Define the Crease

Next, select a medium-toned eyeshadow and apply it to the crease of your eyelid using a blending brush. Blend the eyeshadow well to avoid harsh lines and create dimension in your eye makeup. (Pic Credit: stylebyami/Insta)

Add the Dark Shade

Now, it's time to add depth to your smokey eye look. Use a dark eyeshadow (such as black, dark brown, or charcoal) and apply it to the outer corner of your eye, blending it into the crease. (Pic Credit: Reuters)

Blend, Blend, Blend

Blending is key to achieving a seamless and professional-looking smokey eye. Use a clean blending brush to soften any harsh edges between the different shades, ensuring a smooth transition from light to dark. (Pic Credit: sandhyashekar/Insta)

Apply Eyeliner

Line your upper and lower lash lines with a black or dark brown eyeliner pencil. For a more intense look, consider smudging the liner slightly with a smudge brush or your fingertip. Pic Credit: sandhyashekar/Insta)
