Easy Steps To Achieving The Perfect Subtle Smoky Eye For Daytime
All over the world you will find women sporting the smokey eye look these days. 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. Use lighter shades of eyeshadow during the day, and go darker at night.
Simply take a grain of rice-size amount of primer with your pointer or ring finger and smooth the product across the eyelid area, from the lash line all the way up to the brow bone. If you are more inclined towards a subtle, elegant appearance for the day, the Simple Smokey Eyes are perhaps, all you need.
Using your favorite shade on the lid, from the lash line to the crease. If you have disastrously thin eyelashes like mine, mascara is a must. Use shade 3 to darken corners and connect lower lash line. Cheap rough textured formulas tend to contain more oil and will clump on your eyelids, gathering in creases.
Step 3: Pack on gold eyeshadow once the black has been Smokey Eye blended. In fact, a good grown-up smokey eye focuses on browns and bronzy colours that look neutral and flattering. By using nude or natural color lipstick will make your eyes truly pop up. Use light-colored lip liner and natural-colored lipstick such as peach, very light pink or caramel if you don't like the nude.
Then apply the mid-tone shadow from lash line to crease. For this, forgo the eye shadow and forge ahead once again with soft kohl pencils in various colors. Reserve the heavy dark smokeys for the night time or major events where such makeup is appropriate. Next take the lightest color, for example the silver, and apply it in an arched fashion from the crease of the brow.
It is advisable to use powdered foundation in order to set the eye makeup on your eyelids. My eyes, once my best feature, now have droopy lids which I don't have the skill to disguise, despite watching you tube videos designed to help. Instead of the traditional grungy and charred vibe of what we will, from here on out, refer to as Instagram smoky eyes, these soft looks give off a subdued and romantic feel.
