When applying your eye makeup for the work day, try taking a more subtle approach to the same beautiful smokey eye look that turns so many heads during your nights out on the town! Just because it is a dramatic look doesn’t mean it cannot be applied in a more work appropriate manor. Try using the following eye makeup tip from fashion and beauty writer, Kimberly Sterling. She gives us some great advice about how to achieve gorgeous day-time eyes!
Smokey Eye to the Office
When wearing a smokey eye in the workplace, it’s best to tone it down with earthy colors. Black can sometimes come across as very harsh and is considered more of a “night-out” look.
Instead, opt for colors such as: brown, gray, navy blue.
How to apply:
To get a sultry smokey brown eye, use a light brown shadow across the entire lid, a mid-brown shadow in the crease, and a darker brown shadow on the outer corner of the eye. Then, line the eye with either a pencil, liquid, or shadow, or cream liner in a dark brown shade.
Apply mascara (in black, brown, or the color of your choosing) and you instantly have a smokey brown eye, perfectly suited for the workplace!
