Get a chic and modern smokey eye with navy blue eyeshadow makeup! A sexy update from boring black and dull greys, navy shadow intensifies the brightness of blue eyes, makes brown eyes appear lighter and green eyes are illuminated so that you get the cat eye look. Its also super-flattering on all skin tones so what are you waiting for?!

Getting the look is fairly easy!

Step 1: As always, prime your lids first. It helps the shadow to stick to your eyelids and enhances the intensity and longevity of your eyeshadow.

Step 2: Rim your eyes thickly with a navy blue gel liner or pencil (try MAC Blooz khol) both outside and inside the lash lines. Smudge out with an ear bud.

Step 2: For best results and an ultra-sultry look use a dark navy blue shadow with a tiny bit of shimmer like Yardley Stayfast velvet single eye shadow in Midnight Magic (R52.95). This gorgeous shade is super-easy to blend and sparkles with golden undertones for the perfect look for a night out or special date! Apply the shadow over and beyond the eyeliner so that it covers the lower half of your eyelid.

Step 4: With a soft blending brush blend the edges of shadow into the upper half of your top eyelid. This “smokes” of the colour so it fades softly. Keep the shadow on the bottom eyelid defined.

Step 5: Use a shimmery champagne as a highlighter in the corner of your eyes and on the browbone . Follow up with L’Oreal Voluminous makeup mascara.
