Step-by-Step Smokey Eye Tutorials for Brown Eyes

The first step before any eye makeup is choosing a good quality primer and applying on your eyelids before you proceed with the following:

Smokey Eyes with Grey Eyeshadow

1. Take a light shade of grey eyeshadow and use it on your eyelid
2. Pick a darker grey shade and apply it from the outer v to drag it towards the middle
3. Add some glittery grey on the inner corner
4. Use your kohl and mascara as much as you want to team up this grey smokey look with voluminous lashes

Smokey Eyes with Brown Eyeshadow

1. Take matte brown eyeshadow and apply it on your crease
2. Take a darker shade of brown and smudge it smoothly on the outer v and the middle part of your eyelid, (it could be replaced with kohl although)
3. Take a glittery variation of brown eyeshadow and apply that on the brow bone
4. You may use the dark brown eyeshadow on the lower lash line for a more defining look
5. Gently brush the dark eyeshadow on the lower lash line

Wearing kohl is optional, but smudging all the eyeshadow shades together is a must. Every woman with brown eyes can exhibit the makeup, regardless of their complexion.

 Smokey Eyes with Black Eyeshadow

1. Brush off black eyeshadow from your outer v towards the inner corner
2. Apply kohl in a thick line
