How to get a quick basic smokey eye look

Heres some steps to get a quick basic smokey eye look:

Start by lining the upper lid with a kohl pencil - kohl's are always better as they are softer and easier to smudge, next add a bit more starting from the outer corner and smudging pulling it up slightly above the lash line always keeping to the outer corner of the eye, smudge by using a brush or cotton bud.

Apply a neutral eye shadow (beige, or light pink- avoid shimmer eyeshaddows) to the entire lid up to the brow bone, then use a flat brush to apply a medium shade of eye shadow to the lower lid, blending it up to the crease with a fluffy brush.

With a small smudge brush, brush a line of the dark eye shadow across the lash line, on top of the eyeliner and blend it up using light circular motions, smudging the line between the dark and medium eye shadows.

Finish by adding some eye liner to the bottom outer corner of the lashes to add definition and even the eye out.
