Smoky makeup is the kind of makeup that is timeless and elegant. This type of look is one that many people are often trying to accomplish. Personally, I like to play around with different smoky looks, depending on if I am applying makeup for daytime or going out at night.

With a smoky style of makeup, the eyes are beautifully emphasized. It is important to apply the eye shadow carefully and make sure that it doesn’t scatter around the rest of your face, smudging the rest of your makeup. One great tip when going for the smoky makeup look is to start with the eyes, just in case. Apply your foundation to the rest of your face after you are finished with your eyes, so that you can wipe up any scattered eye shadow without creating a mess.
