Spectacular smoky eyes makeup: step-by-step technology with photos

Autumn is just around the corner, which means the time will soon come to create makeup looks in deep and subdued shades. Smoky eyes makeup is an ideal option for the coming season, always relevant and fashionable. Its main feature is careful shading, which provides beautiful smooth transitions of shades to create an expressive look. Mastering the technique of shading shadows is not as difficult as it seems, the main thing is practice.

The dramatic look above is perfect for a formal event, party or photo shoot. It has two accents - on the eyes and lips - which give the makeup an impressive effect and some rebellious notes. Intense smoky eyes, winged eyeliner, highlighted eyebrows and plum lips are a great ensemble that is worth trying to bring to life.

In our technology we show how to make smoky eyes step by step, what products to use for this and in what order to apply, as well as how to do face and lip makeup to complete an impressive makeup look.

Step 1. Cleanse the skin, apply makeup base and foundation. We correct the shape of the face with cream textures.

Step 2. Set with powder and enhance the correction with dry textures.

Step 3. Shape the eye using the creamy texture of the shadows. Shade thoroughly.

Step 4. Apply dry pigment with a brush. We shade according to the shape, stretching it towards the temples.

Step 5. We place accents, strengthening the fold between the moving and fixed eyelids with a dark color. We align the outer and inner corners of the eye using color.

Step 6. Draw arrows : the inner corner of the mucous membrane - with black kajal, create an interlash arrow using black gel eyeliner.

Step 7. Paint the eyelashes with black mascara and glue on false eyelashes to make the eyes more expressive.

Step 8. Outline the contour with a lip pencil. Apply lipstick of the appropriate shade with a brush. Use highlighter to highlight the area under the eyebrow, cheekbones, bridge of the nose and chin. Add a peach blush.

Step 9. Perform bleaching: use a white pencil to cover the eyebrow and hair along the growth line.
