How is a smokey eye different from a winged liner?

A smokey eye is a dark shadow blended softly across the lid and crease, with no sharp edge. A wing is a single line drawn at the lash line.

What is the difference between the three?

Classic black is the darkest. Soft brown has no hard edge and a bronze shimmer. Plum has a purple shimmer and black kohl in the waterline.

Can I ask for a different colour?

Yes. Type it in the direction field. That is a request for a result; the nine pictures are the samples shown here.

Are these photographs of a real person?

No. They are generated images of eyes, made to show each smokey look.

Smokey eye looks: classic black, soft brown, plum

Smokey eye looks — a black smokey eye blended from the lash line up into grey at the crease, smudged under the lower lashes, the inner corner lit with a little silver, a macro beauty close-up of a single open eye, the lash line razor sharp and the frame softening toward its edges

The smokey eye is the blended dark eye that suits evenings. These nine pictures show three: a classic black blended from the lash line into grey at the crease; a warm soft brown with no hard edge and a bronze shimmer; and a deep plum with a purple shimmer and black kohl in the waterline. Each is shown as a close-up, as a matched pair and from the side. Type another colour and the same views carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
