One of my personal fav eye looks is a Smokey liner, with a smoked look on the upper lip. I basically use this one go-to technique with a creamy Kajal on the lids and blend it upwards with a brown shade. And similarly on the lower lashline under the waterline. And use a white or beige shade over the waterline. I feel like it makes the eyes look open and wide. And for the lashes, I curl the lashes and use 2-3 coats of mascara For a dramatic look, you can add falsies to glam it all up. The smoky eye technique cannot go wrong for any event or occasion, one can stand out very bold while following this technique on the go!

Eye Makeup is actually an art, it changes your look instantly. eye makeup comes by practice by the understanding of choosing the right shades and some basic tips. So here are some steps to follow for a flawless eye look- Use an eye primer\concealer, and start with choosing shades that you can use to create a casual everyday look, you will need a highlighter in a shade that’s lighter to your skin tone. I suggest you use a brush if you are at a beginner level, you’ll need one small and medium-sized blending brush to smoothly blend the shades, creating a seamless smokey effect. Starting with the lightest shade, glide the eye shadow brush on your eyelids starting from the inner corner of your eyes and stretch it outwards. Use your blending brush on the mid-tone shade and apply it above the crease line, this time starting from outward and smoothly gliding it inwards. Make sure to not overdo it and make it look as seamless as possible. The mid-tone can be any shade from neutral to the one that suits your outfit. You can stick to peach, pink or light orange for a safe side. Now when your eye makeup on the eyelids is done, it’s time for the lower lash line. Take a tiny amount of mid-tone shade on the brush, starting from outward glide the brush inward until it meets the highlighting shade, the lighter shade that you applied first. You can even add a touch of kajal close to the waterline of your lower lash for added drama. Now you are done with eyeshadow, use mascara and eyeliner for a better look.

This season's most popular eye looks are rose gold and soft pink. Whether a celebrity on the red carpet or a woman at a wedding, they all choose this subtle but stunning eye look that complements their features and can be effortlessly transitioned from a day to night look. Always start with a soft pink matte eyeshadow on the crease of your eye with a fluffy blending brush, add the colour in layers to build the intensity, remember to keep blending in windshield wiper motions to avoid harsh lines, and as a viral makeup meme says, Blending is my cardio, swear by it and your eye shadow will look blended like the clouds. Now, for the shimmer, combine a deep pink shimmer eyeshadow with a soft gold to create the perfect rose gold shimmer hue for the eyelids. Apply it to your eyelids with a flat eyeshadow brush, and remember to apply multiple layers for intensity since glitter fades over time. Finish the look with a thin line of eyeliner on the upper lash line and two coats of mascara on the upper and lower lashes. For the evening, a bright pink lip can be used to liven up the appearance, while for the day, keep it simple and allow the eyes to do the talking with nude lips or a lip gloss.

With this season of festive, I got you covered on how to keep your makeup minimal yet super chic this season. Shine bright like a diamond by following these simple techniques to make your eyes pop but also won’t take much time to create. Draw a nice black winged liner on your upper lash line as it will help give definition to the eyes. Now, take a bright coloured eyeshadow on a pencil brush (You can use Yellow, Pink, Aqua Blue, Orange, Crimson, Turquoise) and place it right beside your tear-duct; bringing it slightly in the inner corners of your eyes. Apply an orange-brown eye shadow using a small blending brush on your lower lash line and blend well to provide depth. In order to make this look extra festive, take a glitter liner and apply it to the inner part of your lower lash line. This will elevate the look to another level. To complete this look, cover your lashes with a thick coat of mascara and apply some falsies to give this eye look an extra oomph. Pro-tip: Drown yourself in a dewy highlighter this season and keep shining like a goddess.
