Recreating Victoria Beckham’s Signature Smoky Eye
Victoria Beckham’s smoky eye look is timeless yet modern. In her recent video tutorial, she revealed her must-have products: the Smoky Eye Brick Eyeshadow Palette and the Satin Kajal Liner in Orchid. Together, these products create a classic smoky eye with a stylish update.
“I use my signature eye palette every single day and then I love to use our colour Kajals for an updated look — take my look up a notch and make it feel fresh,” Beckham explained.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Prime Your Lids: Start with an eyeshadow primer to ensure the look lasts all day and night.
- Base Shadow: Using the lightest shade from the Smoky Eye Brick, dust the entire upper eyelid for a smooth base.
- Define the Contour: Apply a medium-toned brown from the palette along the crease with a fluffy brush. Blend thoroughly for a soft, contoured effect.
- Deepen the Look: Use the darker shade along the lash line and outer corners. Blend upward to create a gradient effect.
- Add a Pop of Color: Apply the Satin Kajal Liner in Orchid, a shimmery mauve, to the upper lash line and smudge it gently with a brush for a soft finish. For a subtler look, opt for the shade Cinnamon, a warm shimmer.
- Lower Lash Line: Use the same Kajal to draw a thin line on the lower lash line. Smudge slightly for a smoky effect that transitions seamlessly.
- Enhance the Drama: For more intensity, apply the Kajal on your waterline.
- Finish with Mascara: Apply your favorite volumizing mascara to complete the look.
