A smokey eye is one of the most basic and go-to styles when it comes to eye makeup. It can liven up your face, make you look a certain way, and it takes just three eyeshadow colours (and probably an eyeliner) to make that happen. A smokey eye is generally everyone’s go-to for when they’re heading for a night out or for a formal event. But what if we told you to hit pause, for a second, because there’s a new style of the smokey eye in town?
With Instagram being our OG source of news, info and trends of the world, we, as editors look to it for all kinds of cool styles and trends. For the beauty part, hair stylist and makeup artist are the ones we look up to. They come up with hacks, tips and liven things up a bit with their techniques and knowledge… Which brings us to the new way they’re creating a smokey eye!
