SMOKY EYES

A heavy hand is not the answer to bold, sultry eyes. Lots of light, soft layers and blending are the tricks instead! For an everyday brown smoky eye that suits all eye colours and skin types, start with a wash of nude shadow a couple of shades darker than your natural skin tone all over the lid with a small fluffy brush. Follow up with a warm brown shade and lightly swipe it in a windscreen wiper motion into your crease. Add a small amount of the same brown to the outer corner and just a touch to the lower lash line. Finish with a touch of light-reflecting shadow in shimmery nude or gold in the middle of your lid, and a smidge in the inner corner. 1 Nude by Nature Natural Illusion Eyeshadow Trio $29.95
