Smokey Eye Makeup Tutorial For Beginners

Eye makeup makes your eyes look chic and elegant. There are many styles of eye makeup of which Smokey eye makeup is arguably the trendiest one whose popularity never ends. Creation of Smokey eyes is a bit tricky but once you know the exact way of its application, you will find it easiest to apply.



1. Put on a thin coating of foundation over your lids and then apply a little amount of translucent face powder over them. Both these products will help retaining the eye makeup for long time as well as in creating flawless makeup.

2.Now apply eyeliner along the top lashes as close to the lash line as possible. If you have small eyes then shun your eyes’ inner corners as it serves to effectively impart a shrunken effect to the eyes.
After applying eyeliner, slightly smear the lines, using makeup sponge or cotton tip, to render a softer and milder appearance to them.

3.When it comes to the application of eye shadow, begin with a light-colored base shade such as gold, beige, gray or cream. While choosing the base shade, make sure that it complements your natural skin tone perfectly.

4.Next step is the application of dark shade to your eyes. Dab the applicator into a darker-shaded eye shadow and contour your eyes. Put it on the line you had drawn with eyeliner to make it thicker and more prominent. Black, dark-gray, dark-purple or other dark colors are best choice for the creation of a Smokey effect.

5.Now close your eyes and apply the dark-colored eye shadow to their pleats from inner corner to the outer corner. Blend the eye shadow thoroughly to impart a natural look to eyes.

6.Give finishing touch to eye makeup by applying a thick mascara coating to your top and bottom lashes. Remove any clusters from the lashes with the tip of mascara wand.
