Classic Smokey Eye Tutorial

[@DeejKelley]

6 years later and this is still one of the best tutorials I have seen on the smokey eye. Fantastic

[@Alejandra-jq4xf]

7 years later and yet the same

[@2ndRatePetronius]

Seriously one of the most achievable, wearable smokey eye tutorials I've seen.

[@Waldorfdarling]

This look is so Chanel. Chic but also sultry. J'adore.

[@adhishreetrivedy6718]

J'adore is Christian Dior

[@Sasha-im9tk]

@@adhishreetrivedy6718 J’adore is French for «I like» so she probably just ment that she liked the makeup

[@nelgnelgnelg]

Just noticed, professional make-up artist keep their make-up simple and dont use too much product unlike those of less experienced.

[@kseniya8820]

Absolutely agree with you. I'm so scared of those beauty-gurus on KZbin who make all these bright vulgar "everyday" or smokey make-up. Looks like a pornstar make up with all these false lashes, precise eyebrows, lined with pomade, bronzed face and a tone of foundation/concealer/powder. It looks so fake and clowny. Artists like Lisa make you look like you even didn't try hard with your make up, like you woke up in the morning so fresh, nice and sexy, even if it is a smokey-eye look. I really-really love Lisa's looks! Favourite beauty-guru!

[@k8ddid]

Kseniya Kseniya and super feminine..not drag queenie

[@kseniya8820]

Kate Hyde Hell, yeah! :)

[@kseniya8820]

Laura Kasaic Thank you. :) And especially it sounds so ridiculous when they do those make-up looks and say that it is "natural dewy look". Oh yeah... :) It is so natural when the sturcture of your skin is covered with primer, concealer, foundaton, powder and again concealer. And plus, to make your skin look "healthier" and "fresh" just add blush, bronzer or sculptor powder or you can mix them together, and, of course, highlighter! To give your skin those beautful halo. :-D

[@KittyPop77]

Belle Gorj totally agree! I'm not a make up artist, I like wearing make up to make me feel pulled together during the day, and for that you don't need to cake up on foundation and concealer and powder etc. Even for clubbing I don't cake up on a lot of foundation and trust me, I don't have flawless skin. I'd rather let a few blemishes peek through than look as if I'm wearing a mask. Definitely follow whatever Lisa says for any occasion, just look for whatever of her looks that I like, and try to recreate them on me. Another good point is that you don't have to spend an hour to create a smoky eye. I love her

[@xBelindaa]

You look so much like Keira Knightley in Pirates of the Caribbean with this eye look. Stunning.

[@AlexRosuPhoto]

Actually it was Ve Neil and she didn't put ANY makeup on Keira. She said she just pinched her cheeks to give her a natural blush.

[@elizabethdraper8174]

She kinda reminds me of Caitlyn Jenner❤️

[@myviva2340]

I also think that she looks kinda like Monica Bellucci

[@LoLo-fj8iu]

You can easily tell the difference between a makeup artist and a "KZbin beauty guru" . Lisa doesn't over do it with clown contour or spider false lashes. She looks so beautiful and sophisticated

[@gyan1827]

Lo Lo I agree, but that probably also has to do with age and experience. thesedays it is much more acceptible/common to run around with a full face of intense makeup.

[@nehamaaleixandre4879]

idk if you meant intense as in "too much amount" or as in intense colours (?)

[@boadecia8176]

She's English darling. Quietly cool. No other nationality can do that!!!

[@Saphir13]

[@uditashukla5955]

Glad somebody sait this!!this one is pretty decent and classic

[@LisaEldridge]

Thanks for the lovely comment, so happy to hear you are getting a lot out of my videos and taking good care of your skin! X

[@loopylulu4130]

It's so refreshing to see a "beauty guru" on KZbin who doesn't use tons of heavy make up ( contour, highlight, false lashes) in all their tutorials. Your tutorials are always seem so much more professional :)

[@massacre-zone]

+Loopy Lulu That's probably because Lisa Eldridge is a professional makeup artist, not a "KZbin beauty guru"

[@1agnesdei]

totally agree her makeups are so soft it looks that you have born this way.

[@Latinag25]

This is absolutely the best smokey eye tutorial on YT!!!! Thank u for sharing with us all!!!!

[@gyan1827]

I love that you demonstrate how diverse makeup can be! I feel like all I see from other youtubers is the same makeup over and over again.

[@tyradeck4746]

she is beauty, she is grace she is Lisa Eldrigde

[@chelsig5593]

You are, hands down, the best makeup guru on KZbin.

