Makeup noobs, listen up! This is the easiest way to do a smokey eye

Classic, bold, dramatic... words fall short when it comes to describing this eye makeup look.  The smokey eye can be pretty hard to nail, but not anymore. If you’re a makeup newbie, our BB beauty ninja Shanaya Sardesai has a quick and easy tutorial to get that smokey eye right without having to worry about looking like a panda.

Step 1: Start by applying concealer all over your lids and set it with a powder.

Step 2: Take a black kajal and apply it all over your eyelids.

Step 3: Now with a blending brush start smudging the kajal to make it look seamless. Work on one eye at a time because once the kajal sets, it’ll be slightly difficult for you to smudge it.

Make sure to blend well to avoid any harsh lines. Especially while doing a smokey eye, blending the colour plays a very important role.

Step 4: Set your kajal with a black eyeshadow. The shadow helps set the colour and gives your eyes a soft finish.

Step 5: Now use a brown eyeshadow and apply it to your crease using a blending brush. This will be your transition shade, which will help give you that smokey look. 

Step 6:  Apply the same black shadow under your waterline, blending downwards. Finish off with kajal in the waterline.

 Step 7: Apply highlighter on the inner corner of your eyes and on the brow bone to give your eyes that extra dimension.

 Step 8: Finally, add some mascara and you are good to go!
