How to Nail the Classic Smoky Eye in just 3 Steps

Classic smokey eyes never go out of style. This timeless makeup look is incredibly versatile and complements every skin tone and undertone when done right. Whether you’re aiming for bold eye makeup, a soft glam smokey eye, or prepping for a special occasion, the smoky eye is your go-to for quick, foolproof elegance. And while it’s often considered time-intensive, PAC makes it effortless with an easy 3-step smoky eye tutorial.  

So, grab your neutral eyeshadows, eye brush, and kohl pencil—let’s get started!  

 

Steps for the Look:

  • Step 1: Create a Neutral Base  

Use a nude eyeshadow palette like the PAC Eyeshadow X16 Palette. Choose a light brown shade and sweep it over your eyelids using a fluffy brush. This creates a soft, seamless base for your smoky eye.  

  • Step 2: Define with Kohl  

Take the PAC Longlasting Kohl Pencil and apply it along your waterline and upper lash line. Use its built-in smudger or an eyeshadow blending brush to blend the kohl into a softer, smoky effect.  

  • Step 3: Amplify with Mascara  

Complete the look by coating your lashes with the PAC Twist and Lift Mascara for extra drama and depth. And Voila—your mesmerizing smoky eye is ready to captivate!  

Elevate Your Smoky Eye with These Upgrades

  • Add Glitter or Shimmer  

For parties or glam events, dab a bit of shimmer or glitter eyeshadow onto your lids. This simple touch adds instant sparkle and elevates your smoky eye for a more dazzling shimmer smokey eye look.  

  • Try Duo-Chrome Magic  

Enhance your smoky eye by applying a duo-chrome eyeshadow to the inner corners of your eyes. This color-shifting touch will add a unique dimension, taking your look from subtle to show-stopping.  

  • Experiment with Pops of Color or Metallics  

Incorporate metallic or colorful shades like gold, copper, or silver to create a fresh twist on the classic smoky eye. This is perfect for when you want a bold, experimental vibe.  

 Mastering the smoky eye doesn’t have to be intimidating or time-consuming. With these steps of easy smokey eye tutorial and creative enhancements, you can achieve a bold, sultry look that’s perfect for any occasion—whether it’s a glamorous night out or elevating your everyday style.  


So, let your eyes speak volumes and shine through the magic of the smokey eyes!
