Getting your eye shadow on point and perfect is a gamble. The perfect eyeshadow tutorial that will breezily let you conquer a busy Monday at work and let your hair down at the club with friends! This soft smudgy eyeshadow DIY will make you rethink the way you apply your smoky eye. The trick is to use pearlescent brown instead of the traditional shimmery black, to keep the dramatic look more everyday wearable than reserved-for-evenings only.
Here’s how to apply smoky eyeshadow:
1. Pat a little moisturizer on your upper lids, under your eyes and below the arch of your eyebrows.
2. Now with the help of your finger-tip, (yes, you read that right!) create a base with the help of the lightest shade.
3. Pick up your eye-shadow brush, dab it onto a slightly darker hue the smokey eyeshadow palette and apply it all over the lid.
4. Give Cleopatra a run for her money by creating the perfect wing shape by dipping the angled brush in the darkest shade from your eyeshadow palette.
5. Tread lightly on the crease line and fill it in with a crease brush and play around with any dark shade from your desired smokey eye palette.
6. To give a demure pearly effect, fill in the gaps on your lids with a not-so-light, not-so-dark shade and blend it in.
7. Finally finish the look with your favorite eyeliner. Now where’s the party tonight?
