Gorgeous smokey eye makeup looks to bookmark now and recreate later

Few makeup looks are more classic than the smokey eye. As it works well with pretty much any colour palette, it’s an incredibly versatile choice that can be adapted to suit different eye colours and complexions.

Not only that, but a smokey eye is often easier to create than you might think. For easy makeup looks, all you need are two shades of shadow – one being noticeably darker to create the dimension – and, depending on how intense and defined you'd like the final result to be, a pencil liner that can be smudged a little when first applied. You'll also want to apply a good eyeshadow primer before moving on to your shadow to ensure everything stays in place.
