A smokey eye is easy to achieve. It’s classic look that can suit just about anyone! You could use neutrals but don’t shy away from bolder, more intense shades.
Here are a few tips to help you along the way!
- Apply your eyes first then your foundation, this way you won’t have to worry about fall out. Just clean up with a makeup remover and move on to the rest of your face.
- Depending on your shade of eyeshadow, use a matching primer. (ie if your eyeshadow is a charcoal grey or black, use a primer like MAC Paint Pot in Blackground) This will not only give your eyeshadow something to stick to but also make the look longer lasting.
- Using a flat brush, pat the shadow onto your lid then blend the edges with a fluffy brush. I like to use a transition color in the crease.
- If you are using more than one eyeshadow, start from the outsides of your lid working your way in. Use sweeping motions to blend with a fluffy brush
