My go-to soft smoky eye for a more lifted, wearable look at 40+. I’ve moved away from anything too heavy or overly structured and focus more on tone, blending, and placement. This gives definition without closing off the eyes or emphasizing texture. This is the kind of smoky eye I keep coming back to when I want something polished but still effortless. Everything I used is linked on this post as well as Elleleary.com under the “shop my picks” page
