Easy Smokey Eye

Hola chicas!
All my clients always ask me the easiest way to do a smoky eye. I am always bedazzled by that question because smoky eyes are that hard to do. 


So here's the tip:


To get the perfect smoky eye look, you must create a gradation of color. Start by applying the darkest shadow shade on the lid. Place a medium shade in the crease and under the lower lash line. Finish with a pop of highlight shadow under the brow and on the inner corners of the eyes.

Don't be afraid to make your smoky eye more chic and sophisticated. Mix shades of gray and black with purple, green, silver, plum or blue, but for a neutral look go for the browns.


To avoid an "ash-fall" during your smoky eye application. Apply some loose powder or fold a tissue and place it under the lower lashes. Excess shadow falls on to the tissue or loose powder, not your skin.






Stay Beautiful!
