Tips to achieve the perfect smokey eye look:

and puffiness under the eyes, because their existence can ruin a smokey makeup. - Use appropriate makeup brushes such as blending, eyeliner and angled makeup brushes.
- Prepare the ground by applying concealer, makeup, powder and eye shadow primer.
This way the makeup lasts longer and you will have a perfect result in general. - In case you don’t have a base product, use a bright beige nude eye shadow, preferably in a creamy texture.
After the eye base, it’s time to apply the shadows you’ve chosen.
But make sure that the colours match each other and create a harmonious picture.- Do not neglect to blend the eye shadows very well, so that there is a gentle transition between the colours.
- Avoid a strong eyeliner line and the application of dark eyeshadow in the inner corner of the eye,
because it makes the look heavy and tired. - In order to perfect the smokey eye look make a thin line with eye shadow on the lower lash line
and accentuate the bottom of the brow with a matte light shade.
The smokey eyes look is not only possible with black.
Many girls even today think that this makeup is only done with black or that it is too heavy.
First of all, let us say that this impression is a mistake.
Smokey is the technique and not the colour, which is exactly why we can achieve it with any colour we want.
and with quite bright colours.
Even though it’s used to be the sexiest makeup, like cat eye makeup, both can easily be transformed into daytime makeup.
How do we do this?
Work with natural colours:
You can create amazing smoky eyes with the softest colours in your palette.
Replace black and grey with ivory or bronze.
Don’t forget that the most important part of a smokey eye makeup is the eyeliner and the correct lashes.
Use thicker colours:
Instead of putting several shades of color, use only one color in not too dark,
nor too light a shade, for a more casual, clean look.
Try the brown color if you have blue or green eyes and walnut color if you have brown eyes.
Finally, don’t forget, no matter when and how you prefer smoky eye makeup,
the rest of the face should be too natural.
Your lips should be painted with a lipgloss that only gives shine or a very soft one,
close to the color of your lips, lipstick.
The cheeks are also painted with blush to give a natural glow.
Kind reminder! With smokey eye makeup, all eyes are on your eyes.
