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 and peach base with green hue.


Here's How:


Step 1:


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.





Step2:


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.





Step 3:


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.





Step 4:


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.


Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base and 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, blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.





Step 5:


Doublecheck your work Make sure eyes match and blend color with a Q-tip if need be.





Step 6:


Finish with several coats of volumizing mascara. Tried and 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 volumizers she's tried.








Tips:


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. It will make blue eyes ';pop.';


Liner doesn't have to come in pencil form. Makeup experts know eyeshadows make some of the best eyeliners. To do this take an eyeliner brush (available at Sephora, MAC or any dept store), wet it, then dab wet brush into the dark shadow. This allows for a deep, precise line. You can also use the dark shadows without wetting brush first. Either way, eyeliner is necessary for smoky eye.


This season go jewel-toned (blue is great for you blue-eyed girls) and keep your eyes smoky but stay away from dark browns and black. Instead, go for a deep purple, a gold-brown or any of the many vibrant colors in this year.


-%26gt;What You Need:


1) Eye primer (you don't need it, but it's great for keeping


shadow in place)


2) Shadows: One light, one darker


3) Eyeliner


4) Makeup brushes


5) Mascara
Hi there, let me try something for you, hope yu like it n works for yu. It's really simple, as yu wished for. = )





Step 1: You will need


3 shades of eye shadow


A dark eyeliner


Some mascara


An eye shadow brush


Some translucent base powder





Step 2: Choose a colour


Classic smoky eyes are created with one colour, and can be achieved by using dark brown, grey or any dark colour.


If you have small eyes, you should avoid using black


You will need three eye shadow shades of that colour 鈥?dark, medium and light and an eyeliner of that main colour.


We be using will be using shades of grey.





Step 3: Choose a brush


The key to smoky eyes is successful blending. This is best done with an eye shadow brush.





Step 4: Prepare the skin


Smoky eyes can quickly become panda eyes if the eye shadow does not stay nicely blended.





Step 5: Line the eyes


Starting from the inner corner of the eye, draw a dark line of eyeliner along the lash line.


Try to keep this on the lashes filling in the spaces between them with colour. The line should get thicker as it moves towards the outer corner of the eye.





Step 6: Keep it symmetrical


Once you have finished one stage on one eye, do the same on the other eye.


It is the easiest way to keep both eyes exactly the same.





Step 7: Apply the highlight shade


Firstly apply the highlight shade along the brow bone and up to the eyebrow.


You can also put a little of the highlight powder in the corner of your eye,


between the tear duct and nose.


This will brighten up the eyes and avoid the dark shades to make the eye look dull.





Step 8: Apply the medium shade


Secondly build up the medium shade on the eye lid, starting at the lash line working up to just beyond the crease of the eye.





Blend the colours well so there are no clear lines





Step 9: Apply the darkest colour


Be very careful with the final and darkest colour, it can easily become too much and the eye will look dull. Start from the outer corner and slowly and with the narrowest part of the brush taper the colour to about half way across the lid. Blend this in to the medium shade.





Now with a large powder brush, sweep the powder eye guard away in an upward motion.





Step 10: Assess the eye


At this point step back a little. It is easy to become focused on the eyes and apply too much. Before continuing, look at your face as a whole to see what's needed.





Step 11: Adjust to your own eyes


If you have deep set eyes, you can build up the darkest colour to half way up the lid. If you have small eyes, it's best to leave this as a very thin line. Most people will be somewhere in between.





Step 12: Finishing touches


If the make up isn't too smoky already, you can add a little eyeliner, here, along the lower lash line,





And, here, inside the lower lash line





To finish off the smoky eyes, apply lots and lots of mascara.
