How To Create a Classic Smoky Eye Effect

Line one entire eye with liner, building the liner up on the outer lid, and smudge it with a small smudge brush up and down into the lashes. Line the inside of the lash membrane.

Repeat on the other eye, lining it entirely.

Use the dome-shaped brush to apply the neutral eye shadow over an entire lid all the way up to the brow bone.

Repeat on the other eye, applying the neutral eye shadow to the entire lid.

Use a flat brush to apply the medium shade contour eye shadow to a lower lid. Blend it up and into the crease of the eye so there is no discernible line between the medium and neutral eye shadows.

Repeat on the other eye, applying the medium shade contour eye shadow to the lower lid and crease.

With your small smudge brush, brush a line of the dark eye shadow across the lash line, on top of the eyeliner, and blend it up using small circular motions so there is no discernible line between the dark and medium eye shadows.

Repeat on the other eye, applying the dark eye shadow across the lash line.

Curl your eyelashes.

Apply two coats of mascara, and do a slow, smoky burn.
