What is a smokey eye makeup look?

A smokey eye look is a popular and classic makeup technique that involves the application of eyeshadows to create a gradient effect, transitioning eyeshadow colours from dark to light. Typically this starts with

deeper shades near the lash line and outer corners and gradually softens into lighter hues toward the brow bone. Traditional smokey eye makeup looks use dark colours such as blacks, browns, and greys to create intensity and depth.

 

What products do I need to create a natural smokey eye makeup look?

To create a natural smokey eye makeup look, you'll need a few essential products from Bobbi Brown’s collection. Start with a base to prime your lids and you’ll also need a neutral eyeshadow palette that contains

a combination of dark tones with both matte and shimmer finishes. For extra dimension, a gel textured eyeliner will help create that smudging effect and to finish add volume to the lashes with mascara.

 

 

Step 1:

Start your smokey eye by applying Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in a neutral shade (used here in Dusty Mauve) from lashlines to creases and blend to blur any harsh edges. Then smudge the same shade along lower lashlines. This product also helps to create a smooth canvas and enhance the longevity of your makeup.
