Smoky Eyes

Having smoky eyes is a classic look that will surely make heads turn, whether you are in a party or simply just walking down the hall to your office. If you are on a date and would want to look sultry and sophisticated, just a bat of an eyelash will surely make your man swoon if you have the smoky-eyes look.

However, achieving this look on your own is a bit tricky. A lot of women have tried doing it on their own but failed miserably. If you want to create perfect smoky eyes, read on and discover the four things you absolutely need to do to recreate this look right at the comfort of your own dressing table.

1. Dark Brown Eye Liner

The most important makeup paraphernalia that you will need to achieve smoky eyes like Beyonce Knowles or Eva Longoria is dark-colored eyeliner. Since a black eyeliner might be a bit tricky, it would be better if you stick to dark brown. Many women who have tried using black ended up achieving gothic instead of the smoky-eyes look. It would also be a good idea to invest in a good pencil eyeliner, particularly the kohl type because it would be easier to smudge around to achieve the smoky look. Always remember to refrain from using liquid eyeliner if you want to have this look.

2. Eye Shadow

For a dazzling look, you need to use three eye shadow hues. Use the medium shade to color your entire eyelid. If you are having the smoky look during the day, a brownish copper hue is more appropriate. However, if you are attending a party in the evening, grayish tones will be the best. In order to create depth and dimension, use the darkest hue in your eye shadow palette to color the outer areas of your eyes, while you can use the lightest shade for the inner corners. Blend well so that there wouldn’t be visible lines or demarcation marks on your eyes.

3. Highlighter

A highlighter is important to make your look more dramatic. Using an ivory or pearl-colored highlighter is better than one that is purely white. Just dab a little highlighter on your brows and the inner corner of your eyes for a more subtle effect.

4. False Eyelashes

More often than not, mascara (even the one that makes your lashes appear longer and thicker) is not enough to re-create stunning smoky eyes. For a more flirty effect, you need extra fringes of lashes. In order to achieve this, you need to use false eyelashes.

Putting on falsies can be quite tricky. What you need to do is to stick the lashes as close to your real line of eyelashes as possible. Otherwise, you risk looking like you have two rows of eyelashes on each eye. And you do not want that to happen.

You should also use a small amount of adhesive so that you won’t have messy clumps to repair and clean. Lastly, try to finish the look by filling in the blank or white spaces using your eyeliner. For a more natural look, you may want to put on a single coat of mascara on your fake lashes too.

If you have dark circles under the eyes or eye bags, you may want to prep your skin first before doing the smoky-eyes look. It would be best to use a good eye cream to help minimize the puffiness or skin discoloration surrounding your eyes. Your smoky eyes will end up looking like raccoon eyes if you do not clear out such problems first. One eye cream that can help get rid of puffiness and skin discoloration, as well as wrinkles and fine lines, is Eyevive.
