Smokey Eye

Step by Step "Smokey Eye"

It’s sexy and smoldery! What’s not to like about it? Here are your step by step instructions:


Line your upper and lower lash line (right into the roots of the lashes) with a dark liner (black, dark brown or a dark plum) then smudge it with an angle brush (or q-tip) to soften the line

*If you have large eyes, line the inner rim (water wells) with black for an extra sultry look

Apply matching dark eye shadow from your lash line up to the crease, and sweep under the lower lash line to soften the pencil.

Now use a softer color in the same color family like a burgundy brown or eggplant and sweep into the crease.

Add another sweep of shimmery highlighter under the arch of your brow and to the inner corners by the tear duct.

Blend, Blend, Blend!! So the color graduates and does not stop and start but also so you have the darkest color at your lash line and it should graduate to the lightest color at the brow bone.

Apply mascara on the top and bottom lashes (I would recommend false eyelashes for this look)

Last but not least apply your favorite lip color and you have accomplished “The Smokey Eye”
