You don’t need to have certain branded eye shadows to create the perfect smokey eye, you can simply use the ones you have in your makeup bag.
Step 1)
Chose a light and a dark shade out of your eye shadows. Use more warm colours for sophistication, or use darker colours for a more edgier look.
Step 2)
Use the light shade as a base, applying over the full lid, up to the brow.
Step 3
Take the darker shade along the upper lash line, blending into the crease and sweep up, and out to emphasise the smokiness of the eye.
Step 4
With the lighter colour again, or a different lighter shade, highlight the inner corner of the eye, blending in well.
Step 5
If you have any, then use a shimmering eyeshadow dust, apply over the lid and flick outwards, emphasising the outer corner of the eye.
Step 6
Add drama with a bit of eye liner. Applying to the inner part of the eye will create more of an edgier look. Apply 2 coats of mascara.
