Ashley Before

It doesn’t take black eye liner to get that smoky look when you have blue eyes. You can create it without using colors that are too dark. Ashley is our subject for this demonstration.

Base eye make-up

To begin, we’ll start with a primer on her lids. This creates a smoother, longer-lasting, and crease-proof eye shadow application.Base eye make-up

The base color is essential. We don’t want to go too dark yet. We’re applying a silver blue shadow to Ashley as our base color.

Now, let’s go green for a cooler, neutral shadow. In this case, we will use a blue-green in the crease.

Pretty dramatic, right? Already, her eyes are beginning to smolder. Now let’s apply a bit of dark blue in the crease as well.

Applying eye shadow

When doing this at home, apply makeup in layers and you won’t get it too dark. That way, you don’t have to worry about taking anything off. We also suggest that you blend the colors on the lid.

Now, let’s line Ashley’s top lid with black and the bottom lid with dark blue. It doesn’t take much to accentuate what we’ve already done.

Mascara

Finally, we will apply black mascara to the upper and lower lashes. We will finish up by filling in Ashley’s eyebrows with a brownish-blonde brow shadow.

The end result is smoky eyes, just like Mary Kate’s. Isn’t she gorgeous? She’s ready for a night on the town!
