7 Steps (With Pictures)

Hilary Duff does do Smokey eyes well! You can use a brown or black eyebrow pencil to make your eyebrows appear neater. This is especially important when doing a smokey eye, which is all about the shadows and depth. Step 3: Using a dark brown eyeshadow and a liner brush, create a smudged outline as close as you can to the lash line.

Here are the top 3 tutorials on how to do smokey eyes makeup, from an everyday to the most dramatic version. Once you're through with the makeup for the base of your eyes, use the Lakmé Eyeconic Kajal in Brown to draw a thick line on the upper eyelid as well as the bottom lid.

Just like eyeliner, black stands out more, and brown is more for work type looks. I use this same technique when it comes to applying other shades to the lid, which you'll see in the next steps. Step 5: Apply a gel or pencil Smokey Eye liner as close as you can to the lashline.

The term smoky means that the shadow is deeper at one area of the eye and gets lighter and lighter as it gets further and further away, just like a puff on smoke. If you start at the inner corner of the eye, you might end up optically pinching the eyes closer together.

Typically you would use a black or charcoal eyeliner pencil but you can also use a dark eyeliner pencil that matches your feature eye shadow colour. It accents the eyes and blends easily. There is so many things that you can do with your eyes by using the right makeup.

I like to hold the brush so that the shape of the edge of the brush fits as well as it can to the outer corner of my lid. Now, use the middle bronze tone on the centre of the eye lids, and then add a little gold colour to highlight the inner corner of the eyes.
