What You Need For Smoky Eyes For Your Holiday Look

In Love Actually, Kiera Knightley rocked a light smoky eye with a feathery updo during her wedding scene. Taking inspiration from one of these top holiday films, we can do that romantic look even if we’re not exactly going anywhere. Yes, even during a lockdown, there are still so many opportunities to glam up, whether in an online get-together or an actual event with your friends and loved-ones.

Here are some tips on how to get this look with the help of Spotlight Cosmetics, the new local makeup brand that aims to empower Filipinas to transform their looks. The muse of Spotlight, is of course, Metro cover girl Jane de Leon.

Here's how to get your glam soft smoky eye:

1. Start by applying your preferred brown shade in the Scene Stealer Eyeshadow 8-in-1 Palette (P495) all over the lid and lash line. You can also opt to line your lower lash line with a soft brown shade to make your eyes bigger. Don’t forget to blend, blend, and blend! Diffuse the edges and avoid harsh lines to make these look like actual contours of your eyes.

2. Apply the Showstopper Liquid Eyeliner (P295) along the upper and lower lash line. To upgrade this look, try creating a cat eye and then top it with a black eyeshadow. Make sure to diffuse the edges and blend with your own brown smokey base to make this look seamless.

PRO TIP: The thickness and thinness of your eyeliner shape depends on the angle of your pen. Diagonally flat will give thicker lines, while diagonally pointed will give you thinner lines.

Finally, add a bit of shine and glitter! For a real luxe finish, complete the whole look by applying the Scene Stealer Gel Eyeshadow (P295) on the inner corners of the eye.
