MAC Cosmetics - How to Achieve the Smokey Eye Look

You've seen the Smokey Eye look in magazines, photo shoots, and perhaps during a night on the town. Now you can achieve this look using MAC Cosmetics and a few tips and techniques found here.

What you'll need:

Foundation / Concealer
MAC Cosmetics Brush - Soft, such as the MAC 224 Brush
MAC Brush - Smaller, soft brush
Medium Tone Eye Color - Try MAC Smokey Gray
Dark Tone Eye Color - Try Dark Matte Violet Shadow from MAC
Highlight - Try a Shiny, Pale Pink

Instructions to Achieve the Smokey Eye Look using only MAC Cosmetics tools and make up:


Use foundation or concealer on the eye lid. This will help the eye color stick to your eye and create a bolder effect.

Start with your medium tone MAC eye shadow, such as a smokey gray. Using a medium sized, soft brush, such as the MAC 224 brush, sweep your eye color across your eye lid.

Apply a darker eye shadow, such as the MAC Dark Matte Violet Shadow, using a smaller cosmetics brush. Apply the eye color to the outer corner and inner corner of the eyelid.

Now it's time for the highlight. Apply a lighter color, preferably something with shimmer such as a shiny pale pink, using a small cosmetics brush to the center of the eye lid by pressing lightly.

Softly buff the darker and lighter colors together to blend the different shades. However, be careful not to over blend, as you'll just mix the colors together and ruin the effect.

Repeat the steps above when applying your eye makeup underneath your eye. However, be careful to use much less make up.

Voila! You have now achieved the smokey eye look using MAC tools and make-up!
