Smokey Eye Makeup Masterclass for all eye shapes

Smokey Eye Makeup Masterclass
This Smokey Eye Makeup Masterclass was inspired after watching a friend trying to create a heavier eye makeup, something that she wasn’t used to doing. She was frustrated that it didn't flatter her eyes and I could instantly see where she had gone wrong. So I thought it would be helpful to film and show you how I would create a smokey eye using technical rules which can be varied for for different eye shapes and handy tips to stop you getting into a mess with a dark eye shadow.
Let me know your thoughts and if you have a go yourself, whether it’s helped.
Have a great weekend,
Caroline x

You look lovely. Definitely going to try this look

[@elainewhitney1609]

Beautiful Smokey eye. I shall give it a go for our 33rd Anniversary dinner. 😍. Have a great week. Xx

[@daniellereid01]

I have to say, I wasn’t sure about the colourway of the Nars eye palette at first, but I changed my mind as soon as you applied it, Caroline. It’s absolutely beautiful and it looks stunning on you. Thank you for showing us this and for all of your great tips ❤

[@audreyso1201]

Hello Caroline, I looooooooove smokey eyes and yours is particularly beautiful. Well done, you are super beautiful🤩🤩🤩

[@pattidownes5832]

Hi Caroline, I used your Dermatica code and have been using my treatment for a couple of weeks - thank you 🥰 And with the Dermatica Black Friday deal I got £115 worth of skin care for £57 - cleanser, serum, mosituriser, SPR & balm! xxx

[@karenover50]

Best tutorial. I finally understand a smoky eye. So sexy. Will you show a smoky eye on a very deep set eye? And I’d love to see this again in other colors. Just gorgeous!!’

[@espritmagique]

Such a beautiful eye look! Love it! Going to experiment with my eyeshadows now. ❤

[@maureenormston8356]

Oh wow that eye 😳👍. Stunning, I love it.

Lovely look, thank you! Might try it at the village panto tonite!

I love your videos. I find it very calming. Yes would you please do a detailed brow tutorial I would really appreciate it thank you

[@annhershey8111]

Love this. My holiday go to this season !

[@clare4191]

Ooooh I've been looking forward to this all week and it didn't disappoint. Thanks, Caroline! I love your modern take on a smokey eye and it was great to see how you balance cheeks and lips to keep the focus on the eyes. I think I've been going in too heavy with dark browns or greys with matte black eyeshadow, which after seeing this, probably makes my lashes disappear and so can make the overall look seem closed and OTT. I have hooded eyes so I need the balance of some colour underneath (another thing I've learned from you!), but I can see where I've been going wrong and been a bit heavy handed. This is a great lesson in less is more! I really feel confident to recreate this look as it feels more sophisticated. I have to go in a little more exaggerated than yours because my glasses make my eyes smaller. Could we have a glasses tutorial at some point, Caroline? 🙏 Thanks for giving me knowledge and confidence, I'll be in my PJs watching Strictly tonight with fab, sultry eyes! 🤣X

[@MartinaMcDonagh]

Thank you, Caroline, for such a gorgeous look. What a difference it makes when a professional is in charge !! Love this smoky eye, and will definitely give it a try with your tips about the 'concealer markers', seems very helpful! I really like the lip too, have you tried the Maybelline Lifter Glorss (with HA)? really, really nice and very flattering on my 50+ lips, with the disappearing borders! 🤣🤣🤣

[@user-rq5gi1dx6w]

love the lip shade! eyes look great!

