The bright reverse smokey eyes can be easily created by following the simple steps listed below.
Start by moisturizing your delicate eye area to prepare the skin for eye makeup. Pick an eye cream and dot it under your eye area and softly pat it into the skin. Then, take a concealer with your fingers or a flat concealer brush and conceal your dark circles. If you have deep pigmentation under your eyes, it is best to use a corrector prior to the application of the concealer. Then, use loose compact powder and set your concealer to prevent smudging or creasing of the products applied earlier.
Take a soft creamy nude eye pencil and apply it all over your eye lid area. This step will make the eyeshadow applied on top of it appear brighter and pop out more. Here, I used the Oriflame eye pencil in nude for the perfect finish.
Then, pick a shimmery champagne eyeshadow and apply it on your eyelid area. This eyeshadow is to be placed just above the nude eye pencil applied in the previous step. Start by blending the eye pencil applied on the previous step with your fingers or a flat eyeshadow brush to get an even base for the eyeshadow and then top the shimmery champagne eyeshadow over it. Here, I have used a shimmery champagne eyeshadow from the Elf 144 eyeshadow palette.
Take a matte medium brown eyeshadow and start applying it to the crease area of the eyes. This color will add dimension and give an illusion of deeper set eyes. For this step, I used a matte brown eyeshadow from the Elf 144 eyeshadow palette.
Then take a deeper dark brown eyeshadow in matte finish and start applying it to the crease area of the eyes. This color will add further depth and give an illusion of deeper set eyes. Here, I have used a matte dark brown eyeshadow from the Elf 144 eyeshadow palette. Then, apply a soft cream eyeshadow to the innermost corner and the brow bone area of your eyes to highlight and brighten the eye makeup. I have used a matte cream eyeshadow from the Elf 144 eyeshadow palette for this step.
Then, pick a matte orange eyeshadow and apply it thickly to your lower lash line. Here, I have used a matte bright orange eyeshadow from the Elf 144 eyeshadow palette. Line your waterline with a nude eye pencil to give an illusion of bigger eyes. I found the Oriflame eye pencil in nude perfect for this step.
Then, line your lower lash line with a black kajal pencil thickly as shown in the image. I used the Lotus Kajal in black. Pick a pointed thin eyeliner brush for this step.
Now, pick a soft yellow eyeshadow and softly blend out the orange eyeshadow applied earlier. Use a fluffy blending brush to achieve this step easily. Blend both the colors into a seamless finish to achieve a neat reverse smokey eye makeup look. Here, I used a matte yellow eyeshadow from the Elf 144 eyeshadow palette. Line your upper lash line with a thick dramatic winged eyeliner to add balance to the eye makeup. Then apply lots of mascara to complete the eye makeup look. I have used the Kryolan eye liner and L’oreal Million Lashes Mascara for this step.
