Malaika’s Pink Smoky Eye Makeup Is Worth Zooming In On From Every Angle
Step 1: To Up Your Beauty Beat
After cleansing, massage a moisturiser and a primer all over your face to create a smooth, hydrated canvas. Then, buff a little layer of an illuminating serum-infused foundation to retain max glow. Make sure you don’t forget the neck area. Use a damp sponge to get a flawless finish. Dot and blend concealer under the eyes and on any scars or blemishes you wish to cover.
Step 2: Your Brows But Better
Use a brow pencil to fill in gaps in your brows using feather-light strokes. Next, use a gel in dark brown through the brows to set them in place.

Step 3: For A Show-Stopping Eye Makeup
Malaika is known for her noteworthy eye makeup looks and this one is no exception. It looks tricky but is actually very easy to emulate this eye makeup. All you have to do is apply an eye primer to prep the lids. Then, top it off with a cream concealer and blend. In contrast to the regular smoky eye, this eye makeup look involves smudging it out to form a cat-eye. So grab a light pink eyeshadow and use a precise brush to trace it as cat eyeliner. Don’t forget to apply it onto the lower lash line as well. Then, use a fluffy brush to smoke it out. Then, take a glittery pink eyeshadow and dap it all over your lids. Complete the look by lining your upper lash line using a kohl eyeliner. If you’re exacting, put on a brown contact lens to make your eyes the focal point.
Step 4: Slaying Lashes All Day
Curl your lashes and coat them with a volumizing mascara. To make them look extra fluttery like Malaika’s, you could also stick on a pair of falsies.
Step 5: To Flaunt That Model-Perfect Bone Structure!
Set the makeup on your forehead, around the chin and nose using a translucent powder to keep it from creasing. With a powder bronzer, warm up your complexion, focusing on the areas where the sun would naturally hit.
Step 6: For A Glow Everyone Will Spot From A Mile Away
To mimic Malaika’s unreal glow, apply a cream highlighter on cheeks and high points of the face, using your fingers to pat and press the product. Then, apply a rosy cream blush on the apple of your cheeks, blend it upwards towards the temple.
Step 7: Always Look On The Pink Side Of Life
Just prep your lips, grab a matte pink liner and lipstick duo. Focus the liner on the outer corner of your lips and fill it in with a nude pink lipstick.
