The Smokey Eye Makeup look is one of the most classic and timeless beauty in beauty history. You can rock a smokey eye makeup look anywhere from a night out to a wedding. No matter your outfit, the smokey eye makeup looks will surely compliment your outfit. If done subtly, it can be worn to work. The smokey eye makeup looks best with a nude lip, but if you opt for bold, you can pair it with bold red lips.

So here are some hacks to create the perfect smokey eye makeup look.

• Concealer:

Start with a smooth canvas. Applying a high coverage concealer or an eyeshadow primer before applying any eye makeup helps prevent any creasing but also helps create the perfect base ensuring an easy and smooth application.

• Choose Your Eye Shadow Shades:

A classic smokey eye makeup look requires three eye shadow shades:

1. A darker colour for your crease
2. A mid-tone colour for your mobile lid
3. A highlight colour.

While the classic Smokey Eye Makeup is usually done with shades of black, brown, or grey, don’t be afraid of experimenting with muter or golden hues.

According to Makeup Artist Lennie Billy, if you have smaller eyes, the darker colour will make them look smaller. “I would say to stay away from a straight black smokey eye. Instead, try using dark browns or even grey to lower the intensity of the black shadow.” She says.

• Invest On The Right Tools:

The right tools make it easier and give you perfection:

1. First, use a densely packed shade eyeshadow brush to transfer the pigment from the palette to your lid. Afterwards, take a fluffy blending brush to blend the eyeshadow to perfection.
2. Apply a flat brush to the mid-tone colour on your mobile cover. Blend it well, and apply the darker colour to your crease using a blending brush. Blend the shade with a small circular motion.
3. Apply the highlight shade from your crease to your brow bone.

Next comes an essential step. Using the fluffy brush, start blending. When you feel like you have mixed enough, blend some more.
When it comes to elite eyeshadow, some American brands are just exceptional. However, with their colossal prize labels, they become out of reach for many of us. If you’re on the hunt for some quality American brands, MorLuxury, one of the leading names in the cosmetic world, is set to promote its product range soon.

• Line Your Eyes:

Use a liquid, gel, or pencil eye liner. Start with the outer wings. I love using liquid liners. I start with the outer wing when the brush is drenched in a liquid liner. Then, I line the inner corner when the brush has the least amount of product.

• Finish The Look With a Mascara:

I always feel like the Mascara completes the look. The larger and more voluminous your lashes, the wider your eyes look.
