Sexy Smokey Eyes

Makeup is evolving every day, especially with respect to eye makeup. Whether you're going out for a date night or event, a smokey eye is sure to make you look sophisticated and classy.  It is blending of three to four colors of eyeshadow to create this sexy smokey effect.

STEP 3:

Add a lighter shade of shadow under the eyebrow until it meets the darker shade. Blend the two shades together.

STEP 4:

Line the inside of the bottom rim of eyes with a pencil, and slightly smudge.

Tip: Metallic colors are perfect for holidays and make eyes pop!

STEP 5:

Use a thick, black pencil and line the top eyelids to complete the smoky look.

STEP 6:

To accentuate the effect, apply 2 coats of mascara to eyelashes.

The most important tool for getting a smokey eye is appropriate makeup brushes. They should be clean, good quality and soft to blend colors effectively.
