As the party season is upon us, here is a TOP TIP from make up artist Studio Couture by PK to help you with your Arabian smokey eye. This is a classic, dramatic look for the stage or for a night out, and one of my personal favourites. Enjoy!
Products Needed
- Eye Primer or Concealer & Translucent Powder
- Nude or White shimmer shadow
- Dark brown, charcoal or black eye shadow
- Blending fluffy brush
- Eyeshadow Brush
- Eyelash Curler
- Black Mascara
Step-by-step technique
1. Apply primer or concealer to the whole of the eye area as well as underneath the eye (if using concealer make sure you powder straight after application-ensures long wear)
2.Using your shadow brush apply the lighter shade all over the eye lid paying extra attention underneath the brow line, also place this colour in the inner corner of eye too.
3. Draw a line across the upper lash line using black pencil (if you are a beginner) liner from inner and make it thicker as you move out.
4. Using the blending brush smudge the black line you have already made by moving the brush towards upper lid.. This will give it the smokey effect.
5. Apply the black shadow (or any other dark colour) on the crease. Smudge the shadow with the light shadow and keep blending until you see the effect of a smokey eye.
6. Apply black liner in the bottom waterline and then with a thin brush smudge under the lashes.
7. To finish off use eyelash curler and then apply black mascara.
Quick and easy. Here's what is should look like:
