How to achieve the makeup effect Smokey Eyes?
Foundation: It should be perfect, to draw the attention to the darkness of the eyes. Stick to a satin or matt finishing. Apply concealer where it is needed to cover all the imperfections. The powder is also very important to fix the foundation and to prevent the oily sheen.
Eyebrows: Should be shaped, but not underlined. There is enough accent in the eyes and if you add strong underlining of the eyebrows the makeup will look too overloaded.
Rouge: The dark, dramatic eyes have the ability to pull the color of the whole face, so a slight hint of blush gives really good results and balances this effect.
Eyes: Start by applying the base color of eye shadow over the whole eyelid to the eyebrow. Use the lighter color, which is not resplendent. Apply the next shade just above the eyelid and blend it away until the edge of the eyeball. Highlight the eyeball, the upper and lower lash line using the darkest color. Spread and mix as the edges of the layers to be invisible. Then with a soft, black eye pencil outline the edge of the eye, as possible as closer to the lash line. The quantity of pencil, which you will put at this stage, will defer to the depth of the smoky effect. Check if the top and bottom line are collected in the outer corner of the eyes.
Blend this line with a second layer of the darkest shadows around the lash line and add some in the outer corner of the eye or the line of the eyeball, if you want to make your eyes even bigger. If at any point you decide that the color has become saturated, go with a cotton swab over them with a little face powder to detract from its intensity. The makeup is completed with a final eyeliner with pencil and for further reinforce the framing add some mascara.
Lips: Should be pale and ordinary. The neutral pink lipstick or gloss is sufficient to highlight the dark dramatic eyes and to maintain the harmony of the face.
