Talking about the smokey eye look, no one does it better than Kareena Kapoor Khan. The actress has been spotted wearing this eye look on various occasions and events.

Kareena’s glamorous smokey eye

Steps to achieve Kareena’s glamorous smokey eye:

Step 01: Start with a primer, take a tiny dot for each eyelid and spread evenly. If you have oily eyelids, pick a primer that gives a matte finish like the Lakmé Absolute Blur Perfect Primer; this lightweight formula gives a smooth matte finish.

Step 02: Pick an eyeshadow palette with neutral brown and black shades to create the smokey eye look. We recommend the Lakmé Absolute Infinity Eye shadow Palette - Midnight Magic for this. Use a neutral brown eyeshadow that’s two shades darker than your skin tone as the base.

Step 03: Now, take the black eyeshadow from the same palette and apply it on your upper eyelid close to the lash line.

Step 04: Blend well to soften the look.

Step 05: Repeat steps 04 and 05 if you wish to create a bolder look.

Step 06: To add definition, apply the same colour on the lower lash line.

Step 07: Finish off the look with your favourite kajal and mascara.
