Contrary to popular belief, smoky is not a color, it’s a technique. Smoky eyes this season are done with purple and brown eyeshadow for day – it’s less intense than charcoal. Try using a cream shadow, like Besame cream shadow in Sumatra, under a lighter powder shadow, like Besame __ eye trio, blending around the eyes. Both shadows in different consistencies give your smoky look more staying power.
