"Smoky eyes" for green eyes

The original makeup called “smoky eyes”, or “smoky eyes”, has become very popular lately. In addition to its classic version, made in the title smoke-black tones, there are also color varieties. His technique is simple enough to use it every day, and the impression is how peculiar that the number of supporters of this type of makeup is growing all the time.

Proper application of smoky make-up requires consideration of the shade of green eyes, hair color and skin of a girl. Since green eyes endow their owner with a certain mystery and mystical appeal, the “smoky eyes” technique can enhance this impression.

The appearance of this make-up forced women to reconsider the traditional views on the compatibility of its hue and eye color. First of all, this is due precisely to the contrasting nature of this type of make-up, which allows to emphasize the depth of the eyes on the general tender background of the face. An additional bonus is the ability to correct some imperfections of the appearance, for example, to visually enlarge the eyes, change their shape or fit.

“Smoky eyes” is a light make-up, which is dominated by soft natural tones, but it is not without a game of contrasts. The main rule of this type of make-up is the absence of clear lines and sharp transitions from one color to another. At the same time, the eyes are encircled with a dark pencil along the lash line, and black mascara is thickly applied on the eyelashes themselves.

The overall tone of the face should be smooth, matte, light natural shade. Only the eyes are underlined with a dark (usually brown or black) pencil and shadows of the same gamma. The intensity of their color is minimal at the eyebrow line and gradually increases with the transition to the upper eyelid.

Although initially “smoky eyes” was created as an evening make-up, it can also be used as a day one, choosing the appropriate tone for the setting. The shades chosen for a day make-up are softer and lighter than for an evening make-up. Inherent in the latter noticeable contrast will be superfluous in the framework of the everyday image.
