00:00 Now, we're going to create a smoky look.
00:14 Using smudgy kohl liners and matte eyeshadows are a great option for this.
00:18 I've already used an eye primer on your eyes.
00:20 Now, I'm going to use a natural shade shadow starting right in the center of the eyes,
00:25 working my way all over the lid just to brighten the eye area.
00:29 For extra dimension, I'm going to start right in the center of the crease with a shadow
00:33 color that's two shades darker than your natural tone.
00:36 Work my way back and forth, just adding a nice wash of color.
00:40 We'll start right in the center of the upper lash line and work our way back and forth
00:45 from the inner corner back out to the outer corner.
00:48 Remember, to always start out small because you can always go back in and layer and make
00:54 the line thicker.
00:55 If you do prefer to have a thinner line, use an angled brush and just sweep it right on
01:00 top of the product and then apply.
01:03 I'll continue the liner right at the lower lash line and work my way all the way in to
01:08 the inner corner.
01:09 Now, we're going to go ahead and smudge out the liner.
01:12 Using a smudge tip brush, I'm going to work my way back and forth.
01:16 And a great tip is when you're doing this on yourself, keep your eyes open.
01:20 That way you don't lose the definition and you keep most of the color right above the
01:24 upper lash line.
01:25 Now use a matte black eyeshadow right on top of the liner to ensure it'll stay on and prolong
01:31 the wear.
01:32 To finish up our smoky look, we're going to go ahead and curl the lashes.
01:36 We'll go in with three coats of mascara back to back while the lashes are still wet.
01:41 This way you can really build the intensity without clumping the lashes.
01:45 This brush loads the formula right onto the lashes, creating full volume.
