Smoky Eyes in Three Easy Steps

This makeup trend is worth stealing this summer

How to do it in three steps

 

  1. Trace the eyeliner along the upper lid close to the lashes, making the line thicker in the centre of the eyelid. This will add depth to your upper eye. If you’re using a liquid eyeliner, be careful when applying, as it takes a few minutes to dry. Try Physicians Formula Eye Definer Felt-Tip Eye Marker in Dark Brown.
  2. Next, apply your lightest shade of eye shadow over the upper part of the top eyelid. Then take your darker colour down to your lash line. Be sure to blend the shadow into your lashes so that it merges with the liner. Try The Body Shop Colour Crush Eyeshadow in Coco Deluxe, Golden Cinnamon, Champagne Kiss or Gold Rosemance.
  3. Apply layers of mascara to open up your eyes and make lashes appear longer and thicker. We love Lancôme Grandiôse Wide-angle Fan Effect Mascara.
