How to nail a messy smokey eye makeup look
Darkside waterproof gel liner, $31, Anastasia Beverly Hills
The most important step of a good smokey eye is a quality liner. Run a messy line across your lash line with a blendable formula such as this waterproof liner from the experts at Anastasia Beverly Hills, and extend the line towards your temples. When trying to nail a winged liner you want to aim for the top of your ear.
Finish by tight-lining both your top and bottom waterlines to intensify the look and create a perfectly purposeful undone eye look.
Classic Smudge Brush 10, $30, Sephora
Once you've applied your gel liner, you can use a smudge brush like this one from Sephora to blend out harsh lines and create more of an ombre effect that creates a more seamless look. You can also use these smudge brushes to blend the eyeliner and an eyeshadow of your choice together.
Huda Beauty Pretty Grunge eyeshadow palette, $119, Sephora
If you really want to nail the grungey undone beauty of the 90s then this cool-toned limited edition palette from Huda Beauty is a must-buy. It offers mattes that are great for blending out liner with and shimmers to add some oomph, as well as a black cream shade to spread over the lid for a cool wet, smokey look.
L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Clean Definition mascara, $28.99, Adore Beauty
Of course, no smokey eye is complete without layers and layers of mascara. Using darker tones around the eyes can sometimes make our lashes disappear so we're after a lengthening formula that can make those eyelashes stand out.
Brow Cheat eyebrow pencil, $48, Charlotte Tilbury
Make sure to finish the look with some expertly groomed brows using this easy-to-use brow pencil from Charlotte Tilbury that allows you to draw on natural brow hairs to fill out sparse spots.
