How To Get The Perfect Smoky Eye Makeup Look

Whether you are an experimental bride or a minimalist one, choosing your wedding day makeup is a tricky one. We all want to look like ourselves but with a sprinkle of glam that enhances our best features. And as one of the most classic eye makeup looks, a smoky eye will surely help you take it up a notch. Promise, this isn’t going to end up looking like you’ve got a black eye.

Expert makeup and hair artist Vithya Visvendra has cracked the code by swapping out the heavy black eyeshadow for muted tones of brown. A personal favourite of the artist, the brown smoky eye look enhances the shape of your eyes and blends in perfectly with brown skin tones. This keeps it minimal yet glamorous, a perfect choice for a modern bride. Without any further ado, let’s dive into Vithya’s recommendations to create the magic.

NudeStix Magnetic Matte Eye Colour

Choose a shade of your preference and use over an eye primer for best results. “Basically get a lot of this product onto your eyelid.” The expert recommends using “a stiff brush to blend out the edges.” Extend the edges to give it a winged effect and add false lashes if you wish.
NudeStix Magnetic Matte Eye Colour: £18.90



MAC Cosmetics MACStack Mascara

Mascara is an essential to give your smoky eye a finished look. “Use a lash curler. I love the MACStack cause it is like a comb. Definitely do your lower lashes as it opens up your eyes. Also, if you have very fine lines under your eyes, this technique does a good job of hiding them.”
Mac Cosmetics MACStack Mascara: £27



MAC Cosmetics Eyebrows Styler Pencil in Stud

“If you have thin brows, you can use this to add volume.” Lastly, the makeup artist added “I love my false lashes but it’s your own choice.” You can opt for the extra addition to tie in your wedding day glam.
