Stila: smokey eyes made easy

Using black or gray eyeshadow to achieve smokey eyes is now passe.  The latest is to use many shades of the same colour.   A minimum of three shades in light, medium and dark tones at least, and if you want extra effect, you can blend as many as five.   

And here’s a simple 4-step approach to achieve your own smokey eyes with a trio of colours.

1. Apply the lightest colour as base to the entire eye area, from eyebrow to lashline.
2. Using an eyeshadow brush that fits comfortably into the crease of your eye socket, blend the medium colour over the outer half of your eyelid. 
3. Dampen the tip of a narrow brush, dip it in the darkest colour and dot along the upper lash line, three quarters of the way in, then smudge it down into the lashes.
4. Curl your eyelashes, then add mascara.
