The famous Smokey Eye as been around for a while and I believe it will never go out of style. This look is perfect for a night out with the girls or dinner dates with that special someone. While there are a couple of different ways to do this, I am going to walk you through the simplest steps to create a classic black sultry eye.
Here’s what you’ll need
- Natural color eye shadow primer (with this look you don’t want creasing)
- Three eye shadows. One for the lid (black); one as a blending, transition color (brown); and one for the inner corners of the eye and brow bone (a light shade)
- A flat eye shadow brush and a blending brush
- Black eyeliner
- Mascara
- Prime your lid and bottom lash line with the natural color eye shadow primer. Blend from lash line up to the brow and bottom lash line with your finger.
- Then place the highlight color on the brow bone with your finger.
- Take the black eye shadow on the flat eye shadow brush and pat all over the lid, not going pass the crease.
- Next, take the blending brush with no eye shadow on it, and blend out the line where the black eye shadow ends.
- Take the same blending brush, but with the brown shadow, and blend where the black starts to fade.
- Line your water line with the black eyeliner. Apply it a little heavy so that you can smudge it out with your finger or the flat eye shadow brush.
- Optional: take a highlighting shade and apply it to the inner tear duct.
- Add mascara.
You’re done!
