We have all seen the sultry smokey eye make up but there are a few Do’s and Do’s not when doing smokey eye makeup, and they are not all is obvious as you would think.
Why you should use a primer - eyeshadow primers help absorb any excess oils on the eyelid. which is especially important for achieving a good smokey eye look, as it will keep your eye makeup looking gorgeous for hours and hours. Primers also help the eyeshadows go on smoothly without creasing, which is important if you’re going for more classic smokey eyes using dark colors. The more your shadow creases, the more unfinished your eye makeup will look.
Don’t over do the eyeliner - The key to a flawless eyeliner look is to make sure it blends properly for a seamless finish. If you use too much eyeliner you’ll look more like a raccoon, rather than classy and seductive. Once you’ve applied your liner underneath the eyes (use a water-resistant or gel liner pencil ) you can use an eyeshadow in the same colour if you’re going for the classic look, or a contrasting colour and blend along the liner. The shadow will also create a barrier to catch any liner that bleeds.
Don’t forget to blend -When it comes to eye makeup, you can’t forget to blend, blend, blend! Without it you won’t achieve the results you want and your eyes will look messy and unfinished. The more you blend, the more flawless your eye makeup will look That is the case with all eyeshadow but is even more important when do a smokey eye look.
Colours of the rainbow - When creating your smokey eye look, make sure to choose colours that work together. For example, a neutral colour on the lid like a taupe, soft grey, or even a peach tone depending on your complexion, a slightly darker color in the crease like an ash brown, espresso, gunmetal, or plum for and a light champagne tone for your browbone work well together. For a darker complexion you would choose a warmer base shade to highlight the browbone. You can also use a lighter shade on the eyelid which is another smokey eye look that looks great too. The key is to know which colours work best for your skin tone and eye colour. If you are unsure what colours match use a colour wheel.
