Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by getting creative with your makeup look? A smokey eye is a classic choice, but with a spooky twist it can be transformed into a Halloween masterpiece. Here’s how to achieve the perfect Halloween inspired smokey eye:
Step 1: Prep your Eyelids
Start by prepping your eyelids with an eyeshadow primer. This will ensure that your eyeshadow lasts all night long. Use a small amount and blend it in with your finger tips.
Step 2: Choose your Colors
For a Halloween inspired smokey eye, you’ll want to choose dark, bold colors like black, deep red, and purple. These colors will add a spooky touch to your look. You can also add some glittery eyeshadows for some extra sparkle.
Step 3: Apply your Eyeshadows
Start by applying a light base color all over your eyelid. This will help to blend the darker colors later. Then, take your darkest color and apply it to the outer corner of your eye, blending it inwards towards the center. Use a fluffy eyeshadow brush to blend the color out for a softer look. Repeat this step with your other dark colors, blending them into each other for a gradient effect.
Step 4: Add Eyeliner
To add some drama to your look, add some black eyeliner to your upper lash line. You can also add a wing for a more dramatic effect. If you want to go all out, you can also add some glittery eyeliner for some extra sparkle.
Step 5: Mascara and False Lashes
Finish off your look by applying mascara to your lashes. For some extra drama, you can also add some false lashes. Choose a pair that is long and thick for a bold Halloween look.
And there you have it, the perfect Halloween inspired smokey eye! Don’t forget to complete your look with some spooky lipstick and face paint. Happy Halloween!
