So I have created this soft black smokey eyes and you can do it too with these very easy steps.
STEP-1
Firstly apply concealer on your eyelids and set it with a powder, avoid any creases.
STEP-2
Apply any kajal in one third eyelid, you don't have to be precise.
STEP-3
Take a black eyeshadow and pat on the kohl area and blend on the same area, do not go above that.
STEP-4
Take dark brown eyeshadow in dense blending brush and blend the edges of kajal. Deposit the dark brown colour just above the edges of black and blend well.
STEP- 5
Take a lighter brown shade and deposit in the crease area and blend with the darjer brown shade.
STEP-6
Take a clean big blending brush and run in the edges and all over the lid lightly to get a seamless blend.
STEP- 7
Apply kajal in lower lashline and smudge with brown shade using a pencil brush.
STEP- 8
Lastly add some pop of shimmer or a coloured eyeshadow on the inner corner and below browbone.
STEP- 9
Complete the look with some mascara.
And you are done it is very easy. To make it more intense you can put kajal on half eye lid or slightly above and blend it with brown eyeshadows.
Reasons why your smokey eyes does not look good and solutions-
- Your black eyeshadow is not pigmented enough - use kajal underneath to avoid this.
- Using big blending brush for every color - use small brush for more concentrated blending.
- Taking dark colors above the crease line - use lighter shades for crease line to give a gradient and blended look.
- Overblending - do not mix all the colors by overblending as it can look messy. Blend 2 colors together at a time.
