The smokey eye is both sexy and classic, two adjectives that often compete for center stage but are a beautiful marriage when describing iconic looks like this makeup technique. Whether your eyes are light or dark, you're going to a formal dinner or out with girlfriends, or you just feel like jazzing up your everyday routine, the smokey eye shows no discrimination and is the perfect compliment to any look desired. While it looks effortless once complete, it can often times be tough to master, so I've compiled some of my favorite smokey eye tutorials for you here:
- This tutorial from Become Gorgeous is complete with step-by-step photos, making the look easy to complete.
- Cosmopolitan shares 7 easy-to-follow illustrations for a flawless smokey eye in a beauty cheat sheet here.

- Classy Cosmetics uses products like Revlon and MAC to complete this 10 minutes to a smokey eye video.

i can't wait to try one of these! for some reason, i always feel like a three year old with a black crayon when i try to give myself a smoky eye. these make it look somewhat easier.
This is great. I've never had any success with this before, so this will help.
So pretty, but I can never get this right..
LAST day to enter the GIVEAWAY over at Lilac and Grey!
I love how the smokey eye looks, but like Cara said, I can never get it right... Maybe it's the shape of my eyes...? It just never looks as good as the professionals! Thanks for the great links!
I will definitely watch these because I lack in that department. Have never been able to do the smokey thing beyond brown!
Thank you for sharing, Annemarie.

Ahhh, the smoky eye. Always a go to. Thanks for the links!
You just made my day! I'm such a moron with makeup for some reason which is seriously disturbing to my aunts who are professional makeup artists.

Great links! I love the photo, it is amazing! Greetings to you, Zondra

I truly needed all those tutorials! And, it gives us enough time to practice before the holidays. Thank you!!
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing, this is so helpful as always :)
This picture is gorgeous. Maybe I'll try again... it always seems to look like a hot mess why I try it myself.
Love this look! Thanks for the options :)
Love smoky eyes and completely agree with the classic & sexy description... my biggest issue is that I also LOVE a bold red/aubergine lip and obviously bold lips + smoky eyes = Robert Palmer 'Simply Irresistible' video circa 1988. oh, life's tough decisions ;)
