Tutorial | LORAC Pro Palettes

Whether working on a client or myself, I have found myself continually reaching for only two eyeshadow palettes; the LORAC Pro and Pro 2. The possibility of looks with just one, let alone both, of these are endless and today I wanted to share a recent smokey eye I created using the green, gold and brown shades.

After applying a primer to my lids, I started the look by taking ‘Sable’ on a fluffy brush and building this up as a transition shade through my crease. I then took ‘Cocoa’ over the top of this and also used a detailed to brush to run both shades along my lower lash line.  


Then took the shade ‘Jade’ from the Pro 2 Palette on a flat shadow brush and placed it onto the centre of my lid as well as the middle section of my lower lash line. I then went back in with a clean fluffy brush through my crease so that this shade blended smoothly into the previous colours. 

On a detailed brush, I took a small amount of the matte 'Black' and placed this on the outer and inner end of my lid. I blended this out with a fluffy brush so that the effect was a subtle definition on either end. 
I finished by spraying a small shadow brush with MAC Fix + before taking the ‘Gold’ and placing it on the centre of my lid and tear duct. I then gently blended over the top of this as to not remove any product but so that it flowed seamlessly into the other shades. 

I finished the look off by adding a thin line of black liquid liner along my top lash line, mascara and a set of strip lashes. I filled in my brows with my Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Pomade in Dark Brown and set these in place with clear brow gel. I also decided to wear this look with a classic, cold red lip.

I hope you enjoyed this quick tutorial and I would love to know your current favourite eye look or whether you’ve tried out the LORAC Pro Palettes for yourself. Leave comments below and tag me on Instagram @devonmartin.mua if you recreate this look!

Tutorial : Smokey Blue Cat Eye

Today I have another video to share with you all, it’s a full length tutorial for the Smokey Cat Eye that featured in my 3 Ways To: Liquid Liner #3 post. This look is perfect for anyone with small or hooded eyes like myself, as it will help to elongate and widen them. 


I loved putting this look together and I hope that you also enjoy watching this little tutorial. Hopefully it will provide you with inspiration as to how to play around with your LORAC Pro Palettes at home. I really wanted to create a dramatic eye that was still wearable. I loved playing around with the navy shade to create a subtle blue undertone and think that this will especially look gorgeous on any blue eyes to make the colour pop!

I would love to hear what you all think, either in the comments down below, on the video or you can message me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. What looks would like to see me create next?

Devon
