Classic Smokey Eye Makeup Look

Classic smokey eyes are a favorite by many. It's a quick and easy look to attain with fewer tools and products. It can be worn daily or on a  night out. Read more below t see how I do it with minimal and easy-to-access products.

For this quick yet sultry look, start on the eyes first before doing your base because we will be using dark shadows and they tend to fall out ruining your foundation. So I used a black pencil liner (Makeup Academy Contour Liner Pen in Black) all over the lid including the bottom lid and water rims. This serves as eye shadow base. Then I just smudged the edges with my finger. With a black eye shadow, I set the liner then blended the edges for a smoked out effect. After working with the dark shadows, we can now move on to the foundation. I used a cream foundation (Jazzy Cooper Foundation) and then blended with a damp sponge. A damp sponge sets the foundation on the skin and gives a smooth and long lasting finish. On the t-zone, under eyes and chin, I used a light powder for highlight.  For contour, I used a darker powder on the hollows of the cheeks, temples, and sides of nose.

Back to the eyes, I finished the brows with a blended brown pencil liner (MUA Contour Pen Liner Brown). And placed on some false lashes. Lastly on the lips, I moisturized with a lip balm (MUA Sweet Kiss Li Balm), evenly toned the shade with a concealer pencil then applied a nude lipstick (Revlon).

I just removed my bun to let down a messy hair and that's. Here are the result photos:
