If you do one thing this party season, make it a smoky eye. It’s a timeless makeup look that’ll get you noticed and cause serious makeup envy from every girl in the room. Executing the perfect smoky eye comes down to two things: using the right brushes and choosing shades that suit your eye colour. To find out how to create a next-level smoky eye for your eye colour, first watch the video above to learn how to prep your base. Then, find the step-by-step tutorial created specifically for your eye colour below.
Smoky eye for blue eyes
This smoky eye might look complicated, but it’s really easy to recreate! Bronzed shadows look amazing on blue eyes. Blending a copper tone into the outer corner of your eyes with the Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush will bring those baby blues to life.

Smoky eye for green eyes
A black smoky eye will always be in fashion but for a killer smoky eye that’s super flattering, use shades that accentuate your eye colour. Purple shades are my pick to make green eyes stand out. I used the Real Techniques Accent Brush to blend a deep purple along the outer corner of the lower lash line to make those green peepers really pop.

Smoky eye for brown eyes
Brown eyes look amazing with darker shades, so blending is especially important for brown-eyed girls. If you’ve never been great at blending, try using the Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush which makes blending eyeshadow effortless. A navy smoky eye is my favorite look for brown eyes.

Smoky eye for hazel eyes
Hazel eyes have specks of different colours in them and look stunning when you enhance them through a variety of different eyeshadow shades. To really make hazel eyes stand out, I finished the look with a black liquid eyeliner. The Real Techniques Fine Liner Brush has a fine, pointed tip which makes creating the perfect line really easy.
