Smokey (or smoky, depending on your preference, but we’ll use “smokey” in this review due to the name of the actual product) eyes are a classic makeup look that never goes out of style. Sure, there are color, texture, and design trends that define the smokey eye through different seasons. But one thing ultimately remains — the halo of color that frames the eye and fades out. You can spend as much or as little as you want on eyeshadow, primer, mascara, liner, and other products but it won’t matter unless you have the right tools with which to apply them. Brush brand Luxie has a gorgeous Luxie Smokey Eye Set, a four brush collection that features synthetic bristles and millennial pink handles. So they are cute and effective and work with both powder or cream products! The Luxie 205 Tapered Blending Brush is perfect for the crease and transitional colors, since smokey eyes are all about layers and layers of shades and textures, and buffing! Don’t forget the buffing. The Luxie 215 Small Angle Brush is firm and dense, and designed for creating the wing at the outer corner. The Luxie 213 Eye Shading Brush is good for application and buffing and blending, while The Luxie 217 Pencil Brush has a pointy tip and is an excellent choice for piling shadow on the lower lashline to balance out your smoke and haze. Again, your products are only as good as tools you use to apply them. This set gives you a distinct advantage, whether you are doing a Chanel or a ColourPop smokey eye.
