Basic Smoky Eyes


After my first basic makeup tutorial I was asked to make a basic smoky eye tutorial. I am not a makeup artist or guru, but I do know that there is more than one ways to achieve a look.
This tutorial is EXTREMELY user friendly. I cut down the amounts of tools and colors used by professionals to the basic core counterparts. Basically what I am saying is that this is doable.
Ok I will cut the chit chat.


Lets get STARTED!


The Materials

LANCOME COLOR DESIGN Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold

The color I used was Designer (Metallic)

1) Eye Shadow Sponge applicators

3) Eye liner ( I use Palladio Eyeliner)
4) Eye lash curler ( Shiseido)
5) Black Mascara ( LOreal Volumous)

For nude lips I used
1) Concealer ( Mac studio fix pot)
2) Lipstick (Revlon Naturally Nude)
I applied the concealer on my lips to wash out my natural lip color because it helped make the lipstick look more opaque and brought out the color.

Reminder, I took these photos with my flash on, so my eyeshadow appears lighter than in real life. Yes I am aware that my eyebrows need to be plucked...but hey...even I get lazy!


Start off with a fresh foundation/powdered face.

Now take the eyeshadow sponge applicator with the eyeshadow on it and OUTLINE your eyelid. Find where the crease is and outline the crease. This ends up being a guide to show you where to stop when you fill in your eyelid with the eyeshadow.

Now fill your eyelid with the eyeshadow color and avoid coloring over the outline you made. Stay within the eyelid area.

Now here is how you create the smokey look. Take a CLEAN eyeshadow brush and blend out the eyeshadow line you have made. Blend in by following your natural eyeball socket. Make sure to emphasize the outer eyelid area to create that sexy cat eye look.

It should look like this where the outer corner of your eyes should appear more exaggerated.

Now apply another layer of the same shade on the Lower part of your eyelid. This helps darken the smoky eye.

Again, take the brush and blend blend blend.

Now take the eyeliner and line your entire eyes. Line as close as you can to the lashline and inner rim of your eyes. If it looks sloppy, do not worry because we are going to smudge it. Now take the eyeshadow sponge applicator and smudge the eyeliner. Be sure to apply the eyeshadow on the outer lower eyelid.

Darken your eyebrows. Dark eyebrows helps your smoky eye look more dramatic.

Take your eyelash curler and and curl your lashes, then apply the mascara on the top and lower lashes.

Now you are finished. Sometimes you may have to eyeball your smoky eye to see if it is even. You may have to fix your smoky eyes by blending or adding more of the eyeshadow. This is not something you are supposed to master on one try... believe me, even I have difficulties.

Later on, you can add more colors and experiment. Highlight the area around the tear ducts of your eyes to brighten them. Remember, this tutorial was just to show you the basics, you do not have to use just one color like I did here. I encourage you to try new things and experiment.

Goodluck ladies and I hope my tutorial helped.
I will cover the Egg mask next time.

After all this...I still prefer the simple and clean look =) Cheers
