The light haze effect when applying makeup gives the look a special appeal. In the smokey ice technique for blue eyes, many shades of the color palette can be used. The most important thing is that they match perfectly with the color of the skin and iris.
Translated from English smoky eyes means smoky makeup. A similar technique, which also used several shades of shadow, was once widely used to create the image of a vamp woman. But this makeup was done in very dark colors and looked very rough. Today this technique has changed, it began to use less harsh and coarse tones, so with the help of it you can create not only evening, but also everyday images.
The basic principle of smokey ice is layered application followed by shading of eyeliner and eyeshadow. Eyes shaped like this look like they are shrouded in a light haze. That is why this method has received a similar name. Moreover, in this make-up it is absolutely not necessary to use only gray and blue tones - the colors can be very different. The most important thing is to use them in moderation so that there are no rough shades and abrupt transitions.
Advice! Oddly enough, the most common mistake when applying makeup is improper lighting. It is better to paint eyes in daylight or rather bright, but not too intense artificial light.
Depending on the purpose (daytime or evening), different shades of cosmetics can be used in smokey ice makeup for blue eyes - from matte gray to more daring and spectacular purple and blue.
Since the choice of the "right" makeup colors is 90% of success, let's dwell on it in more detail. Each eye color has its own color palette... Moreover, her tones depend not only on the shade of the iris of the eyes, but also on the color type of the skin. For example, colors with an admixture of ash are more suitable for owners of winter skin: pink, steel, pearl, silver or lavender. Use a dark gray, black or graphite eyeliner.
The skin of representatives of the "summer" type also refers to cold shades. But, if the skin "winter" is snow-white, with a slight bluish tint, without blush, then its summer type is less bright and has a slight yellowish undertone. Therefore, in the latter case, it is better to use shadows and a pencil of muted shades. If "summer" girls have mostly light brown hair, like all Europeans, then "winter" skin is most often combined with dark black or brown curls.
Red-haired women or beauties with brown hair color (type "autumn") are more suitable for warm coffee, bronze or beige-gold tones of cosmetics. You can also use a small amount of olive or marsh shades. For spring skin, in which warm shades are less pronounced, it is better to use lighter peach or delicate light brown shades.
If you are at a loss to answer what color type your skin belongs to, put a colored scarf around your neck and go to the mirror. If blue suits you more, then your skin has a cold tint. Peach or golden tones are more suitable for warm skin tones.
In addition to the type of skin, the intensity of the color of the skin and hair should also be taken into account. So, too bright shades are absolutely not suitable for blondes - they make the look unnecessarily rough. On the contrary, it is unacceptable for dark-skinned women to use too light colors. Since the shade of the iris of the eyes can vary, the intensity of their color is also taken into account. So, smokey ice for gray-blue eyes can be fundamentally different from eye makeup for saturated blue, almost blue or light blue.
Advice!Silver jewelry suits women of cold skin more. If the skin is warm, then it blends perfectly with gold.
Since smokey ice can be performed in a variety of tones, first of all, you need to choose several types of shadows of a similar shade or purchase a ready-made palette (set of shadows) of the required tones. For the classic smoky smoky ice, a palette in gray tones is selected. For blue eyes, you can also use the following types of palettes:
For evening make-up, more saturated turquoise, bronze, steel, dark blue, swamp shades, mocha or chocolate colors are chosen. We also need a foundation, concealer (a product for correcting minor skin imperfections), an eyebrow pencil or shadow, as well as eyeliner and mascara in similar shades.
The following tools should also be prepared:
Advice! Eyeshadow and mascara should never be in the same shade as your eye color. Otherwise, their iris will simply merge with the makeup.
So how to make smokey ice for blue eyes? The very first arrows are drawn. Depending on the chosen shade of the shadows of receipt, an eyeliner or a soft pencil of dark gray, brown or black is also selected.
In the very corner of the eye, the arrow should be as thin as possible, then, passing along the line of the eyelid, it will gradually expand and rise somewhat to the temples. This technique helps to achieve more expressiveness.
Advice!In the smokey ice technique, the arrows are also shaded to obtain a smoky effect. This is done with a very thin brush.
Before applying decorative cosmetics, it is imperative to moisturize the skin with a suitable cream or tonic, and then remove the excess with a napkin. Further, the base tonal base is applied to it, which helps the decorative cosmetics to be distributed more evenly, and powder. It is better to apply both products with sponges.
The tonal basis is selected necessarily tone in tone with your own skin tone. The cilia, if necessary, are slightly twisted with tweezers.
