The eyes are the windows to the soul. Here is how to create the ultimate stunning dramatic eyes for those special occasions. A smoky eye is all about blending darker shadows together to create a soft, feline look. It can be subtle or striking, depending on the intensity of the colors you choose. You will basically need two colored shadows: a dark one for contouring and a highlighter shade to contrast. Professional make-up artists tend to use several brighter shadows in contrasting shades. Try pairing different light and dark colors to see what you prefer. Remember, the beauty of a smoky eye is that it does not have to be perfect, so keep practising and don’t be afraid to rock your DIY smoky eye attempts.
