Hey, beauties! I’m so thrilled to share my latest makeup love with you: Colorfix by Danessa Myricks Beauty. In my recent TikTok video, I used the shade Vamp to create a smoky eye look that I’m honestly obsessed with. Haven’t seen it yet? You can watch it right here:
In this post, I’ll take you through every step I showed in the video, sprinkle in some tips, and explain why this product is a total game-changer, especially for us in the GTA and Mississauga where humid weather can mess with our makeup vibes. Whether you’re new to makeup or a pro, this smoky eye tutorial is for you!
Why Colorfix is My Go-To
Colorfix is this amazing multi-use product that’s long-lasting and waterproof. I use it as an eyeshadow base, liner, or even a lip colour when I’m feeling creative. It’s perfect for bold looks that don’t budge, which is a must with Toronto’s wild weather. Plus, it’s vegan and cruelty-free, so if you’re searching for “vegan makeup brands GTA,” this one’s for you.
What I love most is how it holds up in humidity. Living in the Greater Toronto Area, we’ve all had those days where our makeup just doesn’t survive the heat. Colorfix keeps my smoky eye flawless, whether I’m out in Mississauga on a steamy summer day or caught in a Toronto rain shower.
My Step-by-Step Smoky Eye Tutorial
Here’s exactly how I created the look in my TikTok video. Let’s dive in!
- Start with a Small Amount
I placed a small dab of Colorfix in Vamp on my palette. Then, I grabbed a tiny pocket brush to pack the colour onto my eyelid with pressing motions. This builds that rich, smoky base I’m going for. - Blend It Out
Next, I took a tiny blender brush to blend out the edges and create that soft, smoky shape. For my friends with hooded eyes in Mississauga searching “makeup for hooded eyes,” try blending upwards to lift the look. It’s a game-changer! - Layer with Juvia’s Place
I used Colorfix as an eyeshadow base for Juvia’s Place The Berries palette. With more pressing motions, I packed on the colour to make it pop. It’s all about that vibrant payoff. - Blend the Crease
To smooth everything out, I went in with Artis Couture Multi-Use Beauty Powder in Honey Suite to blend the crease. It gives the look depth and keeps it polished. - Add Some Shimmer
For a touch of glam, I pressed Artis Couture Lights Finisher in Crystal Glaze onto my eyelid with a flat brush. I warmed it up on the back of my hand first to make it glide on smoothly. - Waterline Drama
I used Marc Eye Cool in Teddy in the waterline, then dried it with a Q-tip to keep it crisp. It adds that extra intensity to the smoky eye. - Lower Lash Line Trick
Back to Colorfix, I grabbed a spoolie and used it as a lower lash line mascara. It ties the whole look together in such a cool way. - Finish with Lashes
To wrap it up, I popped on Doll Beauty Lashes in the style Angel. Those lashes bring the drama, and I’m here for it!
Tips to Make It Last in Humid Weather
Want your smoky eye to stay put all day? Here’s what works for me:
- Set It Right
After applying Colorfix, I dust on a translucent powder to lock it in. It’s a lifesaver for humid days in the GTA. - Spray It Down
A good setting spray is my secret weapon for “long-lasting makeup for humid weather.” It keeps everything in place. - Build Slowly
Layer the colour bit by bit to avoid creasing. It’s perfect for those sticky Toronto summers.
Why This Look Rocks for Toronto and Mississauga
Here in the GTA, we need makeup that can handle our weather quirks. Colorfix’s waterproof magic means my smoky eye stays fierce, whether I’m running errands in Mississauga or hitting up a Toronto event. It’s versatile too, so you can go subtle for day or bold for night. If you’re looking for “makeup tutorials for beginners Mississauga,” this is an easy one to start with!
And guess what? This look works beyond the GTA. If you’re in New York dealing with similar humidity, these steps will keep your makeup on point too.
