Creating a Bold and BeautifulSmoky Eye: Step-by-Step

If you’re not sure how to create a smoky eye, don’t worry. In this article, I’m going to walk you through the steps I use when creating my own smoky eyes.

Start with a clean base.

• Apply primer to eyelids and under eye area.
• Use concealer to hide any blemishes or redness.
• Use foundation to even out skin tone and create a smooth base for your makeup application, if desired.
• Dust powder over the face to set it all in place, making sure not to cake up with too much powder!

Define your upper lash line.

Now that you have a base of shadow on your lids, it’s time to define the upper lash line. You can use a pencil brush or small brush to apply the shadow and blend out any harsh edges. For a more dramatic look, choose a deeper shade of shadow than what is already on your lids (I used black). If you don’t have one available, use an eyeliner pencil instead!

Add a darker shade to your crease and extend it towards the outer corner of your eye.

To create this look, you will first want to use a brush and get it nice and wet. Next, dip the brush into the darker shade of eyeshadow and begin applying it on your crease.

• Make sure that you blend out any harsh lines between colors so that there aren’t any noticeable streaks or lines when looking at yourself in the mirror.
• The crease is the area between your inner corner of your eye and eyebrow; if you aren’t sure where yours is yet (it may take some practice), look closely at yourself in natural light while lifting up one side of each lid with one hand while keeping them closed with another hand behind them–you’ll see where there’s space between those two areas!

Blend everything together with a blending brush, making sure that there are no harsh lines left behind.

To blend everything together, use a blending brush to create a seamless transition between your eye shadow and eyelid. If you don’t have an eyeshadow brush, use a clean mascara wand instead!

Add mascara and false lashes (optional).

If you want to take your smoky eye look to the next level, consider adding false lashes. They are an easy way to enhance your eyes without having to do much makeup at all. Apply glue evenly along the band of each lash and wait until it dries completely before applying them onto your own lashes with tweezers or another tool. If you apply them incorrectly, they can fall off throughout the day so be careful!

If using false lashes isn’t something that interests you, don’t worry–there are still plenty of ways for any woman who wants bold eyes without ever having applied fake eyelashes in her life before! For example: mascara! Mascara is a great way for women who don’t like wearing makeup (or just aren’t comfortable) because it’s simple enough yet still gives great results if done right!

Here’s how to achieve that smoky eye look!

Step 1:

Make sure you have a clean base, and use an eyeshadow brush to apply the lightest shade from your palette all over the eyelid. If you’re using a matte shade, pat it on with your fingers for more intensity. For shimmery or glittery shades, tap them onto your lids with one finger at a time so they stay in place better than if they were applied with an applicator or brush (which can cause fall-out).

Step 2:

Use a smaller brush (like an angled eyeliner brush) to define your upper lash line by applying black liner along this area–it should extend past where the lashes start but not touch them! You can also add some highlighter here if desired; just make sure that whatever product used here is applied before step 3 so it doesn’t get covered up by smoky shadow later on down this process’ road map!
