Overview

Building a smoky eye in four steps is what the Maybelline Expert Wear quad in Charcoal Smokes is laid out for. You sweep a base, a lid color, a crease contour and a liner shade, and the jet-milled powders blend into each other.

Maybelline makes a smoky eye simple by giving each shade a clear job in the routine. The colors stay in one grey family, so anyone who wants warm or bright looks needs another palette.

Who it's for

Evening makeup and quick smoky looks are where this quad earns its spot, with each shade mapped to a step. People who like playing with lots of colors will outgrow it fast.

Finely milled pigment blends with fewer harsh edges, which is what makes a smoky gradient easy. A primer or base helps powder shadow last and stops creasing on oily lids.
