The other day I actually became curious enough to let a Chanel beauty expert apply the smoky-eye look on me. Previously, when I tried to manage the look by myself, I sometimes ended up looking a little panda-ish. It's a great look for an evening out when I am trying to look exotic but in the daytime? Hm.... this is a new concept to me.So the lesson I have learned from the expert is to apply sparingly for a daytime look. First, apply silver shadow on lids to create a slight smoke effect. Instead of heavy liner, use black or dark grey eye shadow in its place for a softer look by applying as close to the lash line as possible. To add contour and depth, just apply a little black shadow at the end and work inward toward the center of eye. Blend, blend and more blending.... To finish up, a touch of white highlight is added on the brow bone. Of course, a gal shouldn't leave the house without a coat of mascara to show off her long beautiful lashes. Viola, I got a lesson on smoky eye look for day time. I will try to do this myself again and will post a picture update. How do you feel about the smoky-eye look?

I'm so not talented at applying make-up...I usually end up looking funny, so I take it off.:) Maybe you'll do a tutorial if you have the time.
ReplyDeleteSounds cool--I've gotta try it.
ReplyDeleteGreat Tips! I tend to do the smokey eye all the time ...it just suits my eyes the best ...however, I do darken it up for night time.

The makeup is waaaay to expensive, however, during the day I'd say less makeup is more and at night you can really go wild with it.
ReplyDeleteI love the smokey eye, SG. And I agree with you, for a daytime look it's best to use lighter shades of grey.
ReplyDeleteooooooh, please post...would love to see it on you!