[@GDeliuta]

Thank you, thank you for advertising less is more! I'm grossed out by how much product KZbin beauty gurus cake on; looks great on camera and at night. But your makeup is fresh and flawless!

[@deannale595]

I love the simplicity and clean beauty. Classic is underappreciated these days, especially in the U.S.

[@juliaaa1111]

I was 100% sure you had foundation on at the beginning!

[@StephanieJane1208]

I like listening to your classy English accent. Reminds me of clients calling my line at work. :)

[@gtran7]

Very helpful tips, ty. Of all the smokey eyes I've watched on KZbin, yours does look the most softest, while with the least emphasis on upper eyelid- but I love it, because I was able to see how sensual and romantic it can look.

[@Tanya-eq3fy]

Elegance! Just pure elegance! I am tired of seeing so called makeup gurus use a pound of makeup and a THOUSAND products on their face. You're my muse. A beautiful woman inside and out. ❤️

[@dorianehardy1458]

This is one of the best smoky eye tutorials I've ever seen! It's so simple and easy to replicate! Thank you for sharing! x

[@Emi-yq1fx]

This is the most chic look that I have ever seen! Works so well with your delicate features LOVE IT!

[@TheStepmonkey]

This smokey eye looks so elegant and classy and not overly done, u are a total pro 👏

[@molkamissaoui]

with the nude lip you look so much like monica bellucci. love u lisa 💝

[@amya.3174]

+Missaoui Molka A very cheap version of Bellucci then.

[@elebecepe]

+Amy B. That's rude!

[@amya.3174]

+elebecepe Yes, that's VERY rude for Monica Bellucci.

[@elebecepe]

Amy B. I happen to think that Monica Bellucci is one of the most beautiful wowen on earth, but to say that someone is cheap just because another person dared to compare her to Monica is just rude, and is not even Lisa making that claim, so why even say it? I think that you're an intelligent human being and you're missing the point on purpose. More to the point this channel is about makeup so why leave a comment like that? I doubt that Lisa has the time or the incliantion to read all the comments but it makes me sad that someone would leave such a comment. Imagine someone would write that about you, you would be offended, wouldn't you? Let's be nice to each other, that's all I'm saying. Peace!

[@lydiahessa9400]

+elebecepe Amen!

[@LisaEldridge]

Aaarrgh, I will be back I promise!!!! Just been so busy with work the past three weeks. Seven cover shoots, loads of amazing fashion shoots for magazines like Italian Vogue etc AND working with celebrity clients. All great fun and I cant wait to share them all on my blog when they come out! Things are getting a little quieter next week so will record a few vids : ) X

[@SophiaCrisp]

This was the best tutorial of a smokey eye I've ever watched, definitely subscribing

[@VanillaForever1]

Following the tips from this video, I did a smokey eye that doesn't make my eyes look smaller for the first time in my life. And I got a ton of compliments. I'm a blonde and this look worked. I've recreated multiple looks from this channel and they've always been a hit. She actually takes the time to explain how to moderate the looks to suit your features and this is one of the many reasons that make Lisa's channel my favorite.

[@faithirismacilvaine2499]

Such a good tutorial! Her eyes are sparkling, they're so beautiful!

[@Thisisarahkhan]

Till date one of the best tutorials!

[@aliadizzle]

I'm new to Lisa's videos and have been binging them all day. I don't need to watch any other youtuber ever. This is the most beautiful smoky eye I've seen, and I watch a LOT of these. I'm so hooked!

[@prin.sesje.]

your make up always looks classic, you should have way more viewers

[@rosasareblue]

I'm a darker olive complexion and don't have most of the brands/products you use but I love to recreate your looks. I watch a lot of other beauty channels but I get overwhelmed by the amount of products they use and level of expertise. You make your videos so simple and universal that all of your looks can work for everyone.

[@carolegordon9214]

I love this tutorial! Showed it to my daughter and she loved it too and looked awesome when she did her eyes following this, much better than when she usually does them...so much so that she was loathed to take her make-up off at bedtime because it was so pretty!

[@aliacrai]

You are such an inspiration in a world overloaded with all of these "theatrical " makeup. And you have so many things to teach... just love to end my day looking at your videos, they are valuable and full of precious information! And on top of it all you teach the persons that follow you to just be their selves but in a better form! Hands down.

