Hi everyone, welcome to my blog! Today I’m going to show you how to create a smokey eye look using some simple products and techniques. A smokey eye is a classic makeup look that can make your eyes pop and add some drama to your face. It’s perfect for a night out, a special occasion, or whenever you feel like rocking a sultry eye.
Here are the steps to create a smokey eye look:
1. Prep your eyelids with a primer, concealer, or foundation. This will help your eyeshadow last longer and look more vibrant. You can also apply some powder to set your base and prevent creasing.
2. Choose two or three eyeshadow colors that will accentuate your eye color. A typical smokey eye uses a light shade for the lid, a dark shade for the crease, and a highlight shade for the brow bone. You can use any colors you like, but some suggestions are:
– For blue eyes: coral and champagne
– For brown eyes: salmon and bronzy gold
– For green eyes: purple and brown
– For grey eyes: grey, blue, and silver
– For hazel eyes: metallics and pastels
3. Apply the lightest eyeshadow color all over your lid with a flat brush or your finger. Blend it well up to your crease and slightly beyond it.
4. Apply the darkest eyeshadow color along your upper lash line with an angled brush or a pencil liner. You can use black, brown, grey, or any other dark color you like. Extend the line slightly past the outer corner of your eye for a winged effect.
5. Blend the dark eyeshadow color into your crease with a fluffy brush or your finger. Use circular motions to create a soft gradient and avoid harsh lines. You can also apply some of the dark color along your lower lash line and blend it with a small brush or a cotton swab.
6. Apply the highlight eyeshadow color on your brow bone and inner corner of your eye with a small brush or your finger. This will add some brightness and contrast to your smokey eye.
7. Finish off your smokey eye look with some mascara on your top and bottom lashes. You can also curl your lashes before applying mascara for more lift and volume. If you want to add more definition to your eyes, you can also apply some eyeliner on your waterline or tightline.
And that’s it! You have created a beautiful smokey eye look that will make you stand out from the crowd. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it helpful. Let me know in the comments what colors you used for your smokey eye and how it turned out. Thanks for reading and see you next time!
