![]() This particular shade has a light sheen to it, so it ended up doubling as a good shade to diffuse the crease color as well as to highlight the brow bone. If necessary, I’ll pick up a bit more product to soften and blend out where it seems needed. Afterward, I swept the brush back and forth in soft, fluid motions from inner crease to above the outer crease once. Then, I moved the brush upward (without getting any additional product) and diffused the brow bone shade upward and outward toward the edge of the tail of my brow. First, I placed the brush along the outer portion of my eye, just above where we placed the crease color, and diffuse outward. The Technique: Using a similar technique as in step 1, pick up a moderate amount of Bare in Mind Eyeshadow, a soft, light-medium beige with a satin finish. If you’re using a more powdery formula, I recommend using something denser (often why I’ll use a tapered crease brush!) for initial placement or else the eyeshadow can get everywhere. The Tool: We’ll be sticking with the tapered crease brush from step 1, but you could also use a fluffy, blending brush (like Wayne Goss 17). Warm Smokey Eye Makeup Tutorial | Step 2 Step 2: Diffuse the Crease Color & Highlight the Brow Bone You want a decent blend, but we’ll be applying another shade above the warm, mid-tone brown to help diffuse and create a gradient up to the brow bone in the next step, so don’t spend forever diffusing this one shade. Always make sure to blend less than you think, take a step back and view the blending from a normal distance, and then go back in as necessary. ![]() I find that the edge closer to the lid tends to diffuse on its own (and is typically covered up by other eyeshadows, so a perfect gradient is unnecessary). Using the slanted portion of the tapered crease, gently sweep the brush back-and-forth in very short, feathery movements against the edge that closest to the brow bone. This keeps the concentration of the color in the center and enables us to blend and diffuse the color outward, inward, and upward. Place the tapered edge just above the deepest (must sunken) part of the crease and start about halfway from the crease gently sweeping (no swirling, no circling, no pushing) the brush outward over the crease to pull and diffuse the color outward. The Technique: Gently swirl and tap a tapered crease brush into Sweet as Honey eyeshadow, a warm, mid-tone brown with a matte finish. Sharper points tend to work best for placing more intense, opaque color into the crease and using a fluffier brush to diffuse and blend. The edge should have some shape but not be too pointed the sharper the point, the more precise the application and the less diffusion there will be. The Tool: I like using a soft, tapered crease brush–about medium in size–like Wayne Goss 17 (you can find other options from my must-have crease makeup brushes). For adding depth, I tend to prefer applying as one of my last steps, but if preferred, you can read through step 6 and insert it between step 1 and 2! I tend to layer colors in my crease and place them so that I can get particular deep color in the deepest part of my crease with color gradually fading upward toward the brow bone (deep crease, crease, above crease, and brow bone). By laying down color into the crease first, I minimize how much shimmer from the lid gets diffused and blended into my crease since I shouldn’t have to do much blending (if any) at the end of the look. Alternatively, working with mattes before shimmers is another way to think about it. Step 1: Apply Color to the Creaseįor most looks, I prefer applying crease colors prior to anything else. ![]() I used three brushes: a medium-sized, tapered crease brush ( Wayne Goss 17), small, tapered crease brush ( Wayne Goss 19), and a flat eyeshadow brush ( Smith 253) for the tutorial. I wanted to create a fairly generic, warm neutral look with a slightly smoky outer corner and lash line, so it should be easy to replicate with a slew of products, but I specifically used Milani’s Bold Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette and Urban Decay’s Perversion 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil. You might also want to take a look at this eye makeup diagram if you are unfamiliar with certain terminology (like crease, brow bone, etc.). For me, after many years of practice and familiar with my eye shape, this look takes me five to ten minutes per eye. The look showcased in a warm, smokey eye that uses a light-to-dark gradient on the lid and layers mid-tone to deep shades in the crease for depth.
