How To Do An Earthy Smokey Eye

Lets face it, Smokey Eyes are pretty much the holy grail of makeup. If you haven't already rocked the look, you've probably already (unsuccessfully) attempted it or maybe haven't yet built up the courage to even try it. If you've been dying to do a smokey eye but aren't sure if you could pull off the look, you've come to the right place. We'll teach you how to do an easy, off-the-runway, earthy smokey eye in just 10 minutes!


1. Start off with a clean lid and apply a primer to hold everything in place. 

2. Brush on a shimmery bronze eyeshadow and cover your lid completely.

3. Use a dark brown shadow for you creases, sweeping in a half-moon shape across the top of your eye. Apply a thin line along your bottom lash line. Use a blending brush to blend the colors together.

4. Bring out some highlights by applying a lighter shade, such as champagne or cream, under the brow and in the corners of your eyes.

5. Line the top and bottom lashes with either a charcoal or black pencil liner. Blend it in with your shadow brush or gently smudge the liner, carefully working it into the eyeshadow.

6. Finish it off a few coats of mascara, and voila, Smokey Eye!
