A Wearable Smoky Eye for the Diva in You! 

People!! I can't tell you the number of times I have had clients ask for the ever-popular smoky eye look! And, of course…who can blame them? Gorgeous, sexy, and always appealing, the smoky eye will never (I repeat…NEVER) go out of style…

But what if the diva in you (or in your client) wants a smoky eye look that can be worn during the day as well as the evening? I've got you covered! The lastest video in the Academy Master Class series, Wearable Smoky Eye, is unleashed today! Here are my top tips and how to's for those of you who don't have access to the videos.

Step-by-Step Wearable Smoky Eye:

• Take a creme shadow and apply it in the inside corners of the eyes. This will create a subtle softness compared to the more dramatic smoky eye look. 
• Take a highlight shadow and apply it directly over the creme – remember to keep it to the inside of the eye! 
• Using a midtone shade, start at the base of the lash line and work your way up and over the lid (I like a flesh midtone with a tiny bit of pink hue to it…personal preference!)
• Take blending brush and blend it out (make sure it's clean!)
• Using and eyshadow brush, apply your dark, charcoal shade. Again, start at the base of the lash line and work your way up to the crease of the eye. Press shadow directly into the crease…and then blend it out with blending brush.
• Keep the inside of the eyelid lighter. Do not apply your contour shade to the inside corners. 
• Take your pencil liner and apply short dashes across the top lash line. 
• Using eyeliner brush, apply a dark shadow directly over the top of the pencil liner you just put on.
• Put a thick, full coat of mascara on…LOVE lashes! 
• Take an eye cream and clean up all the shadow that has fallen under the eye.
• Apply some powder under the eye – don't blend it in all the way. The loose powder will help clean up any extra shadow from the eye application that we are going to do on the bottom lashes right now. 
• Take your midtone shade again and, using and eyeshadow brush, apply right against the base of the lash line. 
• Take your black pencil and line on the inside, wet tissue of the eye (on the bottom lash line – not the top)
• With eyeliner brush, take the tiniest bit of your charcoal eyeshadow shade and very carefully apply it right to the base of the lashes (again, the bottom lashes).
• Clean off all the extra powder….and you're beautified!!

A close-set eye is when the space between the eyes is less than one eye-width. The ideal space between the eyes should be approximately the width of one eye. If you have close-set eyes, that space needs to appear farther apart. Here's how to do just that! 

The Goal

The goal with the close-set eye is to create the illusion that the eyes are farther apart.

Top Tips

• You will want to keep the inside corners of the eyes and the areas closest to your nose as light as possible. This will help visually push the eyes apart.
• Concentrate the darker shades on the outer corner of the eyes. Always, always, always elongate your darkest shadows to help pull the eyes apart.

How to Apply in 3 Easy Steps (you'll need three eyeshadow shades):    

1. Highlight  Shade:
Apply the highlight shade to the eyelid and the brow bone. Also, apply the highlight shade to the inside corner of the lower lash line. This helps open up the eyes, making them appear larger and more youthful (bonus!). Please note: this step is IMPERATIVE for close-set eyes because it really helps visually push the eyes apart.

2. Midtone Shade:
Starting at the outside corner of the crease, bring the color in toward the inside corner. You will only want to bring the color in three-quarters of the way across the eye. Why? Because we do not want to deepen the inside corner of the lid – this would defeat our goal! So…apply midtone along the lower lash line, starting from the outside corner and brushing toward the inside corner. This helps create some beautiful definition and produces a better blend when applying the contour shade and eyeliner. 

3. Contour Shade:
Sweep the contour shade across the base of the upper lash line and up into the outer are of the crease. Be sure to elongate this shade because it will help pull the eyes apart. Again, confine this shade to the outer corners of the eye – never, never, never bring it more than a third of the way in. Then simply sweep it underneath the lower lash line for definition.
