For those looking for some beauty inspiration, look no further than these classic, yet always sexy smoky eyed editorials. By far my favorite makeup look for evening, this eye makeup technique is a lot simpler than it seems and definitely easier to achieve than most people believe.
A bold smoky eye is a great makeup approach to editorial spreads due to its attention grabbing and stunning nature. These smoky eyed editorials can be done with literally any eyeshadow colors, so your look can compliment your clothing perfectly.
A smoky eye can also be an incredible defining feature and the main attraction in a photo spread. Take a look through these gorgeous editorials for some inspiration for your next stunning night out.
