Fall is about the smoky eye look sultry and sexy; create wide-open, smoky eyes with this simple how-to guide.
What you will need:
- Cream style concealer or heavy foundation
- Eyeliner pencil in black, dark gray or dark charcoal brown
- Powder shadow in dark brown or gray
- Powder shadow in ivory or light beige
- Black mascara
- Eye shadow
Brush
- Cotton swab or applicator sponge
Creating the look:
1. Cover the surface of the eyelid with creamy concealer or with a heavyweight foundation. This will form a smooth base over which to apply the eye makeup and will help it to last longer.
2. Using the pencil eyeliner, trace a thin line along the top lash line from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. Next, trace the bottom lash line from the inner to outer corner. Use a cotton swab or applicator sponge to smudge the lines so they are not stark stripes and to remove any clumps left by the pencil. The farther the color is from the lashes, the more it should fade.
3. Lightly brush the powder shadow over the surface of the lid, including into the crease. Brush outward and with an upward motion. Stop short of the brow line and do not pass the outer edge of the brows on the sides.
4. Sweep a little of the light powder shadow across the brow bone, blending lightly. Start the light shadow a little inside of the inner corner eye. This brightens and opens up the eye.
5. Finish with smoothly applied black mascara.
