Introduction:
In the broadly followed YouTube makeup tutorial by Beauty Guru, we delve into how we can get the perfect smokey eye look. The video offers a step-by-step guide to achieve a glamorous yet doable smokey eye makeup, using a blend of soft neutrals and bold black. This article will provide an in-depth interpretation of the tutorial, hopefully, inspiring you to successfully recreate this stunning beauty look from the comfort of your own home.
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Begin with a Primer: Our guru recommends starting with a primer to even out your eyelid’s skin texture and ensure that the eyeshadow adheres better and lasts longer.
2. First Shadow: Apply a light brown eyeshadow in the crease of the lid as the transition shade.
3. Deepen and Define: With a darker brown, darken the crease, gradually moving toward the outer corner of the eye. This layering technique is a key to achieving that perfect smokey look.
4. Black it Out: For a daring element, apply black eyeshadow onto the outer third of the lid. Blend it with the other colors for a smooth, gradient effect.
5. Highlight: To make your eyes look wider and brighter, add highlighter to the inner corners and brow bone.
6. Line and Mascara: Finally, define your eyes with black eyeliner, smudge it a bit for that smokey effect, and coat the lashes with mascara volumizing your lashes.
Key Tips and Advice:
The video tutorial focused on the importance of layering and blending when creating the smokey eye effect. Picking the right shades and understanding the natural shape of your eyes is critical to getting this look right. Another stand-out tip from the tutorial was, “when in doubt, blend it out,” emphasizing that seamless blending can hide any imperfections and edges.
Conclusion:
This smokey eye look requires practice and understanding of one’s eye shape and shades that compliment their skin tone. The Beauty Guru’s tutorial made this sophisticated look achievable, encouraging viewers to embrace their creativity and individuality. The take-home message was to not fear bold eyeshadows and to always experiment with makeup as it’s an art form that enhances your features.

I don't know my dang undertone for choosing foundation. You are the first person I found that seems to have the same skin tone as me, as well as eye color and hair color. What is your undertone?
For the basics — cheek techniques, where to place and suggestions on how to pair which color with eye looks. Would love a basics on contour and bronze. I like the suggestions for a flawless base!
I'll use this for my anniversary makeup. Beautiful!
Your eye colour is unreal, I've been following you for years and I never seem to get used to it! So so beautiful
Really random question but why doesnโt she show doing her eyebrows?
For the back to basics series I would love to see a video about finding the right eyeshadow shade/look to realy make your eyes pop! I have dark brown eyes and I don't know how to make them stand out more. The eyelook you are wearing in the video compliments your eye color so beautiful๐ฅฐ๐

Thoughts for back to basics topics: flawless base with different foundations (from tinted sunscreen to full), eye shadow looks, and cool/neutral looks. Maybe suggestions on how to change eyebrow styles/shape?
