Alternative to Benefits Smokin' Eyes

3 replies

Mojito · 18/12/2013 20:04

I had planned to buy a friend the Benefits Smokin' Eyes set for her Christmas present but have just found out that it is sold out eveywhere. I have it and love using it on a night out. The best thing about it is the step by step instructions on how to apply. Does anyone know of an alternative I can get by another premium brand? Something that will give a smokey look for eyes and that has instructions with it?

It doesn't have instructions, but MUA's Smokin Palette is gorgeous and just 6 quid and includes an eye pencil. Look in Superdrug or they have their own website.

Urban decay or cheaper option is Sleek from Superdrug absolutely brilliant

OK, if you really want premium with instructions in the event that it will take your friend more than 20 minutes to work out where her eyebrows and eyelids are, Too Faced sets come with instructions:

Too Faced Brow Envy

Palette of your choice by Too Faced
(that Joy to the Girls Palette looks pretty nice!)

A couple of them are a bit cheaper here:

At this website

Personally, I'd go for a mix:

Urban Decay Brow Box. It's really dinky and cool, but has no eyebrow finding instructions

and

This palette by MUA which comes with an eyeliner and is a dupe for UD's smoky look palette. It is as good quality as UD

You could do a smoky look with pretty much any palette with dark colours.
