8 makeup palettes you need to create the perfect smoky eye

Evening soirees and festive events are a great excuse to rock the smoky eye. Keep all other eyes on you with high-intensity blacks and greys – or spice things up with a jolt of colour.

If you love the classics, Chanel Architectonic may be just the palette for you. Inspired by cityscapes, and alternating between matte and subtle shimmers, this colour harmony includes matte midnight blue, cement grey and shimmery mirror grey.

Available at Chanel beauty counters.

Like the little black dress, the smoky eye in softer shades can still be timelessly sexy and mysterious. 

Add a touch of violet with Lunasol Feathery Smoky Eyes in 04 Smoky Violet (far right). Its enigmatic dusk-inspired hues are perfect for nights out. Just as great, from the left: 01 Smoky Beige, 02 Smoky Monotone and 03 Smoky Charcoal.

$77, from Kanebo counters at Takashimaya D.S., OG People’s Park, OG Orchard Point and OG Albert Complex.
