Products Needed

First, before you begin, be sure to prepare your makeup products. You don’t need to spend a fortune on the most expensive Halloween smoky eye makeup, but good makeup is always worth it because it will make you look even more stunning.

• Eyeshadow Primer – A good primer will help your eyeshadow stay in place and stay put all night long.
• Eyeshadow – Choose an eyeshadow palette with a rich black, deep purple, or metallic hue. These colors create a deep, dark smoky eye.
• Eyeliner – Black eyeliner helps define your eyes and is especially suitable for gothic or dramatic looks.
• Mascara and False Lashes – Use mascara to create a full, dramatic look, making your eyes appear fuller and more captivating.
• Blending Brush – You’ll also need a blending brush to prevent eyeliner from smudging and to evenly blend the color.

Halloween Smoky Eye Look Steps

Step 1: Eye Prep

First, prime your eyelids. Apply eyeshadow primer to your eyelids, as it helps hold your eyeshadow in place, prevents it from creasing, and helps it last longer.

If you don’t have a primer, apply a thin layer of foundation or concealer. This will neutralize the color of your eyelids and create a good surface for your smoky eye.

Step 2: Create the Eye Sockets

Start by creating your eye sockets with a transition color. Light brown or taupe is ideal. Take a lighter shade than your eye socket and apply with a fluffy blending brush. The darker color will blend with the eye socket color.

Step 3: Apply a Dark Eyeshadow

Finally, to achieve a classic Halloween smoky eye, create a dramatic look. Choose a dark eyeshadow, such as black, deep purple, or dark burgundy. Use a flat eyeshadow brush to apply to your eyelids. Close to the base of your lashes, gently sweep upwards.

A smoky eye requires layering, so apply dark eyeshadow sparingly and then build up in layers. Use an eyeshadow brush to blend the eyeshadow evenly into the creases of your eyes to minimize the appearance of a thick liner.

Step 4: Blend to create a smoky effect

Use a clean eyeshadow brush to blend the transition shade and then blend the edges of the black eyeshadow to create a silkier, smoother transition between the shades. The more gradients you blend, the more pronounced your smoky eye will be.

Step 5: Add dimension

To make your Halloween smoky eye look even more striking, apply shimmery eyeshadow to the inner corners of your eyes. This will open and enlarge your eyes. Applying a lighter eyeshadow to your brow bone will highlight the brow bone and create a fuller look.

Step 6: Line your eyes

For an even more dramatic effect, line your upper lashes with black eyeliner. This will add depth to the eyes and create a more defined, dramatic, and bold look.

Step 7: Blend your lower lash line

Don’t miss out on your lower lash line either. Use a small eyeliner brush with the same dark eyeshadow to define your lower lash line. Blend it for a smoky look, or leave a sharp outline for a dramatic effect.

Step 8: Mascara and False Lashes

Finally, apply a thick coat of mascara to both your upper and lower lashes to complete the look. Adding false lashes will make the effect even more dramatic. This will enhance your Halloween smoky eye and add a bright, edgy touch to the overall look.

Tips for a long-lasting Halloween smoky eye

Halloween is a big holiday, and you don’t want to worry about your makeup smudging or creasing. If you need a long-lasting Halloween smoky eye, here are some tips:

• Set your makeup – After applying your eye makeup, use a setting spray. Sprays are designed to prevent smudging or creasing.
• Use long-wear products – If you have to work overtime, use long-wear eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara.
• Bring makeup remover—in case your eye makeup smudges, grab makeup remover wipes for quick removal.
