Smoky eyes in 3 quick steps!

To create a smoky eye in the easiest possible way, follow the steps below.

1. Dip your finger into a pot of loose powder shadow and pat into the lower lid, blending up to the socket with small strokes and semi-circular movements

2. Line the lower lash line with a soft smudgy kohl pencil to create a heavy smoke. Line into the inner rim both on the bottom and top of the eye and use a cotton bud or your finger to run under the eye and blend your kohl line. The more you blend the smudgier the look

3. Coat your lashes with a volumising mascara both top and bottom. Apply a first coat and leave to dry before applying a second top up

For this look I have selected a few of my favourite products from the high street.....

Mac pigments come in a great range of colours all of which can go to create a smoky eye, Don't be fooled by thinking smoky means black everywhere, this is often the mistake people make. You can use any colour as the smoke is defined with the kohl pencil... that should of course be black.

It is important to have a long lasting pencil as if this wears off then you lose your impact eyes...
I love Bourjois 16hr kohl and contour. It lasts all night and is delicate in texture and ingredients, two very important factors when working with the eyes. It also has a built in sharpener which is brilliant if like me you have a tendancy to lose yours!
