How to apply smoky eyeshadow

Different makeup will reflect the different personalities of women. Some people like the natural look of nude makeup, while others prefer the enchanting effect of smoky makeup. Some people like both types of makeup. In particular, many female celebrities usually prefer smoky makeup. Smoky makeup is characterized by exaggerated application techniques. It is a type of makeup that every beauty-loving girl wants to try but dares not to, because if the application techniques are not mastered well, it is very easy to cause bad effects.

1. Smoky makeup steps

Step 1: Curl your eyelashes to make your eyes look bigger, then apply thick black eyeliner at the base of the eyelashes on the upper and lower eyelids.

Step 2: Gently pull the upper eyelid upwards and apply thick black eyeliner on the upper eyelid, keeping the line as close to the root of the eyelashes as possible.

Step 3: Dip a hard-bristled pointed brush into a little bit of black eyeliner color, and use this brush to blend the eyeliner outwards into the shape of wings spreading toward the temples. This will have the effect of expanding the eye shape. Blend the eyeliner outwards to create a youthful and soft smoky look.

Step 4: Next use a fluffy natural bristle brush to add black eyeliner to the upper eyelid. When applying, try to get as close to the root of the eyelashes as possible and blend towards the eye crease.

Step 5: Clean the brush bristles on a tissue, then dip the brush into beige eyeshadow with a gold shimmer, and blend it from the eyelashes to the eyebrows.

Step 6: Use the previous hard-bristled pointed brush to apply the beige eye shadow to the lower eyelid, covering the area where the eyeliner was just drawn.

Step 7: Apply volumizing mascara. A smaller eyelash brush is recommended, as it can make each eyelash distinct and create a more obvious makeup effect.

Step 8: Overlay a stunning dark purple on the upper eyelid, patting it on with a stiff-bristle brush. The key is the choice of bristle texture.

Step 9: Use a stiff-bristled pointed brush to apply the same dark purple eyeshadow to the lower eyelid.

Step 10: Apply golden shimmer eyeshadow to the middle of the upper eyelid, covering the previous color. This will make the upper eyelid appear more three-dimensional.

Step 11: Finally, lightly apply a little glossy lip gloss in the center of the lips and your makeup is complete.

2. Notes on smoky makeup

1. Make your eyelashes thick and curled.

2. If you want to do smoky eye makeup, you must first apply a good foundation around the eyes, otherwise it will look dirty. You should find a way to cover up dark circles and eye bags, otherwise they will be more prominent after applying makeup.

3. The eyeliner should be prominent and the mascara should be applied thickly.

4. Apply eye shadow powder to the lower eyelid as well to make the upper and lower eyelids balanced.

5. Use matte foundation, natural lip makeup, and only highlight the eyes in the entire makeup.
