This is to prevent the eye shadow from melting into the eyelid crease throughout the whole day. Start putting the eye shadow base or the so-called primer on the eyelid.
- Any color for eyeliner will do. You can choose from the usual colors of gray, brown or black for your smoky eyes. The application of eyeliner should be on the upper lash line and a thicker line in the middle of the eye.
- Blend in more colors of eye shadow on the bottom eye lashes. This will give a full smudge effect for the eyes.
- The best light base color for smoky eyes are cream, shimmery and light shades such as pearl or taupe color.
- Keep the dark color below the crease while blending in the darker color. A darker eye shadow shade will give the smoky effect for the eye. To do this, use an eye shadow brush starting at the lash line.
- For a more volumizing effect, put some several coats of mascara.
