The Classy, Coy and Curious: The Easiest Smoky Eye

Hello Campers! Rise and shine! Becuase today (as promised) I am giving you a very easy Smoky Eye that will get you from day to night with no hassle at all!

Ok, so either print this fabulous post out or take your lap top into the bathroom/bedroom and lets get started!

Also a little note that I have only done the eye make up below, I have no foundation, lips or hair done with this look.

First things first - Clean the eyes with a make up wipe, make up remover on a tissue or one of those round make up pads that you can get in packs of 50 for $5.

The brushes that you will need are these below: A rounded eyeshadow brush, a short slanted tip brush and a dome short hair brush.

The colours and make up that you will need are: Black matte eyeshadow, a good base colour like mushroom or champagne, a grey matte eyeshadow, a soft black kohl eyeliner, black mascara.

Step 2 - Concealer and your base eyeshadow colour

Simply grab your perfectly matched concealer (this is usually a few shades lighter than your everyday foundation) and dab it under the eye and a little on the eyelid itself. Make sure to rub gently as the skin on and around your eye is very delicate.

After you have gently rubbed your concealer in, grab your base colour and cover the entire eye lid right upto the brow bone.

Step 3 - Eyeliner

Grab your soft black kohl eyeliner and gently pull your outer eye outwards so the skin is taut. You are going to draw a nice thick line along the top of your lashes right to the end of your outer eye. Dont worry to much if your line is not straight and is perhaps a little lumpy, after we are finished you wont even notice.

Step 4 - Black Eyeshadow

Now that you have a lovely black line above your lashes its time to blend! Grab your black eyeshadow and your dome short hair brush and start to build the black colour from your outer corner of the eye and only go as high as just above the eye crease.

Step 5 - Grey Eyeshadow and your short tiped slanted brush

Now your smoky eye should be starting to take shape. You will need your round eyeshadow brush for this step (the one with the longest bristles) The next step is just as simple as the previous.

In the inner corner where you can see your base colour and the end of your eyeliner is where you are going to put the grey colour. Make sure that you blend the grey into the black or you will end up with colour that just stops in the middle of your eye.

Also after you have done the grey colour, pick up your slanted short tiped brush and go back to your black eyeshadow. Dip the top part of the brush (make sure to tap as you dont want too much eyeshadow on this brush as you will get to much colour fall out under the eye) and gently drag it under your bottom lashes from one end to the other, smudging it a little as you go.

See the picture below, this will give your eyes some much needed definition. Make sure you go right into the inner corner of your eye. See how much better the right eye is to the left?

Step 6 - Mascara

After you have put your black eyeshadow under each eye the smoky eye is almost finished! Add a few coats of black mascara on your top and bottom lashes. The will really make them pop! Once thing to do before you put on mascara is to really make sure your happy with the intensity of the colour.

If you want it darker or are unhappy with your blending its best to try and fix this before your mascara. If you simply want more colour try applying your eyeshadow with a wet brush!

Step 7 - Eyeliner

Welcome to the last and final step for this sexy smoky eye! Grab your eyeliner and with your free hand gently pull down the bottom of your eye. This will expose the inner rim of your eye which is where your black eyeliner is going.
