We will develop his smoky quite simply by drawing a halo coal all around the eye. We begin by applying a fixative makeup base on the eyelid (step to never zap for a makeup of the successful look). It will allow the pigments to adhere better and prolong the holding of the make-up, particularly by preventing the eye from migrating into the folds of the eyelid and preserving its intensity. Then apply the black eye shadow on the eyelid with a flat brush. An application to the finger may be considered but it will be less precise. The rough finish can however have a sexy side.
Once the makeup is evenly applied to the crease of the eyelid, the contours are degraded with a smearing brush for a smoky effect. Finally, we draw a line of pencil black flush with the lower lashes. Then finish by placing a little light (white or gold) in the inner corner, final touch to brighten the look.
To boost the intensity of your smoky, you can also apply kohl or pencil bold before eyeshadow. And we do not forget, if you put on a smoky look, the complexion must be perfect and the mouth play low profile.
