Wearing an intense gaze can be very attractive at both daytime and evening parties. This can be achieved thanks to the smoky eye makeup that, according to María Soláns, director of the Mery Make UP School and Makeup Agency , is characterized by “being a degrading monochrome makeup from the eyelashes to the eyebrow ”. To make it look radiant, all you have to do is adjust the color of the smoke to the chosen time and place.
Whether for a concert or an elegant evening, this makeup will allow you to shine in a sophisticated way. To do this you will only need a greasy product (pencil or cream shadow), a powder shadow, a brush to deposit, another to blend and a unique shade color . As the main characteristic and before starting with its realization, it must be remembered that this “is not just a color, a black eye, but a technique of working makeup”, as Soláns indicates, who also explains that “the technique is to create a base with the greasy product, where there will be more intensity near the eyelashes and it will fade as you approach the eyebrow. Then it will be fixed with the powder shadow. ”
Once we have prepared all the cosmetic utensils and the eyes are washed and hydrated, the first thing to apply to the eyelid is the greasy product. “If we want a dark result, it is best to use a black tone to give intensity. In the event that we want a subtle smoke, we can choose a taupe or brown tone ” , explains the expert. When the greasy product has been applied and spread, it is fixed with the chosen shadow, which will be supplied with the brush to deposit by the mobile eyelid. Subsequently, it will be blurred with the appropriate brush through the fixed eyelid. Soláns emphasizes that “smoked can be created in black, brown, green, blue, garnet, beige, fuchsia, etc.”
So that the smoker is perfect and enhances the eyes, giving them a touch of mystery and extravagance, “the secret is to work well on the fatty product, which is going to be the one that gives us darkness and the transition to lightness on the part of the eyebrow , without cuts, ” says the director of the School and Makeup Agency Mery Make UP. Once all these characteristics are fulfilled, “the next step is to show it off,” says the expert.
But, not without first choosing the appropriate lip color. This will depend on the tone selected for the smoke and the preferences and physical qualities of each person. Soláns emphasizes that, when making this makeup, “the only limit is our imagination.” From this moment you are ready to go out and wear a perfect smoky makeup.
