Hoe je een smokey eye maakt met Crown oogschaduwpaletten: stap-voor-stap handleiding

The smokey eye is a timeless makeup look that adds depth, drama, and sophistication to any occasion. Whether you're heading to a night out or a special event, mastering this technique can elevate your makeup game. With Crownbrush's high-pigment eyeshadow palettes, achieving a seamless smokey eye has never been easier. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to create a sultry, blendable smokey eye using Crown eyeshadow palettes, including the Cocoa Eyeshadow Palette - GES01 and the Smoke it Out Eyeshadow Palette - GES12.

Before you start, ensure you have a good eyeshadow primer to lock in color and prevent creasing. Crownbrush offers a range of primers that work perfectly with their eyeshadows. Now, let's dive into the step-by-step process.

Step 1: Prep Your Eyelids

Start by applying an eyeshadow primer all over your eyelids, from lash line to brow bone. This creates a smooth base and intensifies the color payoff. If you don't have a primer, a concealer set with translucent powder works as a substitute. Allow the primer to dry for a few seconds before moving on.

For a classic smokey eye, you'll want to keep the brow bone area clean. Use a small amount of concealer to carve out the brow bone and blend downward to the crease. This step helps define the shape and makes blending easier.

Step 2: Build the Transition Shade

Choose a matte, medium-toned brown from your palette. For example, the Cocoa Eyeshadow Palette - GES01 includes a perfect transition shade called 'Cocoa'. Using a fluffy blending brush, apply the shade to your crease in windshield-wiper motions. Focus on the outer V and blend inward to soften any harsh lines.

The key to a smokey eye is seamless blending. Take your time and build up the color gradually. If you need more depth, layer the same shade or choose a slightly darker matte brown. Remember to blend the edges into the brow bone for a gradient effect.

• Use a clean, fluffy brush to blend out any harsh edges.

Step 3: Deepen the Outer Corner

Now it's time to add the 'smoke'. Pick a dark matte shade like charcoal or black from your palette. The Smoke it Out Eyeshadow Palette - GES12 has a rich 'Smoke' shade that's ideal for this step. Using a smaller, denser brush, pat the dark shade onto the outer corner of your eye, creating a V shape. Then, blend it inward toward the center of the crease using a clean blending brush.

For extra intensity, you can also apply the dark shade along the lower lash line. Use a pencil brush to smudge it close to the lashes, connecting it to the outer corner. This creates a cohesive, smoky effect that frames the eye beautifully.

• Tap off excess product before applying to avoid fallout.

Step 4: Add Shimmer to the Lid

A smokey eye often features a shimmer or metallic shade on the center of the lid to catch the light. Choose a champagne, gold, or silver shimmer from your palette. Using a flat shader brush, pat the shimmer onto the center of your eyelid, avoiding the crease. Blend the edges into the dark outer corner for a smooth transition.

If you want a more dramatic look, you can also apply a shimmer shade to the inner corner of the eye to brighten and open up the eyes. The Cocoa Eyeshadow Palette - GES01 includes a beautiful shimmer that works perfectly for this.

• Use a damp brush for a more intense shimmer payoff.

Step 5: Line and Define

To complete the smokey eye, line your upper lash line with a black gel or pencil liner. Tightline the upper waterline for added depth. You can also smudge the liner with a small brush to soften it. For the lower lash line, use the dark shadow you applied earlier or a matching liner to smudge along the outer half.

Finish with two coats of volumizing mascara on your top and bottom lashes. For an extra touch, consider adding false lashes for a more dramatic effect. Crownbrush also offers a range of lashes that pair beautifully with this look.
