Smokey Eyes Makeup


Tips For Smokey Eyes Makeup

Smokey eyes makeup have been in fashion from quite a while and it seems like that it will stay in fashion for a long time. The whole process of getting Smokey eyes takes 5-10 minutes. The advice for getting perfect Smokey eyes in the proper and perfect blending of colors. While blending the colors make sure that you are pairing light color for base with rich dark color. The recommended blend are soft gold base with deep purple on top, champagne base with bright blue and peach base with green hue. Cosmetics that you will need for makeup is eye primer, which is optional but it’s good to keep the eye shadow in place, two shadows one light shade for base and other darker color, eyeliner,makeup brushes and mascara. Now there are seven steps for the perfect Smokey hot eyes.
  1. Prep the lid: apply an eye shadow that is also known as primer. Primer helps in keeping the eye shadows for long time and prevent from melting. Just swipe the primer across the eyes and wait until it gets dry.
  2. Apply eyeliner: If you want typical black, brown or gray Smokey eyes, apply the liner in one of the above mentioned colors on the upper lash line, draw the line thick in the middle of eyes, if you want to make your eyes more attractive and wants to have young fun look then go for violet, purple, blue or deep green liner.
  3. Mix color on bottom lashes: Use an eyeliner pencil on bottom lash as they are easy to smudge. Draw the line then run your finger over the line to blotch it. Apply a bit of shadow over it to get full smudge look.
  4. Apply light base color: it is very important to pair up dark color with light base color in order to get perfect Smokey eyes. I’ll suggest a nice cream shade for base. Brush a light, shimmery shadow on the lid to brow bone. Go for a moist mousse, it will give the consistency to the texture. Taupe and pearl are the good shades to go for.
  5. Blend the darker color: after applying the base and eyeliner, it’s time to give a Smokey look to your eyes. Take an eye shadow brush and brush it with the darker shade and start brushing it from your lash line and keep mixing it. Blend the color into the lash line until the eyeliner disappears. Stop deep color when you reach to crease. The successful tip for Smokey effect is to blend, blend and blend.
  6. Double check your performance: Make sure that eye matches with the blended color.
  7. It’s time for final touch: apply multiple coats of mascara to get the dark and thick eye lashes.
With the darker and Smokey eyes, always keep your lips nude. Always focus on one thing that is either eyes or lips. It is not necessary that you use pencil as a liner, you can also use an eyeliner brush, just wet it, then dab the soaked brush into the dark shadow. This will give the precise line. You can also use dark shadows without soaking the brush first. But for a perfect Smokey lookeyeliner is essential. Try to avoid old boring Smokey eyes colors especially black and dark brown, go for adeep purple, gold brown or any other vibrant and bright color.
So girls! follow these simple steps and get the dramatic smokey eyes. ;)
