No wonder they say that the eyes are a mirror of the soul. That is why it is so important to emphasize, decorate and highlight them. Proper makeup can give the look a special appeal and charm, which will undoubtedly attract the attention of others.
Smoky makeup is one of the most fashionable trends in the world of cosmetics at the moment. Any woman can use it both for special occasions and to create a sexy and stunning daytime make-up.
When applying the so-called “Smokey Ice”, it is necessary to strictly observe all the fundamentals and priorities, otherwise the effect of blue under the eyes will turn out. To develop the perfect makeup technique, you need a few professional tips.
First of all, it is necessary to properly prepare the eye area. Carefully apply a small layer of makeup under the eyelids. Use a high-quality masking pencil that will hide dark circles and bags under the eyes or in the corners. It is advisable to use a cosmetic pencil a tone lighter than your skin.
The next item that smoky makeup requires is the choice of shadows. Based on the color of the eyes, you can try gray, brown, black, dark purple or dark blue. Always adhere to a single color scheme. Any blue-eyed beauty is the easiest to cope with this task, since each of the declared shades will suit her. It is worth noting that it is advisable for owners of soft-fair skin to select darker tones in order to maximize highlight the eyes against the general background. Green-eyed girls will look good in brown, gray and black shades. Dark-eyed, black and brown are suitable for brown eyes.
Eyeliner pencil should be combined with the selected shadows. To apply shadows is necessary starting with a light coating of the eyelids of a neutral color of shadows. To give greater expressiveness and brilliance, you can use iridescent shadows.
So how to make smoky makeup? Take your favorite shadows and gently draw the inner corner of the eyelash line. With a precise and confident movement, continue the line towards the outer corner of the eye, gradually thickening it. To make the eyes even more expressive, apply shadows on the inner eyelid. Use a cotton swab to mix the necessary shades.
Then proceed to eyeliner lower line. You can apply it in two ways: from one corner of the eye to the other, or from the outer corner along the eyelash line, stopping in the middle. Try to make both of the proposed options and compare which one is more suitable for you. Smoky makeup can also be done with an eyeliner or liquid eyeliner, but in this case there is a risk of drawing a curved line and you have to redo everything.
When the makeup base is ready, it's time to start creating a smoky effect. To do this, apply dark shadows on the outer corner of the eye and gently blend them towards the upper fold of the eyelid. Mix the shadows together and add more and more layers as you move up. The colors should fade away when you reach the crease for centuries.
To give greater expression to the eyes, you can emphasize your smoky makeup by applying another layer of eyeliner along the eyelid. It needs to be slightly smeared with a cotton disk to remove the transitions between the layers. Also with cotton buds you can remove excess shadows. If shadow spots have broken out in the wrong places, dip a blank disc or a piece of cotton wool in the base powder or foundation under makeup and gently smear the spot where the spot formed.
The final chord of smoky makeup is mascara. Choose dark shades: brown, black, blue. Apply bulk mascara with the first layer, let it dry a little, and then apply a second layer. Do not let the first layer dry completely, otherwise with further application of the carcass you risk getting lumps.
Now you know how to do smoky eye makeup and are quite ready to conquer the world with your unique and seductive look!
