Step-by-Step Smoky Eye Makeup for Beginners

Looking for a timeless eye makeup look that instantly captures attention? Well! Search no further. If you are a makeup diva or even a newbie, you must have heard of the smoky eye look. This eye makeup look screams confidence and glam. 

But don’t worry! It’s not too difficult to create. This blog is your step-by-step guide to creating a smoky eye look that even beginners can nail on the first attempt. Let’s dive right into it and perfect that sultry gaze.

Step 1- Prep Your Lids

Start with your clean eyelids. Apply a thin layer of eye primer to them; doing this ensures your eyeshadow stays in place and blends smoothly.

Step 2- Choose Your Shades

Choose three eyeshadow shades: a light, a medium, and a dark shade. You'll use these shades in the next steps, you can pick neutral tones like browns, taupes, and blacks from Born16’s Eyeshadow Palette- Nova.

Step 3- Apply the Transition Shade

Take a fluffy brush and apply the medium eyeshadow shade to your crease. This creates a seamless transition between the lid and the brow bone.

Step 4- Build the Smoky Base

With a flat brush, apply the dark shade to your eyelid, starting from the lash line and blending upwards. Leave the inner corner lighter for a more open-eyed effect.

Step 5- Blend It All the Way

Take a blending brush and soften any harsh lines on the eyes. Blending is important to achieve that smoky, sultry look.

Step 6- Define Your Eyes

Define your eyes by lining your upper lash line with a black eyeliner. Smudge the kohl slightly for a softer, smoky effect. Apply a dual mascara to both the upper and lower lashes to add instant volume and length.

Pro-Tip: Add Drama for that Sultry-Gaze

For a more intense look, apply a dark eyeliner along your waterline and smudge it into your lower lashes. This adds depth and drama to your smoky eye.

Takeaway

The smoky eye look is an easy eye makeup look that can instantly add glamour to your simple makeup. Creating stunning smoky eyes that enhance your natural beauty is not too hard. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you.
