Smokey Eye in 5 simple steps

This is my go to smokey eye in just 5 simple steps using very little products. This look is perfect for a night out paired with any lip colour and is suitable for all skin tones.

Before we go on to the tutorial, be sure to use an eyeshadow primer on your eyelids to ensure your eyeshadow goes on smooth and seamless. This will also make your eyeshadow last as long as possible.

Now on to the tutorial...
Step 1: Apply a matte brown eyeshadow into your crease using a fluffy blending brush, taking it slightly towards the brows. I used Mac's soft brown.

Step 2: Put a black pencil eyeliner all over your lid. This doesn't have to be neat at all as we are going to blend it out later. I used 2true's black pencil liner.

Step 3: Using a matte black eyeshadow, blend the eyeliner out, dragging the colour slightly into the crease. Build the colour to intensify the colour until you have your desired look.

Step 4: Apply a shimmery eyeshadow into the inner corner of your eye to open up your eyes & lighten the look a little as we are working with such dark colours. I used the Kiko water eyeshadow in the colour 208.

Step 5: Tight line & line your water line with the same pencil eyeliner you used earlier. You can add some gel/liquid eyeliner and wing it out for some extra drama but this step is optional.  Finish off with your favourite lashes & mascara. I used Ardell's demi wispies & the L'Oréal Telescopic mascara.

I hope this easy smokey eye was useful to you girls.
