Smoky eyes can be very sexy, as long as they are done right. The smoky eyes makeup trend has become very popular in recent times and it has been seen on many celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez, Hayden Panettiere and Kate Hudson. As long as you are able to master the smoky eyes technique, it can be very easy to achieve this gorgeous look. Here are some makeup tips that will help ensure that your smokey eyes will look their best.

Be Sure to Choose the Right Makeup Colors for Smoky Eyes

It is possible for you to get smoky eyes with pretty much any eye makeup colors. However, if you want to get the most out of your smoky eye look, you will want to choose colors that look smoky. Eye shadow and eyeliner shades that you will want to consider using include shades of gray, black, purple and even brown. Certain shades of blue may even work, though it is important to make sure that you are not opting for bright makeup shades. You will need three different colors. No matter what colors you choose, make sure that they are similar to one another. For example, you would not want to mix blue with purple. Choosing varying shades of the same color is best. Examples include light and dark shades of purple or shades of grays and black.

Begin Applying Eye Shadow to Your Upper Eyelid

It is best to start by applying eye shadow to your upper eyelid. First, you should apply the lightest eye shadow color. You will want to cover the entire eyelid with it, extending from the eyelashes to the brown bone. Next, you will want to add a medium shade of eye shadow. Begin it towards the eyelashes and extend it to the crease of your eyelid. Lastly, you will want to apply darkest shade of eye shadow. Begin the application close to your eyelashes and end it about halfway to your eyelid crease. You should smear it upwards for a smoky eye appearance. With all three eye shadow colors, it is very important for you to make sure that you blind them in with one another.

Apply Eye Shadow and Eyeliner to Your Lower Eyelid 

 

Apply eye shadow to your lower eyelid, right beneath the lower eyelashes. Smear it in with your fingers, but make sure that it does not clump underneath your eye. It is important for it to look natural. Then, use your eyeliner to draw a thin line on your lower eyelid. For the most subtle look, try to opt for a lighter shade of eyeliner, such as dark gray.
The first time that you try out the smoky eyes makeup technique, you may find that it seems a bit difficult. However, with practice and patience, it is likely that you will be able to create Smokey Cat Eyes Makeup like a professional after you have tried it out several times.

Keep in mind that you may not want the smokey eye appearance on a daily basis, but it can be a great touch when you go out at night.
