Smoky eyes can be applied with a light touch to be worn in the AM or darkened for the evening. Any colour can be incorporated into a Smoky Eye, what makes the look is the deeply hued Eye Shadow or eye liner that surrounds both upper and lower lash lines.

Application

Step 1:

Choose your brushes-a dense tapered brush that holds product well to apply the shadow.

Step 2:

Choose your colour-Using a deep, rich colour will allow you to produce the desired effect.

Step 3:

Load up your brush and tap off the excess-this will help to prevent the eye shadow from sprinkling underneath the eye area-use a gentle patting motion and apply to a small area at a time (this look is always about baby steps...remember, you can always add more!) along the upper and lower lids from the lash line out -this will aid desired symmetry.

Step 4:

Once satisfied with your symmetry, it's time to blend using a soft, fluffy brush and start blending from the outer eye in. Again, be sure to check your symmetry as you go.

Step 5:

Add your final touches ie, liner on inner rim or atop the lash line and/or a shadow that adds either a complimentary accent to your outfit, or a flattering sheen to the lids.

Step 6:

Finish with mascara and/or lashes

A Tip To Remember:

To minimize your chances for error, taking baby steps is key; beginning with a small amount of product and applying a little at a time. You can always add more!
