The Classic Smokey Eye



smokey eyes

 


 

There's nothing like a good ol' smokey eye. When blended properly and flawless skin is involved, the smokey eye can look great on any skin tone. 


To get this look all you'll need is:


-Some type of dark creamy base like an eyeliner or cream shadow


-Two shadows. One black and one brown

-False lashes or a really good mascara

-Medium to full coverage foundation

- A blending brush and flat shader brush

 

Step 1: You'll want to start with the eyes first for this look to avoid fallout. Apply the dark creamy base on lids and a little in the crease.

Step 2: Next apply a black eyeshadow to lid with the flat shader brush.

Step 3: Using a blending brush blend out any harsh lines.

Step 4: Using the same blending brush, apply a brown shadow to the outer portion of the crease.

Step 5: Then repeat everything on the botton lashline.

Step 6:  Apply a couple of coats of mascara or even better some good ol falses.

Step 7: Lastly, wipe away any fallout and apply your foundation, concealer, brows, cheek color and all that jazz....and your done!

 

The most important part about a smokey eye is to blend, blend, blend!
