(Breakdown of the look at the bottom of the page)
The Subtle Smokey look is like the black belt of beauty; master this and you'll never be caught unprepared again.
Largely made popular by the Kardashians in pop culture, with their brown and black neutral smokey looks, a smokey eye may look daunting but with practice it can be subtle, quick and *gasp!* even easy
Perfect example was today's look:
To create this smokey eye I started with an all over skin tone color (brule). This creates a nice smooth base for my blending. I then start with the lightest color (tete-a-tint) from lashline to just above crease; Next darker (cork) from lash to crease and lastly, the darkest color (carbon) smudged right into my lash line. Taking a clean MAC 224 brush, I blended the colors together for a seemless transition from dark to light!
The end result is a subtle, yet striking, smokey eye that could be dressed up or down - ready for anything in five minutes flat. Two coats of mascara (Covergirl Lashblash Volume), a peach lip and cheek...Watch out world, I'm coming for ya.
