Introduction:
In the YouTube tutorial “Achieve the Perfect Smoky Eye” by renowned makeup artist, Jane Doe, she explains and demonstrates step by step how to create a smoky eye look that is both wearable and impactful. This detailed guide will not only help you master this alluring and versatile look but will also equip you with tips on how to achieve a flawless finish regardless of your eye shape or makeup skills.
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Prep Your Eyes: Jane begins by emphasizing the importance of prepping the eyelids with a primer. This provides a smooth base and ensures the longevity of your eye makeup.
2. Define Crease: Jane uses a neutral, matte eyeshadow to define the crease of the eye. A fluffy blending brush is key for creating a soft, diffused effect.
3. Build Smoky Effect: Next, she layers on a darker shade, starting at the outer V of the eye and gradually working inwards. The trick is to build color intensity slowly and blend repeatedly.
4. Add Shimmer: She then adds a hint of shimmer on the center of the eyelid to create a spotlight effect. This adds dimension to the look and makes the eyes pop.
5. Smoke the Lower Lash Line: Jane smudges a bit of the darker eyeshadow along the lower lash line for a complete, balanced smoky effect.
6. Highlight: Adding a bit of highlighter on the brow bone and inner corners of the eyes enhances the overall look and makes the eyes look bigger and brighter.
7. Finish with Mascara: Finally, Jane finishes off the look with a generous coat of volumizing mascara.
Key Tips and Advice:
Jane offers plenty of advice in the video, but some standout tips include:
-Blend repeatedly for a seamless effect.
-Choosing the right brushes can make all the difference.
-Don’t forget to use an eye primer as it can enhance the potency of your eyeshadows and keeps them from creasing.
Conclusion:
The overall message of Jane’s video is that anyone can achieve the perfect smoky eye with a little practice and the correct techniques. By starting slow, knowing where to place each eyeshadow, and blending thoroughly, you can create a smoky eye tailored to your eye shape.

I really love the Aegysal eye makeup. I'm eastern Asian with tan skin that changes colors with the season. I also have baggy eyes and I've been having issues with doing this kind of eye makeup. Can you do a tutorial of going more in depth with that please? Especially what kind of concealer to use for puffy baggy eyes? I triedd it a few times but the makeup actually looks like the first photo more than the second one. Thank you so much! π
