A smokey eye is the epitome of seductiveness. Um, no. It resembles cosmetics more than an LBD and a pair of seductive stilettos. This variation, which was inspired by Zendaya and COVERGIRL, mixes chocolate shadow and a very easy hack to accentuate your seductive stare while keeping the rest of your appearance basic yet interesting. The best thing is that it is simpler and quicker to learn than you may imagine.
1. Ace Your Base: To get an airbrushed look that is #no facetune-worthy, use a fluffy foundation brush to apply and mix a matte base (such as COVERGIRL Clean Matte Foundation) all over.
2. Get In Line: Use a soft black pencil, such as COVERGIRL TruNaked Eyeliner Duo in Mocha Ebony, to trace along your upper and lower lash lines.
3. Flip Your Lid: Use the brown side of your COVERGIRL TruNaked Eyeliner Duo pencil to draw a hashtag sign across your eyelids (double duty for the win!). Then, using a blending brush or the tip of your finger, gently smooth out the color as if it were eyeshadow. It lays the groundwork for the following phase.
4. Throw Shade: Apply deep brown eyeliner to your lower lash line and sweep it over your top lid. Try a lighter shade of cappuccino if you’re a touch color-averse; the COVERGIRL TruNaked Eye Shadow Palette in Nudes will offer all the smoky tones you need to customize this look.