[@whichypoohs]

She makes it look so easy

[@andrewphillips6309]

Im always left speechless by Lisas makeup looks, they're so masterful and so special!! The way that Lisa does makeup is second to none, she has truly mastered the artistry... WOW... A once in a lifetime talent!! xxx

[@gaylelumanog2754]

It's quite funny how those other "not so pro" makeup gurus wear a crap load of makeup and still look pretty but Lisa just blended in a light layer of makeup and look much more sophisticated than them. Well she is an expert but anyone can wear makeup as much as they want as long as they still look human. hahaha XD

[@FamiliaGhatas]

Totally agree !

[@kaitlinski493]

thank you! me too!

[@millyyygomezzz]

True artist right here. So beautiful and graceful.

[@iva1993ful]

+Gayle Lumanog OMFG your "still look human" made my day ! i think so. if i;m not mistaken, i only need 2 colours of eyeshadow (taupe+dark grey) to have those prefect smokey eyes. it's so time-saving, but looks gorgeous as hell. wow

[@ibuharis]

your video is actually the only classic smokey eyes tutorial that i like! you are a genius Lisa! xxx

[@pippi8592]

Hi Lisa, I'm 38 and began wearing make up just a couple of months ago. I've been looking for tutorials on KZbin and I have to say yours are the best I've found so far. You are amazing! And you have such wonderful big bright eyes! I love them! I'm trying to mimic you but my results are nothing comparable to yours -_- But I'll keep on watching your videos and trying, maybe one day... ;)

[@Tamsin3338]

Best smokey eye that i’ve ever seen! Now the challenge is to recreate it on myself

[@sfex9]

it reminds me so much of '00 keira knightley, when the first pirates of the Caribbean came out

[@kl6306]

sfex9 Right? She has that same effortless beauty that people like Keira Knightley have where they look like they're from the Victorian era and somehow time-travelled to modern day.

[@thisisnotme7682]

I Love how you're always enhancing the best features of the face instead of wearing a lot of makeup. Thank you!!! This is what I was looking for.

[@l1rangell]

I was 13 when I found this channel,is 2018 and I'm here to do this look tonight. ♥ thank you for all this lessons and inspirations ♥ you're very important,even to people you don't know.

[@LaudauteDominum-er2mr]

Huge fan. A true Artist. This is how you do make-up without altering your true beauty.

[@violetgirl1996]

u can just see the quality level of her makeup application skills: -3

[@gsogso3444]

OMG...thank you... finally one makeup tutorial video with no eyeliner...just love it. easy to do and less messy...thank you... beautiful finish

[@savannah82374]

she is so refreshing to look at...some of these so called utube makeup artist need to take notes...

[@MsLoopyLoops]

...some of these so called utube makeup artists need to take several seats...

[@DoraSometimes]

The thing i admire you most-I think I really don't need to mention your knowledge and skills- is that you, beside being so famous make up artist and having a lot of your own, payed,work to do, you always have the time to make videos and for that I'm more than grateful!!! You are a true inspiration, not just regarding your work but also being such a wonderful, modest and down to earth person. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. Love, Dora

[@avivadiiva]

I love how messy this Smokey eye is. I find that professional makeup artists make eye makeup look so effortless and "lived in" while still making the client look polished, instead of perfect lines and cut creases that I see women apply on themselves. The effortless look is what attracts people, imo, not the overly dramatic, 5 color eye shadow, technique-driven look. Btw, you look like a mash up of Monica Bellucci and Christa Miller, lol.

[@tomvalveede6808]

Such a wonderful teacher and a Joy to listen to & watch, while alone at home in this horrific time. So calming and soothing to watch! I love this World makeup expert. Beauty, perfection!

[@tomvalveede6808]

Wonderful techniques for Day or Night, and easy-peasy! Give it a try! I shared this with a friend, and she looked Great! Thank you, Lisa-the Best!!! 🌹🌹🌹 Your Friend in Kansas City, Tom!

[@ThatGibsonGirl]

I WISH I WAS AS CALM AS YOU WHEN DOING THIS.....Once the powder hits my eye..EVEN IF I TAP THE POWDER OFF and it lands on my cheeks IT IS HARD NOT TURNING INTO THE HULK! ...maybe im taking this cosmetics thing too seriously...eh

[@aussiedonna50]

Try & remember that it's only makeup, it's not life threatening & you can always remove mistakes. In the big scheme of things, if the worst thing that happens to you is eyeshadow fallout, COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS :)

[@bruisercat7300]

Aussie .Donna She was clearly joking. Get yourself a sense of humour.

[@ceeceejimz6703]

You're amazing at what you do. I appreciate you taking the time to share your talents and tips with others who aspire to be great artists as well, whether its as a makeup artist or for just self expression through makeup. Thanks for sharing your gift Lisa. Xoxo...

