then brush upward with clear brow gel to set.

Apply Wine Red-Brown Eyeshadow

Use a large blending brush to sweep a thin layer of low-saturation wine red-brown eyeshadow across the entire eye socket. Blend the edges outward for a seamless transition with no harsh lines.

Deepen the Outer Corner

Pick up deep brown-red eyeshadow on a small detail brush, and blend from the outer third of the eye inward to deepen the crease and build a natural, softly defined smoky look.

Brighten the Under-Eye Aegyo Sal

Use a light champagne matte eyeshadow to brighten the front half of your aegyo sal, then dot a shimmer pearl shade in the center for a soft, plump effect — keep it subtle, not over-the-top.

Soften Eye Shape with Inner Liner

Use a dark brown kohl pencil to fill in gaps along the upper lash line. Extend a tiny 3mm tail at the outer corner, keeping the line soft and gentle to avoid a harsh, sharp look.

Curl & Define Lashes

Curl upper and lower lashes in three sections with an eyelash curler, then apply a thin coat of brown mascara, wiggling from root to tip for separated, clump-free lashes.

Add Natural Nose Contour

Use an ash-brown contour brush to sweep lightly along both sides of the nose, from below the brow bone to the tip. Keep the shadow sheer and natural — skip harsh straight lines, and lightly dust under the nose tip to refine its shape.

Softly Sculpt Face Contour

Use an angled contour brush with cool-toned contour powder to lightly sweep under the cheekbones, along the jawline, and at the hairline. Blend until it melts into your natural skin tone with no obvious patches.

Dot on Luminous Highlighter

Use your fingers to tap a finely milled champagne highlighter onto the high points of your cheekbones, brow bone, mid-nose bridge, and cupid’s bow. Blend lightly for a natural, lit-from-within glow.

Blend a Tipsy Flush

Dab wine-red cream blush onto the apples of your cheeks with your fingertips, blending outward toward the temples for a natural, just-had-a-drink rosy flush.

Prep Lips & Finish with Soft Matte Lip Color

First, apply a thin layer of lip balm to soften lips, blot off excess oil, then layer a sheer coat of matte berry lip mud. Use your finger to blur the lip line for a soft, diffused, matte finish.

Set the Whole Look

Hold setting spray 20cm from your face and mist evenly, then pat gently to help it absorb. This blends base and color products seamlessly and extends wear time for your party look.
