I had a wedding to go to and I'd been trying various smokey eye tutorials and failing miserably. Two hours before the event, I tried this tutorial with 💯 success. Everybody loved my makeup. It wasn't OTT, and I didn't look like a 🐼 Thanks so much for a very helpful video. A tip for those struggling with eye makeup: start with the eyes. Once that's done it'll be a breeze to do the rest of the face. All makeup videos do the face first but honestly, tackle the hardest bit first I say, get it out of the way. Using this tip I was able to get ready well before the deadline!

[@cece]

Wow, I'm so glad it worked out for you in the end. I know how stressful it can be trying to make it work last minute! 😅 And great tip as well, thank you for sharing that. I'll pin your comment so others more easily might see it. Thank you for your lovely comment! 💗

Truly the easiest smokey eye tutorial I've ever watched. Thank you for simplifying!

[@cece]

goldenty34 Thank you! You have no idea how happy that makes me :) I’m glad it was helpful!

[@strawberryskies2041]

I struggle with eyeshadow but always dread watching these super long videos where half of the video they just talk, and talk, and talk🤦‍♀️ and use all these brushes that make it seem complicated. Yours is the first video that was 100% helpful and right to the point!!!! I found the makeup brush on Amazon for only 3 something and ordered it right away!!!! I'm gonna keep watching your videos and keep practicing!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT SO EASY AND GIVING ME HOPE!!!!!😭💛☺🥰

[@cece]

You have no idea how happy that makes me to hear! I'm so glad you found it helpful and I'm positive you'll master the technique in no time 😊 Have fun playing around with it and if you feel like it feel free to keep me posted on your progress 😄

[@lindawal792]

Could not agree more

[@_jobrmo]

FINALLY!!! Someone who has done a simple smokey eye look for everyone with just ONE brush....thank goodness I don't need 5 different brushes to apply to 10 different colors to achieve the same thing - this is a beautiful smokey eye look that isn't over the top and doesn't make you look like a zombie - THANK YOU! Looks great! 😘❤

[@cece]

Aww, thank YOU! 💖 I sure know that when I started out I didn't have all that stuff either, and you can still do a lot with just one brush. It's all about technique! I am so glad you liked the video and that it was helpful to you 🥰

[@charitybrown5248]

I like how well you explained things - it was in a logical pattern, "four shades from lightest to darkest". Other peoples videos just show different colors blobbed on. This video had a logical flow : )

[@cece]

Thank you! 😄 Yeah I tried to simplify it as best as I could, I'm so glad you liked it! 😊

[@OpalRose1000]

Honestly, this is the best tutorial I’ve found so far. It’s short and simple and I think I literally just achieved my first perfect simple smokey eye with this video. The only thing I’d add is applying primer or concealer on the eye before hand (then again I wasn’t working with the most high quality pigmented shadow). All that to say, THANK YOU for this video!! 🙏🏻

[@cece]

I agree, a primer’s always a good idea if you feel like you have trouble with shadow payoff or longevity, so that’s great! Feel free to add whatever products you feel will help you, and play around to find what suits YOU the best! 😊 I’m so happy to hear that it helped you and thank you for your kind words 🥰

[@TheGemGoddess]

[@aniyamarie8370]

I love this video! I’ve been looking everywhere for a simple smoky eye tutorial for a couple of years now and each video I come across is either extremely confusing or too long. This video was short but perfect for someone who wants something simple. Other makeup artists take about 20 minutes to place 3-4 eyeshadows on their lids with different brushes that are always name brand. It’s frustrating but this video? I finished it satisfied.😌💜

[@cece]

Oh wow, thanks girl! I am so happy you found it helpful, and thank you so much for the sweet comment! 😊💕

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this short and clearly comprehensible video! There are a million smoky eye tutorials out there, but most of them go on and on and on and on and ZZZZZZzzzzzz .... by the time they're over, I've forgotten how to do it. AND they spend so much time talking about their sponsors' products - which one clearly MUST use in order to get the same effect! 😆😆 Not only was your tutorial brief and easy to follow, I was also able to do one eye right along with you in real time as it rolled, which made it MUCH easier to retain the correct procedure in memory. Well done! 👍 On the basis of having seen this, I look forward to checking out your other videos too!

[@cece]

Wow, thank you so much for taking your time to write this, you are too sweet!! 🤍 Haha yes I know what you mean! And I'm always big on making whatever you already own work, that's how I learned to do my makeup when I was starting out, and still do now. I feel like it aids in the learning process too, adding one extra layer of creativity and problem solving if you will 😊 Thank you again, I'm so glad you found the video helpful! And good job keeping up with it and following the steps in real time - I'm positive I wouldn't even be able to keep up lol! 😅🥰
