How to Create the Perfect Smokey Eye (Any Skill Level)




A smokey eye is a way to make your eyes look amazing. You can wear it during the day for a glow or at night for a bold look. The best part is that you do not have to be a makeup expert to do it.


Start with a base


Before you put any makeup on your eyes get your eyelids ready with some primer or concealer. This helps the eyeshadow stay on better and not get all wrinkly. Just set it with some powder so your eyelids are smooth.


Choose the colors


A classic smokey eye uses colors like black or brown. You can also try other colors like plum or navy for a softer look. You need three colors:


  • A light color for the base


  • A medium color to blend


  • A dark color to make it look deep


Apply the base color


Take the color and sweep it all over your eyelid. This is like the foundation of your eyeshadow. It makes it easier to blend the colors later. You can use a brush or even your finger to put it on.


Build depth with a transition color


Take the color and apply it to the crease of your eye using a fluffy brush. Move the brush back and forth to blend it well. This gives your eye some dimension. Makes it look nice.


Add the color


Now it is time for the part. Take the color and apply it to the outer corner of your eye and along your lash line. Blend it in gently. Remember, it is better to start with a little and add more than to put much on.


Blend the colors


The key to a smokey eye is blending. Take a brush and soften any harsh lines. The colors should look like they are melting into each other.


Define your eyes with eyeliner


 Take an eyeliner and apply it to your upper lash line. If you want a look smudge it a little bit with a small brush or cotton swab. You can also line your lash line for extra drama.


Do not forget the lash line


 Take the medium colors and apply them to your lower lash line. Blend Well so it does not look heavy or patchy.


Finish with mascara


 Take some mascara. Apply it to your upper and lower lashes. This makes your eyes look big and beautiful. If you want drama you can add some false lashes.


Clean up the edges


 Take some concealer. Apply it to the outer edges of your eyes. This makes your eyes look sharp and clean.


Tips for beginners


 If you are new to eyes start with brown colors instead of black. They are easier to work with and forgiving. Do not worry if it is not perfect the time. Just. You will get better.
