HOW TO CREATE A NEUTRAL SMOKEY EYE

A great neutral eye does not need a dozen products. It needs the right shades, the right placement and a palette that can take you from soft definition to full smokey intensity.

Neutral eye makeup is one of those looks that never really leaves your makeup rotation.

It works for an everyday coffee run, a dinner date, a night out and everything in between. The difference is not necessarily how many products you use. It is how you layer them.

Serenade was created around that idea: eight neutral shades that can be worn softly, built up for dimension or intensified into a classic smokey eye.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT NEUTRAL EYESHADOW PALETTE?

A useful neutral palette should give you enough tonal variation to create definition, dimension and contrast without making you reach for multiple palettes. Serenade brings together eight shades designed for neutral and smokey eye makeup looks.

HOW TO CREATE A NEUTRAL SMOKEY EYE

BUILD YOUR BASE 
Begin with one of the softer neutral shades and sweep it across the lid and crease to create an even base.

ADD DIMENSION 
Layer a deeper neutral shade into the outer corner and crease. Build gradually rather than applying a large amount at once.

DEEPEN THE OUTER CORNER 
Use Shadow to add definition where you want the most depth. Keep the deepest color concentrated toward the outer corner for a lifted, blended effect.

ADD LIGHT 
Use Dew, Glint or Aura wherever you want additional brightness or shimmer.

BLEND 
Use a fluffy brush to soften the edges between shades. Blending is what turns several colors into one seamless eye look.

HOW TO GET MORE COLOR PAYOFF FROM EYESHADOW

For maximum color payoff, use a flat, firmer brush to pack eyeshadow onto the lid. To blend, switch to a fluffier brush. When using shimmer shades, softly spritz a flat, firm brush before picking up the product for a more intense, foiled look.

WHY SERENADE BELONGS IN YOUR MAKEUP BAG

Serenade is designed to move with your makeup mood. Keep the look soft and neutral for daytime or build the depth for a more dramatic smokey eye at night.
