If you love Rihanna as much as we do then you will know why we want to recreate her perfect, sultry smoky eye. This video tutorial makes it easy.
Fact: Rihanna can do no wrong – singing, acting, make-up, and now her most recent achievement, fashion design. We want to follow in RiRi’s amazing footsteps (who doesn’t) and though we can’t suddenly launch a make-up and fashion line, we can recreate her perfect, sultry smoky eye.
1
CREATE A DEWY BASE WITH A HYDRATING FOUNDATION
Hydrating foundations are key if you're after a luminous and flawless complexion, as they generally contain light-reflective optics that brighten and even out the skin tone.
2
PREP EYELIDS WITH A PRESSED POWDER OR LID PRIMER
Using an oil-free lid primer or patting a pressed powder onto your lid will ensure your eye make-up stays put all day and well into the evening.
3
LINE YOUR TOP AND BOTTOM LASH LINE WITH A DARK BROWN SHADOW
This step is important in order to draw attention to your eyes. Keep the darkest point at the lash line for a modern, fresh look.
4
APPLY A LIGHT SHADOW TO THE CREASE
Adding a lighter shade to the crease of your eye and the lid will attract light, making your eyes appear bigger.
5
USING AN EYELINER BRUSH, APPLY BLACK LINER TO YOUT UPPER LASH LINE AND THE BOTTOM CORNER OF YOUR LOWER LASH LINE
This step will help add more definition as well as amplify the impact of your smoky-eye look.
6
USING A BLENDING BLUSH, DIFFUSE THE BROWN EYE SHADOW TO CREATE MORE OF A SMOKY EFFECT
When it comes to creating the ultimate smoky eye, blending is your friend! For a smokier finish, use a good blending brush.
7
APPLY MASCARA TO YOUR TOP AND BOTTOM LASHES
The all-important final touch to your smoky eye is layering three to four coats of mascara to your top and bottom lashes to really make your eyes pop.
8
APPLY YOUR CONTOURING SHADE SLIGHTLY UNDERNEATH YOUR CHEEKBONES
Your contour colour is usually a darker matte shade, and when applied to the hollow area just below the cheekbones it creates the illusion of a more chiselled bone structure.
9
PAT A CREAMY HIGHLIGHTER TO THE TOP OF YOUR CHEEKBONES, ALONG THE BRIDGE OF YOUR NOSE AND YOUR CUPID’S BOW, AND AT THE CENTRE OF YOUR CHIN
A cream highlighter differs greatly from the powder and liquid forms, and tends to be more matte, which is ideal if you're after a sculpted look.
10
USING A FAN BRUSH, DIFFUSE YOUR BLUSH ACROSS THE APPLES OF YOUR CHEEKS
Thanks to the soft finish it imparts, using a fan brush to apply your blusher will ensure a more natural flush, which is the perfect pairing to a bold-eye look.
11
LINE LIPS WITH A NUDE LIP LINER
Applying a nude lip liner will not only add definition to your lips but will also ensure longevity of your lip colour.
12
CHOOSE AND APPLY A MATTE NUDE LIPSTICK CLOSEST TO YOUR NATURAL LIP COLOUR
Pairing your sultry smoky eye with a matte lip will ensure your eyes are the main focus.
13
FOR THE FINISHING TOUCH, SET YOUR MAKE-UP WITH A SETTING SPRAY
If you want your make-up look to stay in place and last all day long and night, this final step is a must.GET THE LOOK
