10 Products That Will Give You Smokey Eyes In Just One Step

Creating a smokey eye can be overwhelming and flat out disastrous. If you haven’t got a clue on how to blend, pat or dust product onto your eyelids, you could end up with a serious problem on your hands and face. Furthermore, if you’ve got a heavy hand, creating a smokey eye can be twice as difficult. When working with dark pigment, the “less is more” mantra is in full effect. How much is too much? The answer becomes quite obvious when your selfies start to look raccoon-ish. If you struggle with portion control or applying eye shadow in general, worry no more. Contrary to complicated palettes, these products will color your lids in just one step. Consider this your official goodbye to future beauty blunders.
