Hi!
Today I have decided to show you how to make an
extremely simple smokey eye that takes no more than five minutes!
I started by appllying a cream eyeshadow. These
eyeshadows are very easy to use and they don’t need to be appllied with a lot
of precision. Mine is by the brand Oriflame, but it is a few years old. However,
Maybelline has the line Color Tattoo that are pretty much the same.
After applying the eyeshadow is necessary to blend it
out in order to avoid harsh lines. To do that, I used the key element in a
smokey eye which is a blending brush(the brushes I use in this tutorial are a
few years old, but you can find amazing brushes in stores like Sephora).
I blended the product in back and forward motions for
a few seconds. I also added some of the eyeshadow near my bottom lashes.
You can leave it like this if you wish, but I decided to
add a little bit of black. I applied a black pencil by Bourjois called Khôl
& Contour in the colour Ultra Black near my upper lash line. I wasn’t
precise with it because I blended it out with a brush upwards to create a
subtle transition from black to brown. I also added the black pencil on my
waterline.
In the end I used a volumizing mascara on my up top
and bottom lashes.
It is a very easy smokey eye that anybody can
recreate! You can change any of the products or colors by the ones you have or
prefer.
You can send us photos by twitter or facebook with
your recreation on the look, we would love to see them!
