the irresistible smoky eyes, go through this article. We have listed the makeup
tips to help you get perfect smokey eyes.
How To Get Smoky Eyes
* Apply a light shaded concealer to the under eye area as well as over your
eyelid. This will create a smooth base for the eye liner and eye shadow that you
will be applying afterwards.
* Trace the upper lash line, from inner corner to the outer, using an eye
pencil. Line the bottom rim of the eye as well.
* If you want black, brown or gray smokey eyes, go for an eye pencil in one of
the above colors. Violet colored eye liner pencil creates a stunning jewel-toned
smoky eye. You may also opt for deep green or blue eye liner pencil.
* To soften the look, smudge both the lash lines with a cotton swab or an
eyeliner brush.
* Choose an eye shadow - a powder or a creamy one, in a shade lighter than that
of the eye pencil. To create the base color, apply a light eye shadow, from the
lids to your brow bone, in sweeping strokes.
* Now it is the time to get the smoky effect. Choose an eye shadow of the same
shade as the eye pencil and blend it with the lighter one that you have just
applied. Using an eye shadow brush, sweep the color into the upper and lower
lash lines.
* Curl up the eye lashes using a curler and then apply two coats of mascara, to
give the final touch to your smokey eyes. |
