How to Get a Smoky Eye Look

Smoky eyes give an attractive look to the eyes. It can be achieved by following methods:

Use a highlighter pencil right under the eyebrow, with a wider sweep, near the end, right on the bone. Blend, emphasizing the natural curves of your eye. Use silver eye shadow on the lid and the inner corner and a deeper grey on the socket crease, outer corner and near the lashes.

Tips on Smoky Eye Look

Apply your foundation, under eye concealer and powder.

Eyeliner Tips for Smoky Eyes: Using your black eyeliner pencil, start from the front corner of your eyelid. Draw a soft smudge line to the end of your lash line.

Apply the eyeliner on about 3/4 or 1/2 of the lower eyelid. If you apply it on the whole eye, your eyes may look smaller. With a brush or a sponge, you can lightly diffuse the eyeliner to create a more smoky eyes look and more natural effect.

Gather your colors. You’ll need three shades that go from light to dark, but they do not have to be shades of gray or black—you can achieve this effect with purple, blue, green or just about any other color you choose.

Apply the highlight color to the brow bone and upper part of your lid.

Add a middle toned color from your lashes to your crease, and blend it in with your light tone where the two colors meet.

Curve your lashes. Be careful not to pull the skin, but keep the curler pressed for an instant and repeat three times in each eye.

Apply the darker shadow on the eyelid (just to cover the eye ball). If using three colors, apply the darker shade on the outer half of the eyelid and the eye crease.

ACHIEVE A BETTER FINISH

If we use a fixing agent –there are several brands of these on the market for eyeshadow and lips which can do the trick very well; once the product is on, we start to get rid of eye bags and imperfections with the corrector, and we blend the product in well.
