How to apply make up - Easy Smokey Eyes

Today on how to apply make up,  thought it would be good to look at the easy smokey eye.

Curl your lashes to open the eye

You need three brushes...

Smudge brush - Smudge Eye Brush

Blender Brush - Colorescience Eye Blender Brush

Flat Shadow Brush - be PROFESSIONAL makeup flat liner brush

Three shadows of the same shade - Dark, Medium and Light

Apply a dark liner along the lash line in the same color family as your shadows- Don't worry about accuracy

Run the smudge brush over the eye liner

Use the same brush and use your darkest eye shadow and apply over the eye liner, to smudge in further

Using your flat shadow brush and apply the medium tone to the lid, almost to the crease - again dont worry about neatness

Then take the lightest color on the blender brush and apply into the crease and blend until you have the colour you like

With the smudge brush mix the medium and light shade and with the wide side apply on the lower lash from the outside to the middle, then tilt the brush, to the narrow side and finish to the tear duct, continue around the tear duct to finish the definition.

To add further definition, use the pencil again, to apply along the waterline of the lower eye.

Apply the mascara
