Smoky Eye Makeup – Easy Tips for Sexy Smoky Eyes

One of the sexiest makeup looks happens to be the smoky eye. This look is sophisticated and sexy at the same time. In fact, the look is often used on celebrities in movies or on the red carpet. Of course, many women are intimidated by this look because they aren’t quite sure how to apply smoky eye makeup. To help you rock this look yourself, here are a few smoky eye makeup tips to follow to perfect this look.

First, start out by using a bit of concealer or light mineral foundation on your top lid and under the eye. This gets the area well prepared so you can go on to apply the smoky eye makeup.

Take a black or other dark eye pencil and line the bottom and top rims of your eyes. Make sure you go into the lash line with this smoky eye makeup too. For liquid liner, draw a line by placing dots along your lash line and then filling in to get the straight line you want.

Now it’s time to add the shadow to the smoky eye makeup. Use a q-tip or a good shadow brush with dark shadow to go over the liner you already have used. Smudge carefully to soften the liner line and the shadow line together. This helps to soften and set the smoky eye makeup look.

A light shadow can now be applied around the eye area. Make sure you blend the smoky eye makeup well to achieve the soft, smoky, sexy look that you want.

Clean up the area around the eye, making sure any extra shadow is brushed away. To set off your smoky eye makeup, you may want to curl your lashes and then add 1-3 coats of mascara to really make your eyes stand out.
