How do you create the smoky eye look?

What tools do I need?How do you create the smoky eye look?
here is my smokey eye...step by step and simple as can be...





start with a thin layer of shadow base or eye primer





black or dark grey shadow in the shape of a sideways V on the corner of the eye, working into the crease with a flat shadow brush (i use merle norman shadow in ebony and palladio flat shadow brush)





lighter grey shimmer shadow over the lid with a contour shadow brush, blending into the first darker shade (mac idol eyes is my favorite for this step, with a mark contour brush)





silvery/champagne shimmer shadow under the brow bone and dotted on inner corners of eyes with full shadow brush (merle norman shadow in sun beam with avon shader brush)





black liner all the way across top lid, slightly thicker on outer edges, and 3/4 way across bottom (avon glimmersticks liner in blackest black)





sweep thin line of medium shimmer grey under lower lash line, below and slightly over black liner





curl lashes and add 2 coats of volumizing black mascara (maybelline volum' express turbo boost 7Xs mascara in black)











-you can also do a smokey eye with shades of brown, purple, green... any color. i am wearing a smokey eye in greens right now... nile/vine duo from merle norman.











stila (at sephora) has a smokey eye kit that has 4 shadows in a palette...push a tiny button and a voice speaks instructions to you. there is also a holographic image of an eye that shows where the different shades go when you turn it. 30-something $$$








for drugstore palettes, try revlon, loreal, covergirl and maybelline. i know all of those lines carry them, but not sure of the names. avon also has a shadow quads. ';sueded nudes'; is a good one for browns, and ';smokey eyes'; is good for greys, although the greys are on the lighter side. you could also try ';fresh cut greens'; and ';vintage violets';.





good luck and have fun!!!How do you create the smoky eye look?

There are two ways I do it..





1





Use a dark color in the outer corner of your eye. Use a medium color towards your inner eye, and use a highlight at the top. Make sure you blend where the colors meet.





2. Use a dark color on the LID of your eye only. Use a lighter color on the space between your brows and your lid, blend at the crease line.





Smokey eyes are easy, you just have to be neat with it.





Hope this helps somewhat..





Or you can go to your fav. makeup counter and ask for a demo.
1.Lids: Dust on a black eye shadow, from lashlines to the crease.





2.Use the eyeliner brush to apply eyeshadow under the eye.





3.Lashes: Apply a thickening, volumizing mascara to your eyelashes. Swipe on an extra coat if desired





4.Lips: A clear lip-gloss will balance all the eye makeup and make you look polished. Dab it onto the center of your lips and spread out to the corners of your lips.
Dark eye liner, lots of mascara, and dark brown eye shadow
