Smoky eyes give an attractive look to the eyes. Smoky eye makeup has been fashionable for a long time.

Smoky Eye Makeup Tips:

Always start your smokey eyes or any eye makeup by applying foundation first. This helps prevent the racoon effect.

The key to the perfect smoky eye is proper blending. You want to make sure colors are blended together flawlessly. Also, it's important to pair light base colors with rich dark colors; soft gold base with deep purple on top, champagne base with bright blue and peach base with green hue.




The real secret to the smoky look is in the color eyeshadow you use. Use powdery eye shadows. Do not use creamy texture eye shadows as they are more difficult to smudge and blend.

Remember when choosing eye shadow shades that colors should be chosen keeping in mind your eye color, hair color and skin tone and not the color of the clothes you wear. For smokey eye makeup you will need to choose two color coordinated eye shadows. A darker feature color and a lighter supporting color.

Apply eyeliner with short strokes, starting form the center of the eye and working towards the corners.

For more sparkle add a silver shadow to the inner corners of your eyes.

Complete your foundation being careful not to mess up your beautiful smokey eyes. Remember to keep lips nude. When applying strong makeup (like smoky eyes or red lips) put the focus on either eyes or lips, never both.
