Everything You Need for a Smokey Eye
- Start off with a strong primer to keep the whole eye look in place.

- Use a fluffy brush and apply a warm matte brown shade into the crease as a transition color.

- Use a flat shader brush. Dip it into a dark shade of your choice and apply it all over the lid. Blend it into the warm shade in the crease. Apply the dark shade under the waterline as well. Start off light. Remember that you can always build the color, but you can’t exactly erase.
