You don鈥檛 have to stick to the traditional black colour- you could go for greys, browns, plum and even blue as long as you create the smokey eye effect- smudging! But here's how i do mine:





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.


7. Use mascara- and don鈥檛 forget eyelash curler first- apply mascara to the bottom aswell-if you want.
The key to the perfect smoky eye is proper blending. You want to make sure colors are blended together flawlessly. Also, it's important to pair light base colors with rich dark colors. Nice mixes include: Soft gold base with deep purple on top, champagne base with bright blue %26amp; peach base with green hue.





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. 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 smokey eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner %26amp; 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 %26amp; pearl.





Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base %26amp; eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line %26amp; blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.





Doublecheck your work Make sure eyes match %26amp; blend color with a Q-tip if need be.





Finish with several coats of volumnizing mascara. Tried %26amp; true mascaras (featured in 'Elle' magazine's March 2006 issue) include DiorShow Mascara %26amp; L'Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Mascara. 'Elle's writer says they are the best volumnizers she's tried.





Remember to keep lips nude. When applying strong makeup (like smoky eyes or red lips) put the focus on either eyes or lips, never both. (Think Angelina Jolie: She either plays up her huge eyes or her huge lips, never both. If she did, she'd look like a clown).


For a bit of fun, try a blue or purple mascara.
