Smoky Eye

Elegant and sophisticated, this is the look that makeup lovers adore. It also works beautifully for day by just experimenting with tones and textures.

Tips for a Smoky Eye look:

1) The most important thing to do when applying this look is to blend, blend, blend! I use four of the brushes in the Mary Kay brush set to get this look. The first one is for eye makeup application, the second is for blending, the third has a very small tip for applying eye makeup close to lash lines, and the fourth is a blush brush. You will be amazed at what a difference using brushes can make!

2) When wearing a smoky eye look, be sure to keep lips and cheeks more subtle.

3) If you are making your eyes very dramatic, play down the volume of your hair and opt for a sleeker look.

4) Lashes should be bold and beautiful with this look. Use Mary Kay® Ultimate Mascara™ in Black for mile-long lashes. Be sure to curl!
