Make a collection of your eyeshadow palette, brushes, eyeliner, and mascara. Having everything prepared will help the process go more smoothly.
Apply an eyeshadow primer to create a smooth base and extend the life of your eyeshadow.
As a base, apply a neutral hue to your entire eyelid, from lash line to brow bone.
Blend a darker eyeshadow into the crease from the outer corner of your eyelid.
For a classic smokey effect, blend a charcoal or black eyeshadow near to your lash line and gently diffuse it upwards.
To make your eyes stand out, apply a light, sparkly makeup to the inner corners of your eyes.
Line your top lash line with eyeliner, reaching as near to the roots as possible. You can also line your lower lash line for added drama.
Before applying mascara, curl your lashes with an eyelash curler to give them a dramatic curl.
Apply mascara to your lashes to add volume and length, framing your smokey eyes attractively.
Concealer should be used to clean up any eyeshadow fallout, and foundation and concealer should be touched up for a perfect complexion.
To enhance your features, apply a light blush to your cheekbones and a delicate contour.
Keep the attention on your captivating smokey eyes by wearing a neutral lip color.
