WHAT YOU NEED TO MASTER SMOKEY EYE MAKEUP
To become the ultimate smokeshow, you need a few things. First, a concealer to prime and smooth your lids before applying your look. You can't go wrong with our full-coverage, long lasting concealer. Next up: an eyeshadow or eyeliner for color. If you're using an eyeliner, our smudgeable gel pencil eyeliner is key. If you prefer eyeshadow, any of our gel pots, pressed powders, or cream-to-powder formats will work. And don't be afraid to reach for those rich hues—a smokey eye doesn't have to be black! Not sure what shades to choose? Our eyeshadow palettes have coordinating shades that will work together for a smoldering smokey eye.
