What\u2019s the smoky eye?<\/h3>\nFirst thing\u2019s first: what is<\/em> the smoky eye exactly? As celebrity makeup artist Nathan Johnsons says in QC Makeup Academy\u2019s instructional videos, the smoky eye is an ombre of color from light to dark. The smoked-out look comes from the layers of shadows that work together to create a gradient of color.\n\nSmoky eyes have light shadows on the lids before transitioning slowly to a dark color. The traditional smoky eye uses black as the final step in the shadow application process to add depth. A reverse smoky eye actually places the darkest colors in the center of the lid. The creases are normally a contrasting color that blends into the brow bone. While these are the basic definitions of a smoky eye, the reality is, a smoky eye can be achieved with any family of color!\n

Why is it so popular?<\/h3>\nThe sultry, sexy look will never go out of style. Not only do smoky eyes add smolder, but they also deepen the crease and create a dramatic deep-set eye look. The strategic shadow placement adds mystery to familiar features. Especially since A-list celebrities routinely walk the red carpet in this look, you\u2019ll never not see it during awards season.\n\nSo, when ordinary people attend special events and hire a makeup artist, they oftentimes want a change from the ordinary. They want to look like a glamorous celebrity! That tinted moisturizer and basic, bright-eyed look works for the day, but to really add some glam, a smoky eye is in their cards.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][image_with_animation image_url=”30617″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
