Makeup Tutorial: Smoky Eyes

There's no better way to learn how to make-up yourself but with pictures. Follow these simple steps and you will be looking gorgeous!

Step 1. Prep the eyelid with a primer to ensure longer-lasting color.




Step 2. Apply a pale gold or light beige cream eyeshadow all over the eyelid.




Step 3. Using a flat eyeshadow brush like MAC #239 Eye Shader, pat a medium brown eyeshadow on the eyelid.




Step 4. Using a small brush like MAC #219 Pencil Brush, darken the crease and outer corner of the eye with a dark brown eyeshadow. Blend off harsh edges with a fluffy brush like MAC #217 Blending Brush.




Step 5. Apply the dark brown eyeshadow on the lower eye.


Step 6. Draw a line along the upper lashline with a black liquid or gel eyeliner. To create the illusion of longer, bigger eyes, drag the line a few mm past the outer corner. Line the waterline as well to make sure there are no “whites” peeping through.




Step 7. Brush a highlighting color on the inner corner of the eye and under the brow bone.




Step 8. Apply mascara and fake lashes on upper lashes.




Step 9. Apply a few coats of mascara on lower lashes.
