Smoky/Dramatic Eye

Prep:

  • Apply foundation as usual.
  • Apply a light dusting of blush (if prone to redness, avoid pink tones).
  • Fill in eyebrow if needed.
  • Apply a light, flesh toned shadow like Trucco's In Pale, Luminesse, or Spirit to entire lid and under brow.

Tip: If you are worried about accentuating wrinkles use matte shadows, avoid shimmer.

Steps:

  1. With a grey shadow like in Trucco's Swingers duo apply to lower lid by pressing in with a flat eyeshadow brush.




  2. Apply a black eyeshadow like Trucco's Moonshade or a darker grey shadow to crease and outer corner using a pressing motion.

    For a lighter look: blend black or darker grey in with an eyeshadow brush in a sweeping motion. For a more dramatic look: add more black and barely blend the outside edges.




  3. Line upper lash line with black eyeliner. Line the lower lash line with the grey shadow. For a more dramatic look: line the lower lashline with the black shadow.

    Apply black mascara to both upper and lower lashes.




  4. Softly line lips with a pale liner like Trucco's Babydoll lip pencil.

    Apply a light gloss like Trucco's Babydoll lipgloss.
