Bobbi Brown makeup artist Sebastien Tardif shows us how to do a simple smoky eye that anyone can do.
Step 1: Prep skin. Smoky eyes are dramatic so the rest of the face should be clean.
Step 2: Groom brows. Eyebrows frame and balance the face so never forget to groom brows! Sebastian used a stiff angled brush to apply brown eyeshadow on to the brows.
Step 3: Pat a black eyeshadow gel all over the lid, but only up to the crease. Beyond that, Sebastien says you'll look like a clown!
Step 4: Choose a color. Sebastien chose blue. Pat this gently over the black shadow. The result is a shimmering deep blue that has depth. Remember you can use any color you like but I think the darker shades are best (blue, purple, green, brown).
Step 5: Trace a thin line on lower lids with a black pencil. And apply mascara to open up those peepers!
Step 6: Use a lipstick shade that is close to your natural color. Sebastien's tip: Before applying lipstick, fluff powder on the sides of your lips to prevent color from bleeding to lines (in case you have them!).Step 7: Finish with a peach blush on the apples of cheeks.
