Beginners Warm Smokey Eye Makeup Tutorial | Parts Of The Eye | How To Apply Eyeshadow

today I'm gonna show you how to create a basic smoky eye this is a beautiful warm smoky eye perfect for this time of year everyone can try this out it's very easy so let's get started as always we're gonna start off the look with some eye shadow primer if you don't have eye shadow primer apply it a little bit of your concealer and then setting powder over the top it won't last as long as primer but it will still make a great base now we're using more my shadows for this I'm using orangey tones leave a light shade which is about one shade lighter than my skin tone we have our contour shade which needs to be at least one shade darker than your skin tone but for me this is a lot darker than my skin because I want that smoky dark effect and then we have a medium shade so this is in-between your light and your dark this is why it's often referred to as a transition shade or as I like to call it a mid-tone and then we have this vibrant Orange this is gonna be a great blending shade and I like to refer to this as a fade shade and you will also need two brushes a pencil brush and a blending brush we don't have a pencil brush you can always use a q-tip or a sponge tip applicator well you do need to have a good blending brush if you want to do a smoky eye so we are gonna start off with the medium shade which is the mid-tone or transition shade we're gonna sweep this over the eye using our blending brush so grab your blending brush pick up a little bit of product and we're gonna start on the outer edge of the eye and work this over and back slightly onto the lid and then into the crease of the eye so you want the concentration to be right in that crease bring it slightly onto the lid as well and then blending upwards towards the brows so pick up a little bit of product build this up as you go making sure that every time you press the brush onto the lid you're starting on the outer edge anywhere you put your brush down first we'll give you the most amount of product so you want to start in the outer edge and then blend in now I want you to take your brush and I want you to lift your hand slightly higher so you're coming more at the face at a horizontal motion this will keep your blends nice and low so the higher your hand the lower the blend also you want to keep within these blending points if you haven't seen it already I did an in-depth video all about eye shadow which I'll link in the box and at the top of the screen but for those of you who have already seen that this is just a little reminder to keep within your points now we're gonna take our dark shade and we're gonna take that pencil brush and as you can see I've only coated the edge of one side of the brush because we're gonna be stamping this onto the lash line so I'm taking my hand resting it on my cheek so you want to keep this nice and low right by the lashes keeping your eyes slightly downwards and looking in a mirror and you want to stamp this along your lash line don't lend this up too high just yet just really coat right by the lashes you basically want to keep this dark shadow below the halfway point of the lid don't worry about blending just yet just really pack on that shadow so you should end up with something that looks like this and then what we can do is take our brush don't pick up any additional product and just press and smudge to blur out this line so it slightly Rises upwards and blends into nothing making sure to keep that really dark shade right at the lash line then we're going to take that orange shade we're gonna apply this using that blending brush we're sweeping this right where the dark shade meets that mid-tone that we already applied and what this will do is it will soften out everything and fade everything for you that's why I like to refer to it as a fade shade so I've only code in one side of the brush and I'm tilting slightly upwards so we're almost blending upwards into the crease moving up towards the brow bone but you can also go over the top of the contour that you applied and it will add a slightly different tone as well but just keep that blending motion nice and smooth don't put too much pressure on the brush and don't use too much product either a little goes a long way then finish off with your highlighter shade on that inner corner and underneath the brows and there you go a classic warm smoky eye there's any other looks that you'd like me to show you guys how to create definitely let me know check out the other videos on the screen hit that subscribe button and I'll see you in the next one
