This is a look I tried sometimes back, nothing extraordinary of course, but I do like it as it's very easy to achieve & looks neat. I do not use a variety of products at present
as I am going through a serious financial crunch & I can't afford much. So, the good thing about this look is that it can be achieved very easily. All you need is to even out your face. Though I must admit I have done up my face in a very unconventional way (read bronzer in places where you normally won't put them). So that's how I achieved the air brush finish on my face. I just wanted to see the effect it creates in photographs. Pardon the not so clear picture, my room has horrible lighting. I would try to upload better quality pictures in the future.
I prefer this eye makeup as it makes my deep set eyes look less obvious. Cutting the crease becomes necessary when you have deep set eyes like mine. When you have eyes that are a little inside the socket, wearing dark eye shadow (on the lids) or thick eye liner becomes extremely difficult because it makes the eyes appear even more deep set. So it becomes necessary to keep the color on the eye lids as light as possible & preferable shimmery or metallic (not that you can't wear matte, I am in fact wearing a matte eye shadow here), so that it pops out a bit & then cut crease with a dark matte eye shadow to help further highlight the eye lids. Hope you like this eye makeup & please let me know what you think of this look. Would be really happy to hear from you. Your support would mean a lot to me as I am new to blogging.

Products used & tips to achieve this look:

Base: Lakme Perfect Radience Skin Lightning Foundation 05 (about a drop highly diluted with water & then applied with finger tips all over almost using it like a primer, used over the eye lids & lips too). Over it used MAC Studio Fix Foundation NC 45 (used with power brush from MAC 116).
Bronzer: Loreal Minerals 04 Nude Crystal ( used on the middle of the forehead, under the eyes, on the apple of the chicks, on the corner of the eyes, top of the nose & chin, but not at all recommended to use bronzer in any of those places & in such quantity! Used with the brush provided except on the corner of the eyes. Used q tip to apply on the corner of the eyes).
Lip Color: Loreal Color Riche 280 topped with MAC Plushglass in Ample Pink. 
Eye Shadows: MAC Soft Brown Matte (on the lids used with a eye shadow brush by Inglot 28PO) 
                      MAC Carbon (used to cut crease right under the socket with an eye shadow brush by Inglot 13P/S. Blended with a eye shadow brush by Inglot 13P, but recommended to use a blending brush).
Black Liquid Liner: Lakme Absolute Shine Line (very thin line on the upper lash line & extended up & out)
Black Pencil Liner: Avon Extralasting Kajal (used as a thick line below the waterline)
Eyebrows: Defined with MAC Carbon (with the leftover color in the Inglot 13P brush lol!)
