I Tried a TikTok Hack for a Gorgeous Smoky Eye — Here’s What Happened
October 06, 2021
Starting on the outer part of my eye, I swiped one line of each shadow working inwards. Though I have relatively small eyes, I was able to fit five shadow shades along my lids. Disclaimer: at first it feels weird to apply eyeshadow this way, and you’ll need a clean brush for each shade you swipe on. Once all the eyeshadows were placed, I gently blended them out with a clean, fluffy blending brush.
While the end result was nice, I’m not convinced the technique is necessary. There are simpler, less time-consuming ways to create a beautiful smoky eye (for smoky eye application techniques, click here). If you’re bored and looking for a new way to experiment with makeup, I’d definitely try this out, but otherwise, this is one TikTok beauty hack that you can skip.
