It’s award season and that means we get to see gorgeous dresses, elegant hairstyles, and glam makeup on the red carpet. Today, I’m going to show you how to create a beautiful smokey eye that’s red carpet worthy and how to use Q-tips Precision Tips to help with the process! Q-tips Precision Tips are super useful when doing makeup. They’re the ultimate beauty tool, with tapered ends specially designed for precise application and touch-ups. They’re soft and gentle to use, especially in delicate areas, like around the eyes. They can even be used in lieu of makeup brushes. They’re affordable and disposable too! I use them a number of ways – you’ll see how in this tutorial. 
So let’s get started…..
Red Carpet Smokey Eye Tutorial
Step 1
I applied a primer to my lid to make the look last all day (and into the night!). Then I used a cream-colored eye shadow to cover the inner half of my lid, followed by a taupe color for the outer half. I added a dark brown shade to my outer corner to add more dimension.
Step 2
I then used a Q-tip Precision Tip to apply a black shadow to the very outer corner of my eye. This is where I’m giving the look a smokey, sultry effect. The Q-tip Precision Tip was perfect for this step since I was working the shadow into a small area. I was able to build up the black while keeping it blended.
Step 3
I applied some black gel liner. Then I used a clean Q-tip Precision Tip to add a white highlight in my inner corner area as well as under my brow.
Step 4
Time to add lashes! I dipped another Q-tip Precision Tip into a dab of glue and used it to spread the glue onto my lash band. This is a much better option than trying to squeeze the glue onto the lashes directly.I cleaned underneath and around my eye with a clean Q-tip Precision Tip and some concealer. It was simple and effective! I also applied eyeliner and mascara to my lower lashline.
The finished look!
Easy enough, right? I think this smokey eye is beautiful, yet simple and can be matched with a lot of outfits, like fancy gowns fit for a red carpet!
