SMOKEY EYES ARE, WELL, SMOKIN’ HOT!

If it’s true what they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," then why not decorate and adorn your precious peepers with the epitome of eyeshadow beauty, the smokey eye? The smokey eye is a distinctive cosmetic blend of eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara applied in a way that gives a dramatic, dazzling look to the eyes. Since our eyes are the window to our souls, the smokey eye allows us to see ourselves and the world through gorgeous, mesmerizing eyes!

We all know that eyeshadow is a makeup item that is applied on the eyelids and under the eyebrows. Eyeshadow adds depth and dimension to your eyes that can complement your eye color and can be used to make your eyes appear larger or simply draw attention to your eyes? In a nutshell, various forms and shades of eyeshadows make your eyes stand out and look more attractive.

Smokey eyes are, well, smokin’ hot!

Smokey eyes definitely radiate with high-end glamour, and the smokin’ hot appearance can be captured in just a few easy steps.

How to Apply the Perfect Smokey Eye

Prep the Eyelid

Swipe an eyeshadow primer (base) across the upper and lower eye area and let it dry.

Select the Colors of Eyeshadow

Smokey eyes work best when you use a dark and a lighter color (brown and gold, dark blue and light blue, etc.) Beauty knows no bounds! You can use whatever shade you desire.

Apply Eyeliner 

Apply eyeliner above the entire upper lash line, drawing the line thicker in the middle of the eye.

Blend in Color on Bottom Lashes

The bottom color is one of the main elements of the smokey eye look. Run an eyeliner pencil under the entire bottom lashes and smudge the line with your finger or Q-tip. You can also apply some eyeshadow and smudge the eyeliner and eyeshadow together.

Apply Base Color

The key to a fabulous smokey eye is pairing a lighter base with a darker hue. Sweep in a light, glistening shadow over the eyelids to the browbase.

Blend in the Darker Color

Blend in the darker color of eyeshadow starting at your lash line, blending up. Blend the color into the lash line so that the eye liner disappears.

Check Your Work

Make sure that both eyes match and rub out any smears or smudges with a Q-tip.

Apply Lots of Mascara 

Thick, dramatic mascara is a must to finish off an alluring smokey eye effect. Apply enough coats so that the lashes look long, thick, and dark. Black mascara works best for the ultimate look. False eyelashes can be applied if preferred.

Congratulations! You have mastered the smokey eye! Sizzling!

Eyeshadow Fun Fact

Have you ever wondered what ingredients are used to make the eye-catching eyeshadow that you love to wear? Common ingredients in eyeshadows consist of talc, mica, sericite, magnesium stearate, colorants, and preservatives. Fillers in eyeshadows are primarily talc. The liquid binders are typically a silicone and the dry binders are usually magnesium stearate. In order to make a perfectly blended eyeshadow, there has to be a balance between the fillers, dry binders, and liquid binders.