[@katemakeuplooks]

Gorgeous look ❤ I find I can apply that sort of dark powder to someone else, no problem, but panic when I try to do a dark smoky eye on myself. It helps that, instead of powder, I use a dark eyeshadow crayon, brand unimportant. That way you can smudge and blend without worrying about fallout and it can be easily wiped clean if it goes in the wrong place…. Powder can then be carefully pressed on top if you wish and you have a guide. Have a great weekend all! ❤xxx

[@dorourke2484]

I’m very well today but I did get the east hold mirror for my daughter because she’s travelling around doing panto I think she’ll be delighted with it

[@jillianpurdy2542]

Morning Caroline!! Thank you for this tutorial. Never mastered the smokey eye so once I'm able to apply make up following my recent eye surgery, I'll give this a go!! You look fab!! Xx❤

Saturday morning ✔️ Coffee ✔️ Caroline ✔️ Absolutely beautiful eye, I’ll have to try…I have very hooded and I tend to droop at the outer edge. I’ll try the concealer trick. I know you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving but Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍽🍁 So thankful for you Caroline.

You did it again!

Fabulous tutorial Caroline 🥰xx

Thank you Caroline ❤ so looking forward to this video . Very helpful and a beautiful finished look 🤗.

[@iga1133]

Beautiful makeup, your eyes look amazing Caroline! have a great week

[@johannbradley7071]

Loved this!🙏🏻 With small hooded eyes and no (not much) space between crease and brows I really need to make eyes look bigger by utilising the lower lash line with shadow and/or pencil - can you show/explain how to do this please? At age 56 lid/brow skin also drops, so even taking shadow out to the sides of eyes can look droopy 😕 Thank-you Caroline! 🤗

[@sheenaharris8817]

Caroline would you still recommend this look if your lower lashes are very sparse? Thanks x

[@tallisinwonderland4724]

I am definitely a mucky pup 🙋‍♀️ 😂 my eyeshadow always migrates. This was a lovely look ❤❤

[@lisadownham2257]

I love the maybelline vinyl lip inks, i give mine a really good shake before using - apparantly thats what you’re meant to do! Intensifies the colour! Just a tip!!

[@jowestley4539]

Lovely look and brilliant, practical, gonna-give-that-a-go tips! Especially love that plummy eyeshadow. Does anyone know where to get a similar colour in a single, rather than a whole palette?

[@jennyhicks1930]

I just never dare put such dark colours on my eyes, I always end up wiping it off and starting again with a more subtle look , it never looks right on my mid 60’s eyes!

[@fionareddick2572]

Great look, modern Smokey and wearable too! I have now learned that I need to start being braver with the deeper shade first otherwise it gets either wispy washy or muddy. What shade would look best with hazel eyes and light/medium neutral skin? I’ve experimented with browns and it just doesn’t brighten my eyes, looks flat instead.

[@audreybunyan1493]

I have always had really heavy hooded eyes and, this would just be lost on my lids.

[@Veronicaperezgomez]

i lovee your earrings what brand is?

[@officialthehandsbigadventures]

You make makeup application appear so effortless. My problem lately is I feel like my eyes always look tired, especially with makeup on. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but they're small, down turned eyes and I always look tired.

[@mhmh7532]

Morning Caroline! Cup of coffee and a video to start my Saturday 🙂 I always end up looking tired when doing a smokey eye. Your tips are very helpful, so I'm trying again today. Can you suggest a good eye lash primer? That might help me to bring out the eye lashes more I hope. Enjoy your weekend!

[@40loopylou1]

If you’ll excuse the name, I’ve just started using Too Faced Better than Sex eyelash primer - and the best results are to not let it dry before adding the first coat of mascara

[@mhmh7532]

@@40loopylou1 Thank you. I'll give it a try.

[@rachelgibbons3447]

Is there a particular eye primer you could recommend for not making eyelids look dry and crepey? My eyes look normal (for a 53 year old with generally good skin, few lines), until I put primer on, and then I look like crinkle central! I have tried elf, Beautypie, Milani, MAC Paint pots, but all the same end result 😳. Thank you Rx

[@Iidamari1]

Seems like you ended up with something completely different than smoky eye. Beautiful altogether, but not what you told in the beginning of the video (darkest color near the lashline).

[@annay9562]

Completely agree! Messy.

[@MarianneGilhuly]

A bit confusing
