A smoky eye is a classic makeup look that can add drama and glamour to any outfit. However, it can be easy to go overboard and end up with a look that is too heavy or dark. Here are some tips for creating a subtle smoky eye makeup look:

  • Start with a neutral base. Apply a light-colored eyeshadow to your entire eyelid to create a smooth canvas.
  • Choose softer shades. Opt for muted shades of grey or brown for a more subtle look.
  • Blend well. Use a blending brush to blend the eyeshadow shades together to create a seamless look.
  • Use eyeliner sparingly. Instead of a thick line, apply a thin line of eyeliner to your upper lash line.
  • Highlight your brow bone. Use a light, shimmery eyeshadow shade to highlight your brow bone and add some dimension to your eye look.

Remember, less is more when it comes to a smoky eye makeup look. Don't be afraid to experiment with different shades and techniques to find the look that works best for you.
