Le Smokey Eye Look – How to create it in 3 steps.
The Global Beauty Director for YSL, Tom Pecheux is laying down an easy way to create intense eyes. Together with the help of an eye collection that features couture shadows and dramatic mascaras, Pecheux offers up three “Le Smokey Eye” intensities to choose from– be it a blend of soft shadows or matched with a bold ombre. Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils promises to fluff up your lashes to the power of 9 and stays on for 24 hours, while The Curler version– well it curls. For those who prefer a darker and more intense finish, there is the Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Radical.
There are also two Colour Palettes for Le Smokey Eye 2021 – but only the Couture Colour Clutch Palette Tuxedo which features pops of blue and khaki in its board, is available for sale here.
The smoldering bedroom look is now broken down into three easy steps – first – brush through for dramatic lashes, swipe across to line eyes, and finally smoke the whole look with your choice of couture shadows. For those eager to know how to steer away from creating ‘not-enough-sleep’ looks and instead rock these ‘come-hither my loverboy’ peepers, here is the 3-step tutorial.
How to Le Smokey Eye by Tom Pecheux
“Le Smokey is a new smoking for eyes. My three tips:
First, with your mascara, start right at the beginning of your lashes and bring it up until you create a good lift.
Second, liquid eyeliner will bring a true impact to your eyes and frame them. Third and last, your shadow – use the dab and pull application for your eyeshadow when you want to layer extra texture, color or density. The dab is when you take the tip of your finger, and you dab. Pulling is when you press, and you pull. If you pull, you are going to blend, it makes it more smokey. If you dab, then you get more intensity.”
The Couture Clutch Palette Tuxedo ($159) and Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils ($55) are available from 1 September islandwide at all YSL Beauty stores.
