The smoky eye is one of those modern classics featuring more and more in the streets rather than at exclusive catwalks. How to work it?
- Apply the darkest graphite shade you can find over the lids, and extend it a bit at the sides.
- Use a lighter shade and a brush to blend and buff the edges.
- Use a kohl to line your eyes, make sure the coverage is complete, and if you have some trouble with the lashes, dot the pencil between them.
- No need for much more, just curl the lashes or use transparent colourless mascara, groom brows and wear a clear gloss on the lips. Remember: you don't want to look like a ghost so apply base where needed and highlight your cheeks ever so slightly.
