Recreate Malaika Arora’s Brown Smokey Eye Makeup
Step 1: Skincare Soirée
Begin by cleansing, toning, and moisturising your skin. Once the moisturiser is absorbed into your skin, apply a lightweight sunscreen.
Step 2: Base Is Boss
If you nail your base makeup, trust that the rest of your makeup will look professional too. Prime skin and then blend on a hydrating foundation. Use a damp makeup sponge to achieve a skin-like effect. Use a concealer if required and blend it with the sponge.
Step 3: Dazzle & Shine
Blend bronzer into the hairline, jawline, and beneath the cheekbones. Add blush to your cheeks and highlight the high points of your face. Use cream formulas or powder formulas that are infused with shimmer.
Step 4: Smokey Business
Prep your lids with a tinted primer and then use a brown eyeliner pencil to draw a line along the crease of the lids and upper lash lines. Blend the eyeliner so that there are no harsh lines. Use a dark brown eyeshadow on the lash line and blend it upwards. Add a touch of burnt sienna eyeshadow to the centre of the lids. Highlight the brow bones with gold eyeshadow. Stick on false lashes and line the lower lash line with kohl.
Step 5: Pucker Up
Exfoliate your lips with a scrub and then moisturise with a balm. Line your lips with a nude pencil. Swipe on a pearlescent nude lipstick.
