S mokey eye makeup is one beauty trend that has been in existence for ages and right now it’s having a major moment across the globe. Sure, it is not a look we can rock every day but we can not deny that for special occasions and evening events, it has the ability to take your look from “oh nice” to “oh wow!” 

One of the reasons the smoky eye makeup look has remained so popular for so long is its versatility. Smoky eyes do not only come in the signature black but can be done in almost every color palette out there. Gray, blue, burgundy — you name it, you can smoke it. In addition, things can also be spiced up with a mix of colors. The intensity of your smoky eye is also a matter of choice as you’ll see in this list. smokey eyes

While smoky eyes are one of the most popular makeup looks, it can be very tricky to achieve when you don’t know the right techniques to use. The trick to mastering a perfect smoky look is choosing the right color for your skin tone; choosing a lighter shade for transitioning and most importantly, blending! Great blending is the major key here. How well you blend the eye shadow tones into your eyelids determines whether or not your smoky look ends up hot or hmm.

For your inspiration, we have curated 19 sultry smoky eye makeup looks we spotted on the celebs and beauty influencers. Plus, we’ve also included a great tutorial by Keyshia Biggz to help you master the art. You’re welcome.

Beauty tip: Add some sparkle to your look with a metallic gold or silver eyeshadow around your tear duct. Then, line the circumference of the metallic shadow with a black liner for some drama.

Beauty tip: Colorful smoky eyes are fire. You can add more flair to your look with colorful eyeliner across your waterline. Whether you match the liner with the tones in your smoky eye or you choose a contrasting color, the effect is the same.

Beauty tip: Subtle smoky eyes are a thing, especially if you’re not the girl who loves full-on drama. A little stroke of dark eyeshadow just behind your top and lower lashes is all you need to nail the look.
