Depends on how smokey you want to go. Here's what I do:





Start with a black eyeliner pencil, black mascara, and a trio set of gray eye shadow (I like Cover Girl . . . there's one with a dark gray, light gray, and a very light pinkish color). You'll also need a small make-up brush.





Apply the eyeliner to only outer 3/4ths of the inside of your upper lids. Putting it all the way in or on the bottom will make your eyes look smaller. Now starting with your darkest shade of gray apply the eye shadow to the outer 3/4ths of your eyelids. Keep the eye shadow confined to under the arched crease of your eyelids. Now take the lighter shade of gray and apply it to the inner 1/4th of your eyelids and all the way up to your eyebrows keeping it arched out (so you'll have a wavy triangle type shape under the inside of your eyebrows with no makeup). Finish the eyeshadow up with lightly dusting the pinkish (or lightest color) makeup over your entire eye area up to your eyebrow to blend everything. Apply your mascara only to your upper lids and the outer 3/4ths of your lashes.How do i get a smokey eye look, without it gettin all smeared and stuff?
have you tried professional, higher-end makeup?





it really is better than drugstore brand





try KOHL eyeliner, and try using more eyeshadow than eyeliner.








also you can use translucent, loose, powder as a ';base'; all over, it will help hold things.








good luck!
Take a light colored eyeshadow and spread it over your eye and above to your brow. Take a medium colored eyeshadow and sweep it over lid. Then take the deepest shade, and contour in crease and line lower lashes. Take black eyeliner and define upper lashline with a stong, precise stroke. For mascara, brush on your color (probaly black) and then comb through to ends for extreme length and definition. Do your regular blush and take a kinda of dark but not very dark lipgloss or lipstick on your lips. Now your face is done!


Good Luck!

The easiest way I know how to do it is to use eyeshadow instead of eyeliner. You just take very dark (charcoal gray or very dark navy blue or brown) eyeshadow, use the pointy part of the eyeshadow applicator or an angled brush, and sweep the eyeshadow into the roots of your upper lashes, and blend it up just to the crease under your eyebrow. Use the same color shadow and sweep a tiny line under your bottom lashes at the root, and sweep it out just a tiny bit past the outside corner of your eye. If you want to go really dramatic, use a liner on the inside edge of your lower eyelid too. Then put on some black mascara %26amp; you're done.

however you do it, i usually put a little bit of lipchap on my eyelids if im going out for the night. It keeps the eyeshadow attached, and it wont smear all over.
Do it normally, and top with a translucent powder. Wetting your applicator before you put on eyeshadow will make it stick, and not only will it not smear as much, but it'll stay vibrant all day (or as vibrant as smokey eyes get).





My smoky eye:





I get a dark colored eyeliner (not necessarily black) and apply eyeliner all the way around, winging it out on the sides to get a cat eye (you don't have to, I do the cat eye thing everyday).





I get a nude, goldish, or taupe like shimmery eyeshadow, and blend a little bit past my crease.





I wet my brush, then add a dark eyeshadow, usually red, to half of my eyelid, then I wet the brush again, and apply a dark blue or grey eyeshadow, blending it a bit with the red so it fades from black to red. I put the black on the outside of my eye, and blend it so the cat eye sort of frames the shadow. I only apply this up to my crease.





I put a translucent powder (I use loose face powder just for my eyes), over it to make it stay, then reapply any eyeliner that may have been covered.





Voila. Keep the rest of your face simple, and don't let anything overpower the eye makeup.
