How To Do A Smokey Eye

Step One: Prep the eyelid area first by using an eyeshadow base. If you prefer you can use your foundation. Then make sure you use your best concealer under your eyes.

Step Two: Line your eyes with black. You can do this with either an eye pencil or your dry eyeshadow. If you are using eyeshadow then dip a flat liner brush into distilled water and then into your eyeshadow. Run it all the way across your lash line. Next – smudge it! You can use a cotton tip swab or a special smudge brush.

Step Three: If you want a darker style you have two options. You can either line the eyelid again to get a thicker look or…you can use a deeply pigmented color OVER the outer area of your eyelid and into the crease.

Step Four: For an evening look use metallic eyeshadows and light pink or white highlighting under the brow. Glitter makeup can top off the look.

Simple Tip
This eye look needs 3 coats of mascara in the deepest black you can find. For evening seriously consider adding false eyelashes.
After you learn how to do smokey eyes with gray eyeshadow , try using dark violets to get a look like the one above. This is also a good alternative if you have lighter eyes.

Oops…too dark a look for you? Then limit dark shadow to the outer areas of your eyes. Use light pink or white highlights on the inner areas of your eyes like the model above is wearing. Then soften the eyeliner.
If you are sporting a beautiful spray tan then consider doing a dark golden eye with a deep bronze or burgundy shade of eye liner. It’s a gorgeous look.

Remember, once you know how to do smokey eyes you can also use the same application techniques to create wonderful fantasy makeup looks for you and your friends.
