Beautiful, smoky eyes never go out of style -especially in the fall/winter months when you really want your eyes to “pop” with a dramatic look. Learn how to perfect this classic look with The Sonya Colour Collection in just a few easy steps:
1. Sonya Colour Concealer Wheel
Smoky eyes require a lot of eye shadow. To avoid the
“melting” look or creases of colour, use just a touch of
Lilac from the Sonya Colour Concealer Wheel (#184)
applied to your lid. Use it as a primer for a perfect eyeshadow base.
2. Sonya Eye Pencil
Apply Sonya Eye Pencil in Midnight Black (#174) to your upper lash line, making it thicker in the middle and extending just past the end of the outer part of the eye. Line the bottom lashes a bit less than the top, and make sure to smudge the liner with a good Eye Liner Smudger. Smoky eyes are not supposed to be “sharp.”

3. Sonya Eye Shadow
Now it’s time to start applying your eye shadow:
• Apply a light colour base over the entire lid, up to the brow bone. Linen (#135) and Moonlight (#149) are two great colour choices that blend easily into
every skin tone.
• Next, apply a darker shadow, from your lash line to your eyelid crease. Crystal Waters (#148), Birch (#143), and Charcoal (#155) are all excellent colours. Start with a small amount of shadow on your brush, adding just a little bit at a time.
• Use an Eye Shadow Brush to blend the darker shadow into the lighter shadow until the darker colour fades away completely at the crease of the eye.
• Make sure to blend the eye shadow into the eyeliner
to create a deep, soft look. You should not see a distinct line on any part of the eye.
• Blending, softening, practice and patience will perfect your application.
4. Sonya Mascara
Add 2-3 coats of Black Mascara (#170). You can curl your lashes first or simply leave the lashes as they are. You can use an Eyelash Curler to get that extra curl of the lashes.
