Nothing says sophistication quite like a smokey eye. The timeless makeup trend has been a favorite amongst women for decades, but with so many variations, it can be hard to find the perfect look. That’s where the light gray smokey eye comes in.
Perfect for day or night, the light gray smokey eye is subtle enough for the office but also glam enough for a night out. Here’s how to achieve the perfect look:
Step 1: Prime and Prep
Before applying any eyeshadow, it’s important to prep your eyelids with a primer. This will help your eyeshadow stay in place all day and prevent it from creasing. Next, apply a light gray eyeshadow all over your lid. Make sure to blend it well so that there are no harsh lines.
Step 2: Add Depth
To create depth, use a darker gray eyeshadow in the crease of your eye. Use a small brush and blend the shadow up and out towards the outer corner of your eye. Focus the majority of the color on the outer corner of your eye to create a subtle cat-eye effect.
Step 3: Highlight
To make your eyes pop, use a light shimmery eyeshadow on the inner corner of your eye and on the brow bone. This will give your eyes a bright, awake look.
Step 4: Line and Define
Using a black eyeliner, line your upper lash line. If you want a more dramatic look, you can also add a winged liner. Finally, apply mascara to your lashes to complete the look.
And there you have it! The perfect light gray smokey eye. Remember to blend, blend, blend for a seamless look and have fun experimenting with different shades of gray to find the perfect look for you.
