The smokey eye is not new to the makeup world but new takes to the trend are! For those of you with fair skin and lightly colored eyes, the black, grey, or brown smokey eyes can be too harsh. However, if you have blue, green eyes, or hazel eyes the a “plum smoke” is the way to have your eyes dazzling in no time.
What you will need:
Brown/Black Mascara
Light Peach or Illuminating pen concealer – I love Adel Amor Cosmetics’ Illuminating Pen
Get the Look
First, with the medium color, brush the shadow on the lid only.
You can get a more accurate placement of the shadow if you raise the eyebrow in the middle.
Start at about the middle of the eye and follow towards the outer corner in the crease.
Then dust some of the deep plum along the lid to the middle of the eye. You should have created a sideways V as shown below.
We will need to use the beige or light pink to blend next.
Starting at the middle of the eye lid, line your eye using the gel liner. I keep a straight line out to the edge of the eye as seen below. You may have some unlined area closer too the outer corner of the eye between the liner and the lid. You can color this in with the liner.
Now you have a beautiful plum smokey eye, perfect amount of color for the spring/summer months.
