Most Popular Smoky Eye Photos

Most people consider eye shadow the cornerstone of the smokey eye look. First, you want to apply a light color on the inner corners and brow bone that will act as a highlighting agent for your smokey eye. 1. Apply a shading powder about two or three tones darker than your natural skin colour over your whole lid and smudge a little over your lower lash line.

Simply take a grain of rice-size amount of primer with your pointer or ring finger and smooth the product across the eyelid area, from the lash line all the way up to the brow bone. If you are more inclined towards a subtle, elegant appearance for the day, the Simple Smokey Eyes are perhaps, all you need.

You can apply metallic eyeshadow over your entire eyelid for a real head turning look. Take your medium shade of eyeshadow and start from halfway up your eyelid, sweeping towards your crease. As the brush is squared off it helps give precision on the outer corners and perfectly angles your cupid's bow.

Step 3: Pack on gold eyeshadow once the black has been blended. In fact, a good grown-up smokey eye focuses on browns and bronzy colours that look neutral and flattering. By using nude or natural color lipstick will make your morphe brushes eyes truly pop up. Use light-colored lip liner and natural-colored lipstick such as peach, very light pink or caramel if you don't like the nude.

Dip the brush in the black liner and create your tail at the outer corner of your eye. Longer bristled brushes are softer and less precise which makes them great for blending and applying a wash of color. Line the upper and lower lash lines with a pencil or liquid eyeliner.

What you really want to avoid is applying a dark shadow all over the eyelid as this could accentuate the lid and make it appear heavier. One of my most favorites at all times is the smokey eyes. To ensure you don't ruin your base with eyeshadow fall out, we recommend starting with your eyes before applying foundation and concealer.
