Blue smoky eye makeup is a great choice when you need a dazzling and stunning look. This look can be created using seductive hues like sapphire, blue, and navy, which suit brown-eyed people.
What is a smokey eye look?
As the name suggests, smoky eye makeup combines dark eyeshadow and eyeliner into lighter eyeshadow to produce a "smokey" look. The look may range from a gentle mixing of colors to smearing that looks like I just slept in my makeup.
The smoky eye, originally only done with black and grey, has developed into a technique that can be utilized with any color you can imagine, including warm tones, cold tones, rainbow hues, and any other color you can conceive of. The possibilities are endless as long as your color choices produce the necessary contrast.
The inner corner of the eye is now accentuated with metallic or glittery makeup to highlight smoky eyes. This look improves the appearance and increases the drama and contrast, making it a staple among influencers and celebrities.

Beginner’s guide on basic blue smokey eye makeup
1. Prep your lids
Use eyeshadow primer or concealer as a base on your eyelid. This step ensures that the eyeshadow will last and stay put throughout the day.
2. Cover your lids with the medium shade
Your medium shade will be the foundation of the eye look, so pick a color that complements your darker shade. You can opt for neutral browns or beige for a more subtle look.
3. Do your eyeliner
When lining your eyes, make sure to get between your lashes for coverage without gaps. Don't worry about how perfect the liner is since it'll be smudged and blended with the other eyeshadow.
4. Apply the blue eyeshadow shad
Use the blue eyeshadow shade over your liner and in the crease and outer corners of your eyes.
5. Dab some shimmer
Add a light shimmer on the inner corner of your eye for contrast. When choosing a color for the light shimmer, try to pick one that complements the other colors from the look.
