Expert Tip:
The key to a great smoky eye is blending. Anyone can create this quick-and-easy look. The best part is you don’t have to worry about having any defined or straight lines. And, of course, it can be as simple or as dramatic as you desire. How you line your eyes with the black liner in step 1 will determine the intensity of your finished look (the thicker it is, the more intense). Start with layering, less is more. Remember that it’s easier to add more product than it is to remove. And always, always have fun with your look.
