6 Smokey Eye Don'ts

Hey, beautiful!

Most of us love a good and beautiful smokey eye, right? But do we all know how to do it the way it’s supposed to? We’ll figure that out as we go through this blog post together!

A smokey eye is a classic beauty look that changes and reinvents beauty every day. But with so many different techniques out there and ways to do it, sometimes we tend to get a little carried away and confused about what we should be doing to achieve the perfect smokey eye look.

Here are 6 of some of the most common mistakes many do when trying to get a smokey look:

1. Forgetting eyeshadow primer: regardless of how little eyeshadow you’re using for a look, every time shadows are involved you should always put on a primer. Using a primer will help the shadows go on smoothly, stay longer and it prevents them from creasing

2. Too much eyeliner: using too much eyeliner around your eyes can give you a messy look, which can then turn into racoon eyes (nobody wants that!). Make sure you’re blending the eyeliner so it looks polished and flawless.

3. Not blending enough: blending is very important when it comes to makeup application, and it’s even more important when doing eye makeup. Blending is the key to achieving a seamless and beautifully done eye look.

4. Mixing too many colors: using colors that are in the same color palette (or in a similar one) and that work together is the key to get a great smokey eye look.

5. Applying shadow after foundation: sometimes shadows tend to have fallouts (dark eyeshadow fallouts are the worst!), so doing your face makeup first can be terrible if this happens because it’ll just ruin it you’ll have to re-do it.

6. Being lazy: anytime you wear makeup you should always take it off the minute you get home. If you’re wearing too much eye makeup, it can make your eyes extremely itchy and the mascara will damage your lashes.

A smokey eye look is something you can basically wear around any time of the year, day or night and using different colors to make it different. So I hope next time you’re going for that perfect smokey look, you’ll be able to achieve it with the help of these tips!

P.S. How many times can one say “smokey” in a blog post? Hahaha(:
