smoky eye

A smoky eye is a makeup technique that creates a gradient of dark eyeshadow—typically black, gray, or deep brown—blended outward to lighter tones, producing a smudged, sultry effect around the eyes.

The look suggests glamour with an edge of dishevelment: She went with a dramatic smoky eye for the gala.
