The Reverse Smoky Eye Is The Edgy Twist On A Classic Makeup Look That You Need To Try

Posted by Tandra Barner on Wednesday, May 8, 2024

If you want to recreate the reverse smokey eye at home, it's relatively easy once you get the hang of it. First, prime your face including your eyelids and under-eye area. Then, apply a bright, light shadow to your eyelids using a skinny makeup brush. Next, use a solid or liquid liner to line your lower lash line and then soften it with a thicker makeup brush.

For the traditional reverse smokey eye, use a dark shadow just below your lower lash line. You can then add mascara or false lashes to finish off the look. TikToker Laura Johnson shared a video tutorial if you want another visual reference for how to recreate it. For a more frosted effect, like the one worn by Jenna Ortega, you can use silver and gold eyeshadows on your lid, concentrating on the crease, as Vincent Oquendo detailed.
