Apply an eye shadow primer all over the upper eyelid and below the lower eyelid. Allow it to dry and then apply a concealer that suits your skin tone and you may use your finger tips or a soft angular brush to apply it evenly. Then use a light/ neutral colored eye shadow, say white, and apply it all over the upper lid till the brow bone. This eye shadow should be extremely light so that it can be properly blended and make your eye lids look clean and prominent. Do not use any glitter based eye shadow as it looks really messy on smokey eyes. Rather use a shimmer based color.

Use brushes or cotton balls/ pads to remove any extra powder which might have fallen on the face. Now apply the black eye shadow to the lower lash line. Gently smudge it with a brush or your finger tips. Apply the lighter eye shadow below the lower lash line and smudge it.
Apply a black mascara twice or thrice to your eyelashes to make them look long, thick and curly. We recommend going with Dior for some of the best mascara out there.
Some tips to go with smokey eyes are
- You must use a nude color lipstick so that the entire focus is on your smokey eyes. Your lips should not be too dark so as to snatch attention.
