What you need

Steps

  1. Prime your eyelids with a thin layer of eyeshadow primer and set it with a light powder. This stops the brown shades from creasing and fading.

  2. Sweep a warm mid-brown through the crease with a fluffy blending brush. Use small circles and keep the edge soft.

  3. Pack a dark brown or charcoal shade onto the outer corner and along the lash line with a flat brush. Blend it inward so the two browns merge.

  4. Blend the outer edge with a clean brush until there are no hard lines. Add a lighter shade to the inner lid and brow bone for contrast.

  5. Draw a thin winged liner along the upper lash line and flick it slightly upward at the outer corner. Keep both wings level.

  6. Curl your lashes, apply mascara, then place false lashes close to your natural lash line. Press the band down while the glue is still tacky.

  7. Clean up any shadow fall on the cheeks with concealer, then set the under-eye area with powder.

  8. Line your lips with a nude liner, fill in with a peachy-brown lipstick and blend the edges for a soft finish.

Tips and common mistakes

Build the dark shade in thin layers rather than one heavy coat so you can control the intensity.

Hold a tissue under your eye while applying dark shadow to catch fallout.

Check both eyes in natural light before you finish, since indoor lighting can hide uneven blending.

Questions

Can I do this look without false lashes?

Yes. Curl your lashes well and use two coats of volumising mascara. The smoky eye still works, though lashes add the bridal glam finish.

What if my smoky eye looks too dark?

Blend a light matte shade over the outer edge and soften the line with a clean brush. You can also tap a little translucent powder over the lid.

How do I make it last all day at a wedding?

Use an eyeshadow primer, set with powder and choose a long-wear liner. Keep a small blending brush and your lipstick with you for touch-ups.
