Smokey eye makeup can give you sultry evening eyes. Go from the clear, natural look of your wedding makeup to smoky eye makeup shadows in minutes.
We're not talking dark circles here, however, so get rid of tired-looking eyes first, unless you want to be a panda look-alike!
Use an eye cream to refresh and hydrate; then a concealer to cover. Start with flawless looking skin for all styles of eye makeup.
The smokey under-eye
- Apply a soft black kohl pencil to the inner rim and under the lashes of the lower eyelid.
- Dot across the rim of the lower eyelid, just under the black kohl, with a bronze or grey kohl pencil.
- Bleed the bronze or grey into the black with a soft brush.
- Use the same bronze or grey pencil along the top lash line, making the line become thicker towards the outer corner.
- Apply a deep complementing shadow across the lid and into the socket.
- Apply a couple of layers of black mascara on the top lashes and one very light application of the same mascara on the bottom lashes.
Hey presto! Sexy eye make up!
The Benefit eye and brow make-over kit, Smokin' Eyes has everything you need to create your own smokin' eyes... 3 shadows, a black eyeliner pencil, a brightener, 2 brushes, mini tweezers plus a complete diy lesson. All for £27.50
For a more shimmery evening look, try metallic eye shadow with your smokey eye makeup design.
Add a small amount of pink or white highlighter to the inner corner of the eye and/or under the brow, as a final touch. You can use a soft pink lipstick with this eye makeup too.
Thick fluttery eyelashes are essential for this look so I would seriously consider adding falsies.
