Smokey eyes is the beauty trick that can transform your look from a moment. Smokey eyes can turn you from sweet to sexy in a moment. And while it does not take just a moment to get perfect smokey eyes, it is not all that difficult as well. Dramatic eye makeup is one of the best ways to glam up any look and with the party season here, dramatic eyes are going to be all the rage. So, here is a step-by-step guide to help you get the perfect smokey eyes.
Step 1
There is literally nothing worse than a smokey eye that runs. To make sure that the makeup does not travel, gently dab a trusted primer on the eyelids and under the eyes as well. This will make sure that the makeup stays put throughout the night.
Step 2
Dark circles under your eyes can totally ruin your hard work. Amongst the beauty tips to get rid of them, gently blend in a slightly thick and creamy concealer under your eyes using your fingers. Now to set the concealer, use a small blending brush to apply a little translucent lose powder to even it out.
Step 3
Get a good eyeshadow palette and use a small, angular brush to apply your favourite dark shade from the palette to the lower lash line and use a shading brush to apply the same shade over the eyelids and the eye-crease.
Step 4
Perfect smokey eyes don't have harsh lines. Use a fluffy smudge brush to smudge the eyeshadow along the crease of your eye and along the lower lash line.
Step 5
You have the tint of your choice on your eyes and now define the eyes with a black eye liner. One beauty tip to remember is to make sure that the eye liner you use in creamy in texture so that there is no problem in smudging it out. Drag the liner along the upper and lower lash lines and the water lines as well. Now take a shading brush and smudge the liner out to perfectly blend it with the eyeshadow.
Step 6
To avoid the smokey eyes making the face look all dark and vampy, use a blending brush to blend in a gleaming highlighter along the brow bone and also the inner corner of the eye along the nose. The use of a highlighter is one of the best beauty tips ever.
Step 7
This is just the last piece of detailing you need to get the sexiest smokey eyes because no smokey eye makeup is complete without voluminous lashes. Curl your lashes using an eyelash curler and jazz them up with a thick coating of a good mascara to add length, volume and the much-needed drama.
