One of the most talented actresses in Bollywood is Sara Ali Khan. She has a huge fan base on Instagram and she doesn’t hesitate to be open about who she really is online. Sara loves to keep things straight and real in the photo sharing app, whether she’s posting no-makeup selfies or giving a glimpse into her personal and professional life. The actress recently shared a beautiful photo with her followers on Instagram stories on Wednesday. She can be seen in the same photo showing off her smoky eyes, winged eyeliner and wavy hair.
How to achieve Sara Ali Khan’s smoldering smokey eye makeup in 8 easy steps
In the photo, Sara is seen all decked out returning from her shoot in her car and it looks like the actress is stuck in traffic. De Atrangi Re called it a carfie, wrote the Atrangi Re: “post pack-up carfie, Traffic jam.” Her gelled hair is styled in frizzy waves and a monochromatic nude makeup with smokey eyes looks great and we have decoded how to recreate Sara’s smokey eye makeup in simple steps.
1. Prime your lid.
To avoid shadow fall and blemishes later in the day, prime the eye area first. You can prime with an illuminating concealer or an eyeshadow primer; both will help smooth out your eye area and give your makeup something to cling to.
2. Choose your eyeshadow shades.
A traditional smoky eye uses three colors: a mobile eyelid color (the area that moves when you blink), a crease color, and a highlight color. The highlight shades are usually the lightest, the crease shades are usually the darkest, and the movable lid shade is often a mid-tone. Matte colors in the black, brown, gray, navy or green families are often used to create a traditional smokey eye, but don’t hesitate to experiment with lighter or more vibrant shades.
3. Apply your all-over eyeshadow shade.
Apply the color you chose as your moveable eyeshadow (or all-over eyeshadow) to your lid with a flat eyeshadow brush. To make it look more like a gradient and less like a giant saturated color area, blend it very thoroughly from the lower part of your lid to the middle of the lid.
4. Apply your crease color.
Next, let’s include a crease color to give your look more depth. Choose a complementary dark color that is one to two shades darker than your general color. Then apply the color to the outer corners of the eyes with a blending brush. Move in a small, circular motion toward the center of your lid as you blend the color, building up more layers to deepen the pigment until you have a smoky blend. When the change between this shade and your overall tone is seamless, you’re ready to move on to the next stage.
5. Apply your highlighter.
Apply a soft, neutral shade from your crease to your brow bone that is one to two shades lighter than your overall tone. This accent color helps balance the look and complete the desired gradient effect. Use your highlighter to add a little extra shine to the inner corners of your eyes to make them look bright and alert.
6. Blend, blend and blend again.
A smooth transition between the three colors is essential for beautiful smokey eyes. Use a fluffy brush to blend the three tones together until there is no noticeable difference between them.
7. Align your eyes.
Cover the eyelids with a black eyeshadow before using the eyeliner pencil. Once you’re happy with the shape of your liner, top it off with gel liner, making sure to apply along both your upper and lower lash lines. A pencil liner may be a better option if you want to get a faint smoky eye. Liquid eyeliner is best for creating a sharp cat eye. Remember that the color of your eyeliner can really complete your look. Using a dark brown pencil on the waterline instead of a black pencil will open the eyes slightly and make them appear wider. Black eyeliner gives you a very smoky, dramatic effect.
9. Apply the rest of your makeup and circle back to the mascara.
Apply the rest of her makeup before returning to mascara as a last step rather than starting with it. The lashes will be incredibly dark because makeup powder won’t get all the way on it. Always coat your lower lashes with mascara for your upper lashes. So that when you look up while applying mascara to your lower lashes, you don’t end up with mascara all over your lid.
And go ahead! You are an expert on smokey eye. The versatility of this makeup look allows you to customize it to achieve any style or amount of intensity you want. To make yours look as distinctive as you are, feel free to add your own flair!
