Question
I would love to know how to get the smokey look when applying eye shadow. I have blue eyes and blonde hair. Every time I try, it always makes my eyes look small or looks too dark and over the top.

Answer
Hi Megan, try investing in a good set of makeup brushes and follow these basic steps:
- Start by concealing the eye area with a reflecting concealer.
- Using an eye shadow brush, sweep a small amount of shadow over the eye socket, then blend shadow up and out with a blending brush to soften.
- Apply eye pencil in a deeper shade of the same colour as the shadow, close to eyelashes for further definition.
- To enlarge eyes, add white eyeliner in the inner rim and finish off with lengthening mascara.
