How To Create The "Smokey Eyes" Look With Makeup

HOW TO CREATE THE SMOKY EYES MAKEUP LOOK

This is a very sensual, dramatic and intense look, more
appropriate for a young woman, as it can considerably harden
the gaze in a mature woman, and by that age what we are after
is for the mature woman to look fresh and youthful.

PERFECT FOR A SOCIAL OCCASION OR NIGHT TIME MAKE UP
This look is perfect for either a social gathering or a night
out. It adds personality and strikingly transforms whoever
wears it, although achieving a perfect finish isn't always
easy, as patience is required not to smudge the shadow.
Following these instructions will make reaching a perfect
result a lot easier.

ACHIEVE A BETTER FINISH
If we use a fixing agent –there are several brands of these on
the market for eyeshadow and lips which can do the trick very
well; once the product is on, we start to get rid of eye bags
and imperfections with the corrector, and we blend the product
in well.

ILLUMINATE THE FACE
Create points of light with an illuminator in the area just
below the eyebrows, the upper regions of the cheekbone, the
space between the eyebrows, and on the chin.

Apply a foundation as close as possible to the skin's tone, or
at most one tone higher.

A FAILSAFE TRICK
Blend the eyelids using loose powders: this way the shadows
will then slide better, and apply a quantity of powders on the
area beneath the eyes as this way we can later pick up any
excess black shadow particles, and eliminate them with a makeup
brush. With a neutral tone we unify the mobile eyelid, after
which, as mentioned, we apply the black shadow in small
amounts, to make sure we apply the right quantity.

We may finish by underscoring the base of the lashes with a
black pencil, and blending it well.

WHO DOESN'T THIS SUIT?
In terms of eye shape: the only kind of person not to benefit
from this look would be either someone with very small eyes -as
dark tones sink the gaze- or someone with wide-set eyes as in
these cases a natural look is more flattering.

This look will give excellent results on large, and almond or
slanted eyes.

Other variants of this look are in grey tones, which look good
on green, blue or brown eyes, and navy blue, also very
flattering on chestnut, brown, green and blue eyes.

Dark brown shadow goes well with green and blue eyes.

The rouge needs to be very subtle, so as not to distract from
the eyes: a pink tone will look right.

And the lips should also be very soft in tone, in a pearly pink
or very gentle rosy gloss or just plain lip gloss. The result is
spectacular.
