The Smokey Eye — it’s a beloved classic, high drama eye look that’s been re-created in many colors and many ways. The term “smokey eye” doesn’t necessarily mean blacks and greys, “smokey” actually refers to the way the colors are combined to create the look. There’s no set in stone way to do a smokey eye, but we think our way is pretty foolproof.

To give your smokey eye long lasting staying power, start by priming your lids with a layer of Motives Luxe Crème Eye Shadow in Metal (USA Link). Smooth over your lids with your fingers, blending into your crease.
Next, intensify your lids with a dusting of Motives Pressed Eye Shadow in Black Tie (USA Link) for a pearlized, iridescent finish.
To get the smokey drama you are looking for, glide Motives Khol Eyeliner in Onyx (USA Link) across your top lash line from the inner to outer corners of your eye, making sure not to leave any gaps between your eye liner and lash line. Blend (the key to smokey eyes!) the liner upward and outwards with your Motives Detailing Brush (USA Link). To add balance to your look, dot your Motives Khol Eyeliner between your bottom lashes and blend for a soft focus effect.
To complete your classic smokey eye, apply a few coats of Motives Lustrafy High Definition Mascara in Onyx (USA Link) for lush, dark lashes.
Beauty bonus: For a stand out look, try matching the color of your smokey eye to your jewelry. i.e., if you are wearing gold jewelry, go for a golden bronze smokey eye.