[@NadiaReads]

I was never able to do a smokey eye before, but this tutorial is really awesome!

[@smetiska]

How can someone dislike a Lisa Eldridge makeup tutorial?

[@MlleMay]

You're so chic and delicate. For me, you're the true definition of a real classic woman. You're such a perfect inspiration. Thank you. (I'm a new subscriber and I think this, everytime I watch a video on your channel. I had to say it at least once in the comments)

[@ThiBrunette]

Finally learned how to do a smokey eye. Still the best tutorial (and MUA) out there. Thank you Lisa!

[@legacyrecordss]

I'm using two eyeshadows

[@cathyoborski6091]

Your eyes are gorgeous! Especially with the brown color you mixed in with the gray eye shadow, it really makes your eye color look bright and almost metallic.

[@kat1york]

Very sultry with the red lipstick Lisa. Could you do a soft purple and taupe smokey eye for us? I think those 2 colours would flatter anybody aswell.

[@alicebell]

Lisa, I love your videos and often watch them to relax before bed, and I realised, you are the make up, KZbin equivalent of the Joy of Painting! Thank you xx

[@safi456]

hands down the best smokey eye tutorial i have ever seen...finally it is starting to make sense, and that too with just 3 products...wow....all the other makeup KZbinrs should just retire now....please please do a bronze/brown smokey eye tutorial....and if u can pls try and use the Rimmel ScandalEyes sticks, I'd love to know how to use those. Thanks.

[@l.mack89]

This was my very first makeup tutorial years and years ago. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@LisaEldridge]

Love this! Thank you for being here xx

[@cerri3392]

This is the only damn smokey eye tutorial that i could find that actually made sense

[@TheSavoirFairey]

Lovely...always lovely. Your videos and tutorials give me the courage and confidence to try looks I would never have dreamed of wearing. You've seriously changed the way I look...for the better! Thank you so very much.

[@kimnguyen1227]

I love this look. I've always had trouble with smokey eyes and I realize now I've not been blending enough. other tutorials tend to dump a lot of colors and this uses just two. simple but perfect!

[@geoab123]

I wore this look when I went out last night, and I got so many compliments! Thank you Lisa! I normally go a bit too heavy with the black eyeshadow, but this was subtle yet still smokey - will now be my every night out look :) xxx

[@Bakerygo]

this make up looks so effortless

[@insomnia6233]

finally found the best (for me personally) eye makeup tutorial on youtube. totally wearable and looks classy and effortless. i'm kinda sick and tired of these extremely heavy insta makeup looks with huge false eyelashes (who wears them every single day?) this look is easy yet timeless. thanks thanks thanks.

[@FruShark]

I very much liked your tip at the end: wear it however you want

[@Istebrak]

Lisa, I have a question if you have time. Wouldn't it be optimal to do the concealing on the eye and the inner corner nose bone before doing the eye shadow? It would be so messy to sneak in concealer after the eye shadow for those with darker or mismatched skin on the nose bone by the eyes and beneath the eyebrows.

[@pascalebikhazi8509]

Love your tutorials ! Thank you Lisa, I will use this technique for a first date, evening outing :)

[@betty4gators]

okay it is official it has been years since if first watched this and just days since watching one of Lisa's current videos and woman does NOT age - she is living right or something but she looks exactly the same - young, fresh and beautiful!

[@ElenaWIP]

Ok, how is this video 9 years old and I'm still searching for it regularly? 🔥😻

[@LisaEldridge]

The Vichy Dermablend foundation is very heavy so not great for all over your face (unless you want a very, heavy full coverage base). I prefer to use it as a concealer or just in the areas were its really needed. You can then set it with powder. Is it something full coverage you are looking for? X

[@lovatosefron3302]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks she's identical to Natalie Portman

[@justsomefish_]

haha nope!! she really does

[@mayerlingmrj]

Not even in a hundred years!

[@Meeeelyyy]

I thought so too

[@mayerlingmrj]

Kylie Minongue? I didnt think about it but yes, I think you are right. I love the smokey eye make up, it looks just wonderful. regards

[@klimtkahlo]

I am 40 and just started wearing make up now... Still not everyday, still learning and figuring out what to buy... Still don't know how to do the eyeliner...

[@shelbyk2193]

This is a Professional makeup artist. Not a makeup guru. Great job!

[@NeoBellus]

this look is sooooo gorgeous!! i love this, i have SUCH a hard time with a smokey eye application and i end up looking like a $2 hooker and having to wash it all off :( i will be trying this next time im going out :) thank you, lisa, youre absolutely amazing, xoxo- Neo

[@HydraKitten]

I'm a novice at make-up, never really touched any eye make-up other than a liquid eyeliner/mascara but I have always envied the brown smokey look. This is the first tutorial that doesn't scare me off and got me excited to try, thank you for the beautiful tutorial!

