Everyone loves smokey eyes. It looks sexy and classy. Many of us fear making smokey eyes as they think it's too hard to create smokey eyes look.
The first step to a perfect smoky eye is to make sure you're priming the lids and you can use eyeshadow primer or concealer but we want to make sure you're completely covering the lid on the lash line up to the brows to create a blank canvas.
This is to disguise any discolouration that we might naturally have on our lids and also get you should also need to hold on to, you want to leave your eyeshadow primer or concealer, just a little sticky.
This will hold off the eyeshadow perfectly. However, you should use little tricks to make sure you get a good blend.
With any eye makeup look, the main areas of the eye would be the crease area and the crease areas were important in the smoky eye.
If you think of what smoke is, it's that deep dark colour that then feeds into nothing, and the crease area is where that fading into nothing happens.
Crease areas are basically where the leg creases, into the eye shape, but it stops just underneath the brow bone. And of course, you have the lead as well.
The first smoky eye divides the lid into an upper and a lower part. As far as eye shadows go with a little smoky palette, and you want to adapt this to work with your skin.
So the first shade is what light to as the base shapes. This is very similar to your skin tone a little lighter. You then have our contour shade.
These shades should be darker than your skin tone. And then you have to start with your mid-tone and your mid-tone is probably the most important.
A lot of people refer to this as the transition shade system we're in between the base and the contour. That's why I call it a mid-tone because it's a middle tone. And then we have your smoky shadows.
So your smoky shade is whatever type of smoke here that you want to create. You can go with to create a black one.
Tips
1. Stay smudged free with a primer
A small amount of primer goes long way on your eyelids. Eyelid primer is a little tricky to wear. Put primer to stay the eyeshadow and make sure it doesn't smear.
2. Use a bit of brown
To the most attractive smokey eye browns goes good on eyelids. If your doing black smokey eyes then you should mix the brown eye shadow too. Blend it.
3. Play with colours
Smokey eyes should not be always black. You can go with many other colours like deep plum, maroon and many more!
4. Stay close to lashes
You should be careful how down you take your eye makeup down. Colours should not be extended towards your lower lashes.
5. Blur your lines
You should carefully blend your eyes lines to get an attractive and attentive look. Blend all the colours to see the beautiful smokey eyes on both eyes.
6. Consider placement
Keep your eye shadow under the iris and in outer corners. You don't want your eyeshadow to go into your eyes.
7. Clean up
Apply all the eye makeup and then clean it up around your eyes. You can use makeup remover to remove the excess eyeshadow around your eyes. Bright your eyebrows to look more attractive.
