New Tutorial: Payne's Grey

Feb 20, 2013 at 8:00am by Michelle Phan

Hi everyone,

This tutorial was inspired by one of my favorite painting colors, Payne’s Grey. It’s a dark blue-grey color that is used to create shadows. Sounds perfect for a sexy, smoldering eye, right? I thought so too. Check out my tutorial to find out how to create your own Payne’s Grey smoky eye:

 

Payne’s Grey is such a beautiful color. Here are some other ways to wear the color:

  • Sweater
  • Earrings
  • Nail Polish
  • Bracelet
  • Clutch

 

What do you think of Payne’s Grey? Let me know if you would (or do) wear the color in the comments section!

      Do you like the smokey eye look? Or do you prefer more understated eye makeup?

        I like bright looks, interesting looks that are different. Things people notice and go, "Oh! Your makeup is beautiful."

        Grey contact lenses worked amazingly with your Payne's. Where did you get the contacts? They look very natural :) Thank you for sharing your beauty secrets to the whole world wide web <3

      mmmm loving all the black. I used to wear too much black, been trying to reduce it for maybe about a year now. I guess I am somewhat missing black again =P

        First of all, any man that leaves his son is not a man. So in the long run it sounds like you may be better off.

        You are relly pretty anyway so I'm sure you'll get snatched up by someone lovely. :)

        As for the 'look what your missing' look, just wear something that makes you feel good, because if you feel comfortable and sexy in the clothes you're in, people will feel that you're confident. Smokey ayes are lovely for anytime, maybe put it with a baby pink lip tint or gloss (not bright pink) Dark and subtle go well together. :)

        Good Luck Sophia! xx

      I do like that color, though I don't own it. I'll have to try the smokey eye some time!

      I recreated this look with my Lorac palette & it came out pretty spot on! I saw in the description box, you mixed black, slate & deep purple to get the paynes grey. So that's what I did also. Came out beautiful. I got lots of compliments. I also wore my Tsubasa Masuwaka Geo Mimi Sesame Grey circle lens with this look. Complimented it very well. Thank you for the inspiration. I wish I took pics & posted it on your twitter.

      I would love to wear it but it's kind of intense. My mother hates to see me wearing dark colors on my eyes, even eyeliner sometimes its a probleem for her. But as soon as I can, I would do it and try to escape without her looking at me... LOL.
