The one thing that bothers everyone and Me is the fact that smokey eyes sounds more intricate than it already is. Specially because of my hooded eyes. And oily lids. So many of my friends and readers have told me the same thing. Laying out a beautiful colorful smokey eye can be easily achieved. but how to make it stay? how to wear it during the day? how to reduce fallouts? And what about making it stay on oily lids?
Every eye shape is different, every lid shape is different too. It all depends on the face structure and the personal style too. If a girl is simple and delicate in her personal sense then a heavy smokey eye will look really odd on her. Here blending is the key. When in doubt blend, blend & blend some more. Here is an easy peasy smokey eye for you using minimal products & which can be worn with anything and anytime of the day!
A mascara is really needed for these type of eye looks to open the eyes & make lashes look super fun!!!

Hope you liked it! Do share your go-to look ideas!
the key is to blend..blend..blend and only blend for smokey eyes..so true! i see so many looks which look harsh bcoz they are not blended well enough to give that soft effect! ooh that sephora palette looks nice!
Thanks Pari…i know re. And it bleeds less too. Less smudging.
I just saw, the sephora one is the only decent palette I have 🙂
Lovely post! I too have hooded eyes, so what I do while applying the eyeshadow in the crease is that my eyes open while applying it so that I know exactly where its going and how much higher I need it to be.This really helped me figuring out the best shape for my face. Loved your smokey eyes look.
even I do that a lot. I’ll wear good colors on the outer crease & leave the lid bare. 5 min mein khatam . hehehe
I agree that blending is very imp!
Liked this post a lot:)
Thanks so much Shivi!
