Tanya Burr/pixi2woo inspired 'Rock chick' smokey eye

I know the 'Rock chick' smokey eye is nothing new, but I feel I have been neglecting a simple black smokey eye recently for more interesting colours. So when I saw Tanya Burrs latest video, it reminded me how much I used to love a black smokey eye and how effective it can be.
I would say that this is a simple look but I actually put quite a bit of time into the eye, applying a base, layering eyeshadow and blending, to make sure it wouldnt crease. (on the night out it did-but thats inevitable with a black smokey eye, and you might even like it that way!)

Of course you can do this look with any colours, Tanya Burr used a matte black and I actually used a very deep shimmery plum with black.
Enough rambling, heres the look:

Flash on- looking ghosty!

One thing I will say about a black smokey eye is that it can be a little harsh depending on where you're going..I wouldn't wear it in the daytime or to a family party or something, but for a night out in Camden with my friends it was perfect.

Face: Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer-1 fair, Mac studio sculpt foundation-NC15, Maybelline dream matte powder-rose ivory, Bourjois delice de soleil bronzer-12 light/medium, Mac MSF-soft and gentle

Lips: you might notice that the lip in the first picture is different from the other pictures, this is because I was experimenting before I went out but I actually settled on the lip in the first picture.
