Why Classic Brown Smokey Eye?

The Classic Brown Smokey Eye is a makeup staple for good reason. It enhances the natural shape of your eyes, adds depth and dimension, and complements a wide range of skin tones. With warm brown tones that exude warmth and sophistication, this timeless look is flattering on everyone and can be customized to suit your personal style and preference.

Step 1: Prime and Prep

Start by prepping your eyelids with a quality eyeshadow primer like the Eye Primer from Makeup Studio Pro. This will create a smooth base for your eyeshadow, help prevent creasing, and ensure long-lasting wear. Apply a small amount of the eye primer to your lids and blend it evenly with your fingertips or a makeup brush.

Step 2: Define the Crease

Using a matte medium brown eyeshadow like the Makeup Studio Pro Eyeshadow in Box in the shade B 23, define your crease by applying the color with a fluffy blending brush in a windshield wiper motion. Focus the color on the outer corner of your eye and gradually blend it towards the inner corner, building up the intensity as desired. This step adds depth and dimension to your eyes, creating the perfect canvas for the smokey effect.

Step 3: Smoke Out the Outer Corner

Next, deepen the outer corner of your eye by applying a darker brown eyeshadow shade like the B Dark brown or a soft black shade. Use a smaller blending brush to concentrate the color on the outer V of your eyelid, blending it gently into the crease. This will create a subtle gradient effect and add definition to your eyes, enhancing their shape and allure.

Step 4: Lid Color Pop

For the lid color, choose a shimmering bronze or golden brown eyeshadow shade like the Eyeshadow Lumiere (Golden Brown)

to add a touch of luminosity and glamor to your look. Apply the eyeshadow to the center of your eyelid using a flat shader brush or your fingertip, patting it onto the lid for maximum pigmentation and shine. Blend the color softly into the crease to seamlessly transition from matte to shimmer.

Step 5: Line and Define

To complete the Classic Brown Smokey Eye, line your upper lash line with a rich brown or black eyeliner pencil. Create a smooth, winged effect by extending the line slightly beyond the outer corner of your eye and smudging it softly for a smoldering finish. For added intensity, you can also tightline your upper waterline with the eyeliner to define your lashes.

Step 6: Lashes and Mascara

Finish off your look by curling your lashes with an eyelash curler and applying several coats of volumizing mascara like the Mascara Ultimate Curl to your upper and lower lashes. This will open up your eyes, add drama and depth, and complete the Classic Brown Smokey Eye with a fluttery, glamorous touch.

Final Touches

To enhance the overall look, you can add a pop of highlighter to your brow bone and inner corner of your eyes to brighten and lift your features. Optionally, you can also define your brows with a brow pencil or powder to frame your eyes and add structure to your face.
