Creating a subtle smoky eye makeup look can be tricky, but not impossible. Here are some tips:

  • Start with a light-colored eyeshadow as a base on your lid.
  • Use a medium shade color to add some depth, applying it to the crease of your lid.
  • Apply a darker shade of eyeshadow to the outer corner of your crease, blending it well as you go.
  • For the smoky effect, use a small brush to apply dark eyeshadow along your upper lash line and blend it out, creating a winged effect.
  • Use a light shimmery eyeshadow on your brow bone and inner corner of your eyes to make them pop.
  • Finish off with a few coats of mascara to create volume and length to your lashes.

This should create a beautiful smoky eye look that is not too heavy for any occasion!

To create a subtle smoky eye makeup look, you will need the following:

  • Eyeshadow primer
  • Eyeshadow palette with at least 3 shades (a light base shade, a medium shade, and a dark shade)
  • Blending brush
  • Eyeliner
  • Mascara

Here are the steps on how to create a subtle smoky eye makeup look:

  1. Apply an eyeshadow primer to your eyelids. This will help the eyeshadow to stay in place and prevent it from creasing.
  2. Apply a light base shade all over your eyelid. This will help to create a smooth canvas for the rest of the eyeshadow.
  3. Apply a medium shade to the outer corner of your eyelid and blend it into the base shade.
  4. Apply a dark shade to the outer corner of your eyelid and blend it into the medium shade.
  5. Use a blending brush to blend the eyeshadow all over your eyelid until there are no harsh lines.
  6. Apply eyeliner to your upper and lower lash lines.
  7. Apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes.
  8. Add a touch of highlighter to your inner corner of your eyes to brighten up your look.

Here are some tips for creating a subtle smoky eye makeup look:

  • Use matte eyeshadows instead of shimmery eyeshadows for a more subtle look.
  • Use a light hand when applying the eyeshadow. You can always add more eyeshadow if you want a darker look, but it's harder to take away eyeshadow once it's on.
  • Blend, blend, blend! The key to a successful smoky eye is to blend the eyeshadow until there are no harsh lines.
  • Use a clean brush to blend the eyeshadow into your crease. This will help to create a more defined look.
  • Apply eyeliner to the inner rim of your lower lash line to make your eyes look bigger.
  • Use a mascara that will volumize and curl your lashes. This will help to open up your eyes and make them look more awake.
  • Add a touch of highlighter to your inner corner of your eyes to brighten up your look.