In order for such a make-up to look whole and harmonious, cosmetics should be applied according to certain rules. So, let's look at the process of applying smokey ice for blue eyes step by step:
If you wish, you can imitate smokey ice with just two shades of shadows. In this case, the intensity of the color is changed - in the outer corners of the eyes and in the area above the eyelid, they are applied a little more than in other areas. The boundaries of the transitions are also carefully shaded.
Advice! A clear border between colors is unacceptable. It must be very carefully shaded in such a way that outwardly it looks like very smooth transitions from one shade to another.
A bright and expressive smoky ice for blue eyes (see photo) requires an equally bright frame. However, the color of the pencil or eyebrow shadow should only be a couple of shades darker than your own hair. The color is selected as close to natural as possible.
For daytime eyebrow makeup, it is advisable to use only shadows. They fit more evenly and look more natural. Such shadows should have a matte texture without pearlescent sheen. They are applied with a fairly stiff brush with slightly beveled edges and not too long bristles so that the space between the hairs is only slightly shaded.
If necessary, the shape and width of the eyebrows should be corrected. So, you should not leave them too wide, unless your eyes are too large and your lips are narrow. Large features can be smoothed out with slightly elongated, well-defined eyebrows. If the corners of the eyebrows go down and the face looks droopy, their tips are adjusted and slightly raised up.
Advice! Evening makeup is naturally brighter. Since natural shades are in fashion, lighter natural shades of shadows are selected for daytime make-up.
Concealer is called special means for point correction of facial defects. Very often, reflective particles are added to it, with the help of which wrinkles and small pimples become less noticeable. It can also be used to disguise age spots, small scars or circles under the eyes.
We emphasize once again that this tool is applied only pointwise. It is not worth highlighting the skin too much with a liquid, creamy or coyceler pencil - otherwise it will be too conspicuous, especially against the background of bright makeup. It is enough to gently shade a small drop of the product from the center to the edges, and then cover it with a small layer of powder on top.
For the correct selection of this type of cosmetics, use the following small memo:
Advice! Pimples or redness can be visually hidden with a greenish concealer. The circles under the eyes are covered with an orange or apricot concealer.
Evening makeup should be more expressive. The step-by-step instructions for smokey ice for blue eyes in this case are almost the same as described above, with the exception of some details:
Advice! In a make-up, there is an immutable rule - one thing is made brighter, eyes or lips. Since smokey ice means creating an accent exactly in the eyes, lipstick is chosen less catchy for it.
You can watch a detailed master class on smoky eyes in the following video:
Smokey Ice makeup is created for those who are used to charming men at first sight. Only this eye shadow technique can create a truly eye-catching look. The unprecedented popularity of "smoky eyes" can also be explained by the fact that such a make up is suitable for all women, without exception. In order to achieve a fatal mesmerizing look, only one thing is necessary: master the technique of application, choosing the right shades and their intensity.
What is smokey ice makeup? What are its main differences from the rest? To begin with, it should be said that "smokey ice" literally translates as "smoky eyes". This name fully justifies itself, because this technique involves careful shading of the shadows, thanks to which a languid and smoky look is achieved. In addition, this method of applying shadows makes the line of the eyes more expressive and outlined. Even deep-set and small eyes will look brighter.
The smokey ice technique will also be an excellent choice for those who want to correct the shape of the eyes, in particular, to visually raise the corners, hide fine wrinkles, make the fixed eyelids taller, and visually “open up” the eyes.
This make up has one more feature: you can use shadows of various shades to create it. The opinion that only black shadows are suitable for smoky eyes is wrong. Dark eyes are the most common, you can't argue here, but this is far from the only option. Violet, turquoise, pearl, lavender, purple, gold, pink and blue shades are suitable for "smokey ice". Graphite shades look great.
In order for your eyes to look the way you intended, you first need to make sure that you own more than all necessary knowledge, but also "tools".

Smokey ice makeup: sequence of execution
The proposed technique for performing "smokey ice", of course, is not the only one. However, it is used most often. There are other options for this makeup. For example, if you use the classic model, instead of the usual black shadows, you can use a thicker line drawn with a pencil. Such a black strip is shaded up the moving eyelid. This operation is best done with the pads of your fingers, without the need for applicators or brushes. By the way, some makeup artists even draw a line with a pencil only at the very end, after applying the shadows.

"Smoky Ice" is a great option for both casual and evening looks. Of course, for the everyday version, you should select calmer and softer tones that will not attract undue attention to themselves, distracting from work and other affairs. A great option would be to use gray-brown tones. This color range can be used by a woman with any color type and eye color. In this case, it is better to refrain from drawing bright arrows.
Taupe "smokey ice": step-by-step instruction
We prepare brushes for visage, mascara, light milky and brown-gray shadows, brown pencil in soft tones.
