For a formal occasion or a night out on the town, try the dramatic eye makeup effect of smoky eyes. These eyes will make an even bolder statement with navy blue makeup.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Navy blue eyeliner
  • Dark blue eye shadow
  • Light blue eye shadow
  • 1 small makeup brush
  • 1 medium makeup brush
  1. Step 1

    Begin with face makeup. Apply base, concealer and powder to the eye area. If you do not wear base or concealer, powder the eye area well. This will help to set the makeup and make it last longer.

  2. Step 2

    Line the bottom and top eyelashes carefully with eyeliner. Use a navy blue pencil. Keep the line close to your lashes. Blend with your fingertip or a cotton stick to soften the lines.

  3. Step 3

    Trace over the eyeliner with the dark blue eye shadow using the small makeup brush. On the top lid, concentrate on the outer corners of the eye to create a cat's eye look. Keep the line on the lower lid thin. Blend the edges of the line well, in outward strokes.

  4. Step 4

    Use the medium makeup brush to dust the lighter shade of blue eye shadow over the entire upper lid. Try a shimmery shade. Blend the lines in outward strokes.

  5. Step 5

    Finish the smoky eye look by applying black mascara to the upper and lower lashes. Allow the first coat to dry completely. Add another layer to the tops lashes.

  6. Step 6

    Watch your makeup throughout the night. If the blue eyeliner or shadow runs to the under eye area, it will create hideous shadows under the eye.
