Solange Knowles does it again with this great makeup look, beautiful full brows, big natural hair and smoky eyes. The smoky eye never gets old, as it is one of the most requested looks from my clients. You can try to create this look at home with the rights tools and techniques. Try these “Do It Yourself” quick tips to get this coveted look.

Prime: Apply an eye shadow primer or cream shadow to the lid. This will make the color more intense and help the color to stay on all day. I have noticed a lot of my fellow YouTubers seem to like the pencils from NYX Cosmetics. Take a look.

Tools: You will need a flat brush to layer the shadow on multiple times and create a deep sultry dark smoky eye. Try brush #242 from MAC. I love it because you can use it for concealer too.

Shade: Solange is wearing the most popular shade for a smoky eye, but I love to see the smoky eye in different colors. Be creative. Try creating this look with the classic black, blue or even purple.

Line: Line your upper lash line and inner rim of the lower lash line with a black eyeliner. Be sure to smudge the liner to create the smoky effect. Finish with black mascara and a pair of lashes and you’re done. Remember not to over do makeup by keeping the rest of your face neutral. What DIY makeup tips would you like to see here?