Step one. We apply a base for future shadows on movable eyelids and a small amount on the lower growth lines of the cilia.
Step two. We take the prepared pencil and draw in the lower and upper eyelash growth lines. The lines can be made quite wide and not necessarily neat and clear, since they will need to be shaded in the future.
Step three. Take a small eye brush and start blending the eyeliner up and down. The result should be a smoky line.
Step four. Using a scapula brush, you need to apply shadows to the area of the eye where the pencil was shaded. This should be done with patting movements.
Step five. Now you need a "keg" brush, with the help of which you need to carefully shade all the upper borders of the shadows. This should be done so that the color changes its intensity downward (darker tones on the moving eyelid and lighter in the fold and on the surface of the fixed eyelid).
Step six. Apply shadows of a light milky shade under the eyebrow. After that, you should evaluate the result obtained. If the main shadows turned out to be too dark, you can use the same "barrel" and light shadows to correct the unsuccessful areas.
Step seven. We take mascara. Apply to eyelashes. We repeat once more.
The classic "smokey ice" is one based on the use of black eyeshadows. Most suitable for evening events.
Step 1. Apply the base to the crease and the movable eyelid.
Step 2. On the upper eyelid along the line of growth of the eyelashes, draw an arrow with a pencil. We also bring the lower eyelid, but only to the middle of the eye.
Steps 3-4. We draw the arrow to the outer corner and draw out the eyelid fold with a pencil. After that, all lines of the pencil should be gently shaded.
Steps 5-6. Take black shadows and use a brush to apply them to the lines drawn with a pencil. To prevent the shadows from crumpling, it is better to apply them with patting movements. If the look is too dark, you can add some gray shadows.
Steps 7-8. Now you need to fill all the voids on the movable eyelid. To do this, shade the bottom line and connect it to the outer corner.
If desired, you can apply a small amount of mother-of-pearl to the brow area and to the inner corner. Paint over your eyelashes twice and your makeup is ready!
Consider another series of step-by-step instructions:
In order for your seductive image not to seem sloppy and vulgar, you need to adhere to certain rules and recommendations:
It is very important to consider the color of the eyes themselves. Green eyes "make friends" with golden, chocolate, purple and green shadows. Blue eyes will "give preference" to pale pink, bright blue, jet black, lavender, lilac, golden, silver and brown visage. Shadows opposite in tone to the iris will make blue eyes especially expressive. "Brown eyes" with dark skin can use olive and brown shades, with light - lilac or cornflower blue. The owners were most fortunate gray eyes... In their case, you can use any shadows.
As you know, everything is good in moderation. This statement also applies to makeup. Especially if you plan such a noticeable and self-sufficient eye makeup like "Smokey Ice". As mentioned above, this makeup allows you to use a variety of shades. However, if you plan to apply excessively bright colors, then you should be extremely careful. Excess blue and purple-plum shadows can give a sick look.
The same applies to the overuse of black pencils and shadows. If you draw too thick a line or apply too much shadow, you can get a "raccoon or panda effect." The sequence of applying makeup is also very important. Make-up should always start with the eyes, so that later dirty circles from foundation and powder do not form around them.

The first thing to do before applying smokey ice is to properly prepare the skin. There should be no flaws on it. Of course, perfectly even and smooth skin without rashes and redness is a real rarity. Therefore, be sure to use special concealers.
Moisturize your skin with toner, then apply your usual day cream. After the cream is completely absorbed, blot the skin with a napkin - this will help remove the remaining cream. Use concealer to hide pimples and redness, concealer to mask bruises under the eyes.
Corrector yellow color It is used to mask dark circles under the eyes, redness and rashes are covered with an antibacterial green corrector.
A foundation is applied to the entire face and gently spread with a sponge. Remember that applying foundation with your fingertips creates a thicker layer of cream, and a sponge helps to apply a subtle “veil” of the foundation.
Using a large brush, apply powder that will securely fix the result, removing unpleasant oily skin shine and ensuring long-lasting makeup for many hours. After all these manipulations, you can proceed to direct eye makeup in the style of smokey ice.
A spectacular "smoky" make-up is performed in several stages. An important point is the application of a special base under the eyeshadow, which will fix the makeup and prevent it from spreading throughout the day.

For beautiful design eyebrows, you can use a cosmetic pencil or shadows, the color of which matches the natural color of the eyebrows or may be several shades darker.
Apply blush on the protruding part of the cheekbones with light circular motions. Since the main focus in the make-up is the eyes, the lips should be as natural and natural as possible. Ideal option for the lips will become a colorless gloss, lipstick in a light pink, sand, cream or peach shade.
