"Smoky Eyes" have been around for a long time. It seems that this classic
look is very popular in the fashion industry once again. Follow along as I guide
you through the steps to achieve this great evening look.
To create a smoky look you need to start with a light color like our Shy or
Smooth eye shadow. You apply this color with the Large Shading Brush all over
the lid and a little under your eye. Then use a charcoal color like our Never
Enough. Apply the charcoal from the lashes to the crease in the lid. Next use a
black shadow like our Ornery shadow with a firm bristle brush like our Slanted
Brow Brush to apply your eye liner. Make sure to apply your liner a little
thicker towards the outside of the eye. Last take a large complexion brush to
blend all the colors together. That is it.
Now
that you have the steps down it is important to understand why you need to use a
quality product like the cosmetics offered by Make-up by Armando. The whole key
to "smoky eyes" is seamless blending of all your eye shadows. If you use a low
quality shadow to try to create this look you will be very disappointed. All you
will get is a smudged look instead of the smoky look. Our higher quality shadows
blend smoothly to create a seamless blend between the different shadows. Our
shadows are created from powder with a similar consistency to talc before they
are pressed into the shadow pods. Another benefit of using our shadows is that
they can be applied wet to intensify any color. This is great when you want to
make your eye liner more dramatic.
