How To: The Easiest Smoky Eye, Ever!

The smoky eye is one of those iconic make-up looks that we all strive to master – for better or worse. The more intricate looks require skill and technique, but we’ve created this super easy one you can try at home – using just one key product!

Step 1:

Grab your favourite kohl pencil – we’re partial to Lord & Berry’s Couture Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil in Black for its easy-to-blend jet black formula. Begin by drawing a fine line along the lash line from the inner-corner of the eye to the edge, flicking out at the end. Tip: Prep lids using Benefit’s Stay Don’t Stray to keep make-up in place for longer.

Step 2:

Add a second line directly parallel to the first.

Step 3:

Draw a curved line following the natural crease of the eyelid halfway across the lid.

Step 4:

Draw a second curved line below the crease.

Step 5:

Now comes the fun: blend the eyeliner with your ring finger –if you want, you can use a fluffy blending brush instead.

Step 6:

On the lower lid, run the kohl inside your waterline and under the lash line.

Step 7:

Gently blend again with your finger or a small stubby blending brush.

Step 8:

Add lashings of mascara to complete the look. And there you have it – easy peasy!
