Gallacrafts Theme 27: Smokey Shamey
On a pretty regular basis I think about None The Wiser (by @loftec) Mickey, in his little apron, standing in the back alley behind his diner gay panic smoking in the freezing cold (because who needs a coat in the dead of winter in Chicago when you're love sick and spiraling). I've been meaning to draw him for awhile, and because the universe knows how to make things happen, @gallacrafts went and declared Smokey Shamey as the theme this month as I was re-reading NTW for the umpteenth time. So here he is, smokey and freezing his ass off.

@gallacrafts and @galladrabbles aligned perfectly this week.
For my @gallacrafts for Theme 27 was Smokey Shamey, and originally I wanted to make a smudge or smoke bomb, but I couldn't find the supplies, then I thought, smoked MEATS which led to a charcuterie board!
So we have some smoked gouda, smoked turkey, smoked ham, smoked provolone, and other charcuterie items.
And for this week's @galladrabbles the prompt was from our amazing mods; @energievie and @look-i-love-u based on a beautiful artwork from @suzy-queued for our second anniversary!
“When did you have time for this?” Ian asked looking at the charcuterie board that Mickey had made and brought to the roof with the blanket and other picnickery things.
Mickey smirked, “Tami and I were wine drunk scrolling tiktok, she ended up on sourdough starter-tok and I ended on charcuterie-tok.”
“Are these, roses?” Ian asked, looking at the smoked ham and turkey.
“Meat flowers yes.” Mickey grabbed a slice of smoked gouda and popped it in his mouth.
Ian snorted, “Think that’s what I’m gonna start calling your-”
“Shut the fuck up and watch the sunset with me asshole.”
I hope @gallacrafts will indulge my curveball take on the Smokey Shamey theme, as I rock up with some: Smokey Eye Make Up Looks
DEBBIE
To me Debbie will always be the little girl who never got that princess party she dreamt of, hence a pink smokey cat-eye, finished with pink glitter highlights.
MANDY
I am leaning into Season 6 Mandy, with a classic black liquid liner cat-eye and a matt grey smokey eyeshadow. Understated and classy, while still being playful and sexy.
KEVIN
There is nothing more durable than a smokey eye in brown, blended out to skin colour - one of my favourite make ups for a rainy day at the farm, because it will still look pretty decent by the end. Solid and dependable, just like Kevin!
IAN
I’m normally a big fan of contrast colours, but if you’re a redhead with pretty green eyes then you lean into that green as hard as you can!! We’ve got two shades of green (light on the lid, dark in the crease), blended out into a shimmery gold, green eyeliner on the lower lid, and black eyeliner & mascara on the upper.
MICKEY
And finally we have the OG black kohl smokey eye - perfect for our little trash panda! You want your black eyeshadow to be highly pigmented, and don’t be afraid to get a bit messy with it. You’re a Milkovich, not a Chanel model! On top of the black eyeshadow we have some black glitter, for depth. And of course it wouldn’t be a Mickey look without some characterful brows and chewed pink lips!!
And then of course post Season 4 we get Mickey ‘I Just Want Everyone Here To Know I’m Fucking Gay’ Milkovich, the bravest little thug muffin on the South Side, deserving a special rainbow smokey eye look in his honour!
Some make up ramblings behind the cut, for anyone interested :)
I get most of my make up from the cheap counter at whatever pharmacy I'm in - teen brands are great for cheap yet decent quality items!
However I do have some preference in terms of performance for certain things.
I love my EcoTools make up brushes. You can pick up a pack of 5 brushes for a tenner, but if you can find the set of 2 double headed brushes - Eye Enhancing Duo Brush Set - you've got all you need for a smokey eye look in two handy brushes! I've been using mine for years with no bristle loss or decrease in quality. Very very happy with those!
Eyeshadow - I'm a slut for a MAC pallet. They're not all as good as each other, and occasionally you get an eyeshadow that barely leaves any pigment on your skin and it's infuriating! But 80% of their colours are great. And you can buy colours individually on their website / at a MAC make up counter, and then you can fit them into a non branded make up pallet you pick up at amazon or your local pharmacy for a couple of quid, allowing you to put together you're perfect personal pallet!
Barry M does little pots of loose pigment in ALL the colours of the rainbow, called Dazzle Dust, and they are amazing!! Please do take a few days of experimenting if you are not used to working with loose pigment, as it can get MESSY lol A good trick is to go heavy on powder foundation under your eye prior to starting your eye make up, so any loose pigment catches on a layer of powder that you can then just brush off with a big powder brush.
I also have little pots of glitter (purchased from a craft store) in all the colours of the rainbow and a small bottle of stage make up adhesive. You will find there's a million different glitter adhesive gels and fix it sprays, some of them may be amazing, however many of them are going to work the exact same way as a simple application of some vaseline would. Depending on the effect I want I either use a small paint brush to very precisely apply glue and glitter pieces (glitter eyeliner, cut brows with glitter lines, individual glitter dots), or alternatively I use a lip gloss or similar sticky clear substance and sprinkle the glitter (for glitter blush, glitter temples etc.)
I have bought many a mascara promising many a thing (longer, thicker, fuller, rounder, magic in some way or other) and honestly, I have never been able to tell the difference between their performances. As long as it doesn't clump and go tacky after a week of use, it's fine by me.
For eyeliners - I have a few choice colours in MAC, but for the essentials I love essence cosmetics, which are one of the teen brands I mentioned above. Their liquid liner pens (24ever ink liner for example) are some of the best I've ever used, and they're like £2.50 each. Otherwise, I like eye pencils you can sharpen for the exact precision I desire, not the waxy sticks inside a plastic case that you operate like a mechanical pencil. Those are a big no no.
Okay, that's all I can think of on the fly.
Please add your favourite make up brands and tips and tricks in the comments! I love to learn from other people!
Charcoal is the perfect medium for this months @gallacrafts!
Smokes out on the Gallagher steps are so much more than just a smoke break. If these steps could talk, all the heart break, the love the scheming, the confessions, the dreams, the let downs, quite celebrations, the fights, and so much more.
How do you interpret these smoke signals for our favorite characters?
