Smokey Eyes
Intense , versatile and low-maintenance - this classic look never gets old. Follow these simple steps to ensure your shadow looks soft and sooty but never slept in.
HOW TO DO IT
- Trace the upper lid with a soft black pencil to define the shape and add intensity to the lash line. Then gently smudge it with your fingertip to diffuse the line
- Using a medium-size domed brush, apply inky powder to the crease of the eye. Then blend it downward for a wash of color over the entire lid
- With a smaller brush that has firm bristles , press a gunmetal shade into the lower lash line. Apply a silver powder to the inner corners to lighten the overall effect
- Piles on the mascara. Stiles (MUA) prefers a small , easy-to-maneuver wand. Instead of heavy lip color, choose a glossy or balm-like neutral for a "slightly less finished mouth"
