Classic Smokey Eye Tutorial Step-by-Step:

1. Apply eye base all over the lid. Using a fluffy crease brush, apply "Native" eyeshadow to the transition between the crease and brow bone.
2. With a detailing contour brush, apply "Aubergine" eyeshadow to the eye socket area and lower lash line. Blend well.
3. Using a flat brush, apply "Raven" to the lid and slightly past the crease. Use patting motions to avoid fallout.
4. Using the detailing brush from step 2, blend out the harsh edge of "Raven" adding a bit of "Aubergine" to soften the gradient.
5. Line the entire waterline with "Black Magic" waterproof eyeliner and smudge some on the lower lash line.
6. Apply mascara and falsies. Add a touch of "Diamond" glitter to tear duct area to brighten the inner corner.
