Smoky Eye
Soft, smudged and dramatic.
A 30-second scan finds your exact shades, then each step glows right on your own face in the camera.
Step by step
- 1
Base
Blend foundation from the center outward, then brighten under your eyes with concealer.
Check the shade on your jaw in daylight. It should disappear.
- 2
Base shade
Pat a medium brown shade all over your lid, up to the crease.
Tap off extra powder from the brush first.
- 3
Smoky corners
Press a deeper shade into the outer corner, then smudge a little along your lower lashes.
Connect the top and bottom at the outer corner for a lifted shape.
- 4
Smudged liner
Line your upper and lower lashes, then smudge the line with a small brush.
Smudge it while it’s fresh, before it sets.
- 5
Mascara
Look down into the mirror, wiggle the wand at the roots of your top lashes and sweep up.
Two coats on the top lashes for more drama.
- 6
Blush
Smile, and tap it onto the raised part of your cheeks, then blend up toward your temples.
Blend upward, never down. It lifts the whole face.
- 7
Nude lip
Keep your lips soft with a nude lipstick or balm.
With a strong eye, a quiet lip looks most elegant.
