You don鈥檛 have to stick to the traditional black colour- you could go for greys, browns, plum, green and even blue as long as you create the smokey eye effect- smudging!





1. Use a light (skin toned) colour all over the eye- lashes to brow.


2. Use a black eyeliner and use just above the lashes- doesn鈥檛 matter too much if it鈥榮 a bit messy.


3. Use a cotton bud with a dark eyeshadow on it and go over the eyeliner- making it smudgy.


4. Line under the bottom lashes with a pencil eyeliner and smudge using a clean cotton bud.


5. Use a middle toned eyeshadow (an in-between colour of the ones using) and go over the lid of your eye and just up to the brow bone or just above the crease- which ever you like better.


6. Blend or smudge the middle colour upwards into the lighter colour- just the top edge of the middle colour so you still have colour on your lid. if it looks like a gap of skin is showing coz u've pressed too hard just add a lil bit of the first colour.


7. Use mascara- and don鈥檛 forget eyelash curler first- apply mascara to the bottom aswell-if you want
Its all about blending ... I got this from a site that tells ya how to do it and what colors to use. I think its all about the brush makeup isnt that important ... You dont have to buy 30$ eye shadow Try and find a pointed shadow brush .. It gets in the creases well... Mary K has great brushes... here are the steps the site gave





Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called ';primer';). I prefer to dab at bit of MAC's 'paint' on lids before shadow application. Or try Fresh Freshface Perfecting Eye Primer.








Apply eyeliner. If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. If your opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.








Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smoky eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner. The key is to ';smudge it.'; You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.








Apply light base color Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone. I love Stila's whipped eye shadows $20. The moist ';mousse'; consistency seems to stay on forever. My favorite colors are taupe and pearl.
