The smokey eye. One of the wonders of lady-life that baffles me to no end, as I and many others I’ve head, end up looking like a total raccoon! Here are some tips and tricks to help you achieve your sultry smoke eye for date night.. or any night!
“An eye primer is essential in creating the smoky eye because of all the layering and blending you need to do with dark, rich pigment shadows,†says José Rivera, Principal Artist for Sephora’s PRO Beauty Team. “This primer not only helps shadows stay put, but the darker color blends seamlessly and enhances the smoky effect.â€
José created a fun smoky eye tutorial video featuring the new Kat Von D High Voltage Eye Primer in Smoky, the Adora Love & Fury Eyeshadow Palette and the Adora Painted Love Lipstick.
Watch José create the look on YouTube and follow his tips below.
José’s smoky eye tips:
- Blend High Voltage Eye Primer in Smoky on the lid and under the eye
- Dust the brush with shadow, invert it at an angle and press it into the lashline
- Press and feather out color as you move the brush upwards and outwards using smooth strokes
- Smudge the shadow under the eye along the lashline
- Finish the eye look with a strong lash by curling and applying several coats of rich black mascara
