To do your makeup neatly and beautifully, you need to prepare in advance. It is necessary to decide which cosmetics to use, which brushes to apply. If there are no suitable tools for applying makeup, then you will not be able to achieve a beautiful gradient effect.

The most important "tool" for creating "smoky" eyes - brushes. Enough of two quality ones. One of them is shaded by the applied lines, and the second one is applied with shadows.

A "barrel" is used for shading. This brush is slightly thickened in the center and slightly sharpened towards the tip. The pile from which the "barrel" is made is usually chosen depending on the texture of the shadows. For a creamy product, choose a natural material brush. Cream eyeshadows are more difficult to shade, so for them it is preferable to choose brushes with a bristle of natural wool. Such a pile will help to achieve a smooth transition from one color to another.

Two brushes are the minimum required. If there are more of them, then this will only be a plus.

From cosmetics, it is better to choose those products that have already been tested many times. You will need:

• tone cream;
• powder;
• eyebrow pencil;
• shadows (at least 3 shades);
• unsteady pencil (eyeliner).

This is the basic set for creating smoky eyes.
