Classic Matte Smokey Eye Tutorial

Classic Matte Smokey Eye Tutorial

A smokey eye can be created in lots of different ways, I'm sure we'll be exploring most of them here on this blog but I wanted to start with a true classic. A bright nude lid with a super smokey outer corner that gives such a sultry lifted cat eye effect to the eye. 

You can truly make this look your own, leave out the liner, copy the technique with different tones or even pair with a red lip! This look can be adapted to suit anyone for any occasion, even brides. 

I hope you love it! ❤️ 

SAOI Brushes used - 

S04, S05, S07, S01 & S03

Pro Tips - 

- Base is KEY! You need to properly prep your eyes for this look, if it starts to crease your blend will be ruined. I used Urban Decay primer potion, a bit of concealer and then made sure they were heavily set with translucent powder before starting. 

- If you have hooded or smaller eyes this look will be beautiful on you but I'd recommend starting the look with our smaller brushes. Instead of starting with S04, S05 & S07 I'd replace with S03, S04 & S05 to make sure you get the same precise look. 

Products used -

Huda Beauty black kohl pencil, Urban Decay black eyeshadow, Beauty Bay fiery mattes palette, Inglot gel liner shade 77, Babydoll lashes style 603.

Superb brushes worth investing in!

As a makeup artist for over twenty years I’ve constantly struggled to find the perfect tools for makeup especially eye brushes and I’ve tried every brand under the sun. Serena is an extremely talented artist & content creator so when I heard she had developed her own line of brushes I had to try them! Wow these brushes are perfection!!! and a make-up artists dream! Serena you nailed it! Every girl who is into makeup needs these eye-makeup brushes in her life!!

Brilliant brush set!

I’m so happy with this brush set. I already had a load of ‘normal’ blending brushes, but they just couldn’t get the job done. My eyes are mature and deepest, these brushes are so good in detailed work. Placement of the shadows is everything to me, and thanks to these brushes, it is a walk in the park.
Thank you!

High Quality Brushes

Bought this set of brushes for my wife and she adores it. I don’t know much about makeup, but I know terrific quality when I see it and these brushes are built to last. Just the look, feel, and overall aesthetics of them exude quality.

Best brushes I have ever used!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about these brushes! Total game changer! The S02 brush is hands down the best liner brush on the market, I have no idea how I went so long without it. All the brushes are fantastic but S02 is a must have ! I am 52 years old and the brushes are great for eyes that have creases in them!

Bought these for my fiancée and she loves them

My missus is a long time fan of Serena’s makeup looks and I bought this set for her as a surprise. She adores it. Says she can finally do all the precise looks she wants to do and couldn’t before. They haven’t chipped or frayed or anything like that! Couldn’t recommend them enough.