[@perfumaphilia3246]

A slightly grungey smokey eye will always be my favorite makeup look. I can't stand flawless Instagram makeup.

[@nadia.1233]

This has really helped me on the. Choosing the right colours and techniques needed to be used... I've been looking for a simple and quick way and this tutorial is just perfect. she is so pretty even without make up!

[@MellissaJoris]

So nice to see a make up tutorial from a girl with a sweet and feminine persona.

[@puppieslikecake]

wow so gorgeous! I love watching your tutorials because you make it seem so effortless without emphasis on the types of brushes or brands and it inspires me to try stuff out.

[@aliakhan8738]

U look like keira nightley with this look ♥

[@lakshmik8845]

I have never seen such a simple smokey eye look except Bobbi brown makeup tutorial. She is pretty simple gorgeous woman. People keep adding layers and layers on their eyes, which is so much difficult for the beginners and time consuming. Thank you for an easy makeup.

[@toveknautz42]

Well, I ended up look like a panda

[@dawanaboyd2958]

Lol me too

[@gsogso3444]

😱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gsogso3444]

Less product on the brushes girls

[@ericasheppard764]

I just wanna say that I love your make up tutorials. You always go in such depth and explain it really well and manage to make every small change make a major difference. Keep it up. 💖💖

[@salesethika]

Could you please show some different looks for tanned skinned and Indians that have a middle - not dark skin tone please.

[@susanaustin_filmproducer]

Thank you so much, I have watched literally thousands of tutorials over the past 8 + years and funny this one is Perfect ....Easy straightforward and Brilliant result :)

[@wingleader04]

Loved the tutorial. Only thing (and I'm just being a baby): I prefer the term "crease line" over "socket". Lol Socket just sounds gross to me.

[@Nuadin]

That's funny, it's the opposite for me :) To each their own I suppose.

[@teresarobinson264]

Lisa is the best!! I love how she uses makeup to enhance your beauty and not cover your natural face.

[@LaudePelícula]

She kinda looks like Alessandra Ambrosio

[@ashleyunderwood583]

You are the queen of effortless makeup artistry. 😍❤️

[@spritedaway12]

I just look like I've been boxed in the face.

[@cecideng4358]

You're honestly beautiful naturally so no matter what look you wear you will always look great! This look is so elegant ,thanks for sharing it with us!

[@sag686]

You look so much like Natalie Portman.

[@amya.3174]

+Vanessa Baltazar How can you insult Portman like this?! I like Lisa's tutorials but come on she's very ugly, while Portman is beautiful.

[@AfridiZindabad]

+Amy B. I think Lisa is better so clearly it's in the eye of the beholder.

[@CharissaAlex]

Amy B. While I think Natalie Portman is one of the most beautiful women in the world, it is absurd that you would call Lisa Eldridge "very ugly". You're smoking crack lady. Lisa has a beautiful face, as well as voice and also mannerisms.

[@amya.3174]

Charissa Harder She looks like a transgender.

[@laurenbi]

Amy B. I’ve seen you comment something awful on another compliment of Lisa. Come on, get a life. Is trashing another women in the comment section of a KZbin video really the only way you can build your self esteem?

[@kqu752]

Wow...so simple but yet so classy and elegant. You are so talented and gorgeous!

[@OoONeTtAOoO]

monica bellucci.. :-)

[@chelleychelley8299]

Classy! This is the look the great actress Norma Sheer could pull off beautifully!!! Love it. Can't wait to try on myself.

[@AskSydneyLipton]

This is what the smokey eye was before KZbin attention whores turned it into an exaggerated joke. They've ruined makeup. I just think it's funny how beautiful and simple celebrities look for red carpet events compared to KZbin beauty gurus who look like Bratz dolls.

[@sooka1959]

Your videos are my zen viewing for each day. Always inspiring, relaxing, and amazing results. Thank you Lisa.

[@Biedronecqa]

aw no, that lipstick is too orange.

[@AintGotNothinOnUs]

Must be your monitor. Nars Jungle Red is a very true red, not blue toned but doesn't lean orange, either.

[@Lilitush]

+Sophiesticated Looked almost pink to me. Definitely your monitor.

[@katerismith9588]

This look is amazing! I really enjoy the Classic Smokey Eye and I am going to try it on myself today. Thank you for such a wonderful, step by step routine to follow!
