How do you do the smokly eye look ?

Hi,


I was wondering how celebs like:: Avril Lavigne do the smoky eye look. I like it. I have Black eye-shadow, and theblack eye pencil thing. Do I need anything else ?





Please tell me step by step how to do it, just like Avril Lavigne's.





Thanks,

Your also going to need a gray eye-shadow and a white eye-shadow! I prefer to use a liquid liner across the top too:





Start with using the liquid eyeliner and making a small strait line across your upper lash line.





Next use a light gray/white color and an eyeshadow brush and apply this from the inner corner up across the lid.





Then use your darker gray color, or black if you want it to be really dark, and the brush and put a little eyeshadow on it and then tap it off (not all, just to get the excess off). Apply it to the outer corner and go along the curve up toward your brow.





To blend, apply a medium gray shade, or dark gray if your going for a darker look, in the middle so it doesn't go straight from white to black. Then use a blush brush to blend it all. You can apply another line of liquid liner.





Use the medium gray and put a little shadow under the outer corner and then a light gray under the inner. Also put the black eye pencil ';inside'; your bottom lash line. Then you can finish with an eyelash curler and mascara.How do you do the smokly eye look ?
For any smoky eye, the trick is to add layers and layers of color so that it all blends for that sultry finished look. For that you would need about 3 tones, a base, a contour and a blending color. You would also need a god blending brush. It looks easy but it does take time and if done wrong it can look cheap. A base is probably along the lines of nude and contour would be your charcoal or black and a blending color would be along the lines of highliting like MAC's pigment in Vanilla.
