The Daytime Smokey Eye

October 5, 2012

We all know the famous smokey eye. Appropriate for evenings and going out, but usually never welcomed during day time as it is just way to harsh. With simple alterations however, every girl can take her beloved smokey eye and rock it for work, school or just daytime errands.

Using softer tones, like browns and greys, the smokey eye transforms into an appropriate look that will make your eyes stand out under the shining sun. Also, not including eyeliner tones down the harshness of the eye makeup. Let’s get started:

  1. Using a soft medium toned brown – usually one close, but perhaps a shade darker than your skin tone – sweep it all across your eyelid stopping at your crease with a shadow brush. 
  2. Next, apply a vanilla colour to your brow bone as a highlight.
  3. Taking a dark brown, sweep that back and forth into your crease. When you are done depositing colour, be sure to blend everything together. This is the key; the softer the lines the more “daytime” it is.
  4. For more definition, take the dark brown and focus it on the ‘outer V’ of the eye, making sure to blend.
  5. Finally, add as many coats of mascara as you’d like. Every girl loves to be lash-y.

Have fun!
