BEAUTY BASICS | Simple Daytime Smokey Eye

BEAUTY
December 19 2011
A look I often sport. It’s simple, and I’m sure everyone can have a go! All that is required is the right blending technique, a little smudged smoky layer, and you’re good. If you want, you can amp it up by increasing the black on the outer corner or even add more liner to the lower lash line to make it even more smokier…it’s up to you!
This is just how I achieve mine! 🙂
