5 Stars Share Their Smoky Eye Makeup Tips

  1. Dita Von Teese

Dita always does her foundation after the eye makeup so she can easily clean up any spillages: “I switch up my process a lot. If I’m going to do a smoky eye, I’ll do the eyes first and foundation after. I like a really intense smoky eye, and it’s hard to keep it off the bottom of your face.”

Ellen builds a solid base by applying a good moisturizer first which also helps the product to smudge better: “For a smoky eye, moisturize the area first, so when you line the lid with a pencil it will smudge naturally.”
