So I'm back with another Margot Robbie Inspired Tutorial!
This is my Pale Girl Contouring 2.0 - Smokey Eye Edition.
As always, there is no photoshop of any kind in any of these images.
Now I gave the ladies of Reddit a sneak peek of this last week, so you may have already seen it on Reddit, but here is my full step by step tutorial of how to achieve this look.
I've been asked to do more tutorials, so here's Pale Girl Contouring 2.0 Smokey eye edition. Hopefully I've made this simple enough for you to try too, I'm never sure if i'm making tutorials correctly, It would be useful to get some feedback, what works & what doesn't to improve the next!
Disclaimer: Had to take phonecall during making this, annnd my camera ran out of battery so had to stop to charge it... during this time my hair starts having a messy mind of it's own. Sorry!
Now i'm only going to list the most important stages here as to not make it too image heavy, but for the full album - check out my Imgur album here!

Get some base on that face!
Products used: Mac Studio Fix Fluid NC15. I used 2 pumps and applied using Real Techniques Expert Face Brush
Now it's time to get that contour on!
Products used: Illamasqua Skin Base #01 White & Maybeline FIT Foundation Shade 355
(I'm using a different foundation from last time, as i think the Chanel Pro Lumiere foundation was breaking me out. sigh.)
Blend that high lighter down and feather it into your foundation.
I blend out the highlight first using a flat foundation brush... because that's kinda the only brush i have currently to do this step.
Here's a little harvey dent shot to show you how it looks so far. I've softly blended the contour and the hi light together, first off by brushing up into it, and then in small soft circles.
This is how my face looks when blending is complete. Now, add a little touch of powder, just to set that. I used my B. Pressed powder in Light/Medium and applied it using my Real Techniques Powder Brush.
Next up, it's time to cover those dark circles. I've applied my Mac Studio Fix Conealer NC15 under my eyes. You're then going to blend that in. I used my finger for this step as I find the warmth of my finger on the product helps.
Now we're going to get some bronzer on that pale skin. I'm currently using Bourjois Paris Bronzer in shade 52. I've placed my bronzer in the same places that i applied my contour, making sure I give special attention to my cheekbones, temple area and my forehead. I do this as i find it gives another layer of depth to the contoured look.
Next up, blush and base. Ad you blusher onto your cheekbones just above your bronzer. I've used Bourjois Paris, Little round pot in frosted rose. I've gone in with a light hand to bring out a rosy glow. I then prepped my eyelids with a base of NYX Milk.
Blend out the NYX Milk and then add your base shadow on top. I've chosen The shade 'Naked' from the Naked Basics palette. you don't have to be too neat with it at this point because it's going to get blended out.
Next add your shimmering brown or bronze shade. I've used Bourjois Paris, Little round pot #54. I then blend the shimmer out into the matte shade.
Next, take a darker shimmer shade of your choice and work that into the crease and also around the outer corner of your eyes. Blend that using a nice big fluffy brush.
Next we're going to start the eyeliner. Tight line your top lashes, waterline your bottom and add a small wing. I've used a gel liner for this as i'm kinda digging the new liner i picked up to test out. It's B. Cosmetics Gel Liner - Black.
Now we're going to smudge out that liner, again to add an extra layer of depth to the eyes and the overall look. I've also gone back in with the MAC studio fix concealer underneath my eyes as I personally didn't feel they bright enough for my liking. I didn't get much sleep the night before I made this tutorial and I felt like my face showed it! You don't have to do this step. It's optional...
Get your HG Mascara out and flutter those lashes! I've used my Bourjois Volume Clubbing - Ultra Black Mascara.
Now we're going to fill in those brows and add definition to that face of yours. I used my Sleek Eyebrow powder only from the palette. I've gone for a lighter brow colour this time, as a few people thought it may look better than the slightly darker tone I used previously. Whadya think?
And Here's the finished look... It's time to grab your eyelashes (if you want to wear them) Grab your favourite nude lipstick, and fix your hair! We're going for the red carpet look.
Finished with a slick of B. Cosmetics Liptick 'Dolls House'
Thanks for checking this tutorial out, and i'll be back with more like this soon!
