How to Create the Perfect Daytime Smokey Eye

A smokey eye is the perfect touch for special gatherings, date night, or an evening out. Peachy Beauty Editor Lesley Downey shows us how to create the look in an all-new video tutorial on Instagram with Founder & CEO Blair Farris.

Want to create the look for yourself? Here are some quick tips on creating the perfect daytime smokey eye:

  • Prep under the eye with cream for hydration.
  • Start with a light color to brighten the eye. Use a brush to blend up to the brow bone.
  • Emphasize the crease. 
  • Use a deeper color on the outer corner of the eyelid. We recommend an earth tone. 
  • Color the brow and brighten the undereye with concealer.
  • Curl your lashes to enhance the look and add mascara.
