The smoky eyes makeup that is so demanded recently first appeared during black-and-white cinema of 20s in XX century. Makeup artists applied the technique that was so
much close to smoky eyes makeup to help actresses transform and play their
roles and create the image of a fatal beauty. No doubt that this technique was
acknowledged and liked by actresses leaving along the spectators and fans of
them.
The famous
French actress Brigitte Bardot loved in 70s by our moms and dads promoted this
technique and made it popular again when she started applying only this style.
In the end of XX centuries girls loved using smoky eyes makeup to create dark
shadows under their eyes since that time liked extremely slim models, pale and
rather skinny with distinctive check bone lines. And Kate Moss was a real
picture of the skinny and exhausted model. Kate Moss kept the ill style of life
that resulted in thinness and lank cheeks that she openly declared recently in
her interviews.
Smoky eyes
are still demanded in the early XX century. There is a rare actress or a
show-biz diva who ignored smoky eyes to show off on the red carpet or any other
functions. Smoky eyes makeup does not suit anyone, though, the actresses like Keira
Knightley, Sienna Miller, Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Penélope
Cruz, Jessica Simpson, and Paris Hilton. Smoky eyes makeup is demanded for over
several seasons already, and it seems that I will never yield its positions.
Smoky eyes
makeup accentuates and emphasizes eyes as the main focus point. When wearing
smoky eyes makeup, your eyes intrigues and attracts attention.
Decorative cosmetic
product manufacturers keep on launching more and more palettes of eye shadows
especially for smoky eyes makeup. Both women and manufacturers benefit from it. Look, women find it easy to look and
discover the eye shadows that are suitable for them and their complexion, while
manufacturers gain more and rather tangible profit. Eye shadow pallets are
found in the assortment of products by such companies as MAC, Bobby Brown,
Chanel, Guerlain, Dior and many others. Smoky Eyes by Bourjois appeared to be the
innovation palette of eye shadows for the past season. The company makeup artists
elaborated eight color options to make the smoky eyes makeup application in a
simpler way.
Smoky eyes
makeup has the advantage that it may be used for many types of women. It is good
with blondes, brunettes, brown-haired and red-haired ladies. The color of eyes is not thatimportant.
Smoky eyes may be freely used to
wear every day, and this ideally suits you when you go out in the evening. And
only the shadows palette makes sense.
Warmer
shades prevail in the day-time makeup from pastel, golden and olive. The makeup
ideal for the evening wear should have colder tints from grey, grey and brown
to tobacco, brown and black. When applying the evening smoky makeup you should
be careful with spangles, and you never abuse of it. Spangles risk making your
eyelids look heavier and your eyes swallowed a bit.
The technique
may seem complicated but it is not. On the second though and after several
attempts you will be skillful enough to enjoy your look.
Three tints
of eye shadows are required to apply the smoky eyes makeup, namely light,
medium and dark shades.
You start with
applying the eye shadow base aka primer above the upper lash line, making the
line thicker in the middle of your eye. Line your eyes with the liner of darker
colors, like purple, green or blue if you want to have one million dollar look.
For the color
on the bottom you'll need lighter eyeliner to create a key smoky eye look. And
you have to «smudge» it. You can also apply a bit of shadow to get absolutely
smudge effect. Shade a light, glamorous shadow over the lids to your browbone.
Now when you have the base applied, we come to creation of the smoky effect.
You blend in color from the lash line blending up. Remember to blend color into
the lash line to get the eye liner faded.
We have the
blended contour in color as a result.
The shade
should be more intensive at the lash line, and too pale close to the browbone.
Smoky eyes
makeup does not require emphasizing the lower eyelid. The technique when eye
shadows are put on the upper eyelid is too demanded.
To make your
smoky eyes look unique, you are welcome to play with it. You may use various
eye liners depending on the eye shadows applied. Eyes are lined with the
eyeliner along the lash line and blended in color. You may glue some artificial
lashes in the inner corner of eyes роста or use lash curler. Remember, that mascara is applied
as a final stroke. This is a final part of the smoky eyes technique and no less
important.
