Beauty Tip of the Day - Simple smokey eye



I get a lot of people asking how to do a smokey eye, there's not much to it, I use a simple method that I change up depending on the colour, occasion, daytime or evening look etc. 

For a basic smokey eye I suggest getting 3 eyeshadow colours, a light, medium and dark, and follow the following steps. 

As you grow in confidence change it up, add more colours, throw in some glitter, or go heavier with black shadows for a night out. The more you practice the more creative you will become.



1. Start off with an even skin tone on the eyelid with a primer, concealer or eyeshadow base

2. Apply your lightest shade all over the lid

3. Apply your medium shade to the outer 1/2 of your eyelid

4. Apply the darkest shade to the outer corner of your eye

5. Apply the darkest eyeshadow shade under your lower lash line and apply mascara, & eyeliner if you want

That's it your done! 

What's your favourite colours for a smokey eye?
