In the world of makeup, smoky eyes have remained a timeless classic that refuses to go out of style, considering how well they pair with most evening looks. And while recent iterations have experimented with colour and finish, few have been as dramatic as the eye look recently debuted at EFTYCHA’s show at London Fashion Week. This look, created by makeup artist Becca Wordingham, was reminiscent of bleeding ink on blotting paper and so, has been appropriately dubbed the bleeding smoky eye.
“Your goal is essentially to blend your eyeshadow to create the illusion of the colours bleeding. Colours that best accentuate this effect are smoky grey, black and dusty brown. You’ll also need a few basic products: black gel liner, black kohl liner, black or dark grey matte eye-shadow and two small make-up brushes – one for packing on the product and the second for blending,” explains make-up artist Sneh Sharma.

To create the look:
1. Start by applying waterproof eyeshadow primer to prevent the shadow from budging.
2. Next, apply a gel liner or kohl on your lash line with a thin brush and use a blending brush to smudge it.
3. Create a wing-shade with the liner to lift your eyes. Use a firm brush to draw thin lines; these will be the base from which you smudge the colour out.
4. Next, apply eyeliner on your waterline to add more intensity and depth. Smudge this with a blending brush. To make the look more dramatic, you can apply a little red lip lacquer on the rims of your eyes or your crease.
5. Dab a little transparent lip gloss on the centre of your eyelids, using your fingertip.
6. Finish your look with individual lashes and a few coats of voluminous mascara, Sharma instructs.
While wearing this look, keep your skin fresh and natural-looking. “Only highlight the highest points of your face, such as the T zone or under your eyes, with concealer. Use a stain on your lips in a wine or red colour, or use gloss,” she concludes.
