Things You'll Need

• Makeup primer
• Trish McEvoy Smokey Eye Brush
• Black or dark gray powder eyeshadow
• Eyeshadow smudging tool
• Makeup sealer
• Mascara

Instructions

1. Apply a dab of makeup primer on your eyelids. Allow the primer to dry for a minute before you start to apply your makeup.

2. Sweep your Trish McEvoy Smokey Eye Brush across the surface of your dark powder eyeshadow.

3. Place the curved portion of the brush against the base of your eyelid and work toward the crease of your eyes.

4. Build the line of eyeshadow thicker if you prefer a more dramatic, smokey look to your makeup.

5. Draw a thin line of eyeshadow beneath your lower lashes with the Trish McEvoy brush.

6. Smudge the eyeshadow and blend it in with an eyeshadow smudging tool.

7. Add a few strokes of mascara onto your upper and lower lashes to finish off your look.

8. Add a makeup sealer to your eye makeup. This will prevent your makeup from running or bleeding over the course of your day.

Tips & Warnings

• If you mess up, you can erase mistakes with precision using a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover.

• Eyeliner is another tool that can add more flair to a smokey-eye look.

• Don't forget to sanitize your makeup brushes at least once a week to prevent bacteria from festering.
