How to: Winter Smokey Eye
09:01:00
Hey lovelies! Today, I will be showing you how to get this smokey eye that can easily be worn during the day or even at night. I find that this look enhances many different eye shapes and is not too dark with the light shadow in the inner corner, but is still smokey with the deep tones in the outer corner. Let's get started!
*optional: fill in your brows and prime your eyelids (recommend primer: Too Faced Shadow Insurance)
Also, this look can be done with many eye palettes, but the one I used for this was the Too Faced Chocolate Shop New York Holiday Palette (I love Too Faced palettes for smokey eyes if you couldn't tell).
1. Start with applying a matte, cream eye shadow all over the lid, focused more so in the inner corner (shadow: Glaze)
2. Apply a matte, warm brown shadow into the crease for a transition shade (shadow: Chocaholic)
3. Apply a dark brown/plum colour to the outer corner with a flat eye shadow brush to intensify the shadow then lightly blend in (shadow: Tootsie)
*I really enjoy using plum shadows for the winter time because it looks good with any eye colour in my opinion and I find that more smokey looks are common in the winter time
4. Blend the dark brown/plum shade with the transition shade to create an ombre effect in the crease.
5. Apply a highlight shadow in the inner corner and on the brow bone (shadow: Gingerdoodle)
6. Using a gel eyeliner, line your eyes on the upper lash line and create a wing at the end. For a more smokey effect, you can use a black eye shadow to blend the liner (gel liner: Maybelline Master Precise Gel Liner)
7. Last step is mascara! Curl your lashes and apply your favourite mascara. (mascara: They're Real by Benefit)
8. And you are all done with your eyes!
I hope you try out this look soon! xx
