A seamless smokey eye makeup look is one that's stood the test of time. "The beauty of a smokey eye is that it's so versatile and can be adapted to different moods and occasions," agrees celebrity and bridal makeup artist Shradha Luthra. Our comprehensive guide to mastering the smokey eye makeup look includes tips on nailing the basics, different types of smokey eyes, the ideal way to apply eyeshadow depending on your eye shape, and the best smokey eye makeup products worth investing in. "Smokey eye makeup isn't about perfection, it's about creating that soft, lived-in diffusion of colour that feels sultry yet effortless," explains Luthra."People often overthink it, but it's really about patience, layering, and blending until the edges melt away, for a soft diffused look. If the eyes are bold and smokey, keep the rest of your makeup softer so the look feels modern and chic."
