Create the Perfect Smokey Eye in Two Steps
It takes time and a lot of practice to create the perfect smokey eye, yet only seconds to ruin it. That’s why we love products that make it easy.
Seriously. It’s really easy. All you need is a dark liquid shadow and a fluffy blending eyeshadow brush.
For a classic smokey eye, we love “Molten Midnight” from Stila ($24). This gives the perfect a black and metallic bold eye look. For a more affordable dupe, try “Imaginarium” from NYX ($6).
Once you have the shade, apply the product all over the lid. Then, smoke it out with a blending brush like the M330 Blending Crease Brush from Morphe ($7). Repeat to add intensity!
