Are you tired of struggling to create a smokey eye look that complements your hooded eyes? Look no further! This tutorial will guide you through a simple and easy process to achieve the perfect smokey eye for your eye shape.
Step 1: Prep Your Eyes
Start by applying a primer to your eyelids. This will help your eyeshadow last longer and prevent creasing. Next, use a skin-toned eyeshadow all over your eyelids to create a smooth base.
Step 2: Define Your Crease
Using a medium-toned eyeshadow, define your crease by applying it to the outer corner of your eye and blending it inwards. Make sure to focus the majority of the color on the outer corner as this will create the illusion of a more lifted eye.
Step 3: Add Depth
Next, apply a darker eyeshadow to the outer V of your eye. This will add depth and dimension to your eye makeup. Use a small brush to blend the color into your crease for a seamless transition.
Step 4: Smoke It Out
Take a black eyeshadow and apply it to your outer V. Be sure to blend the color outwards towards the tail of your eyebrow. This will give the illusion of a longer and more lifted eye. Use a fluffy brush to blend the color out for a smoky effect.
Step 5: Highlight
Apply a shimmery eyeshadow to the inner corner of your eye and blend it towards the middle of your eyelid. This will brighten and open up your eyes. You can also apply it to your brow bone for extra definition.
Step 6: Line Your Eyes
Line your eyes with a black liner to define them and make them appear more awake. If you have smaller eyes, you might want to skip lining your lower lash line as it can make your eyes appear smaller.
Step 7: Mascara
Finally, apply mascara to your top and bottom lashes to complete the look. You can also add false lashes for extra drama.
There you have it, the perfect smokey eye for hooded eyes! With a little practice, this look can be achieved in no time. Remember to blend, blend, blend for a seamless finish.
