This is a great way to get that smokey eye look fast and easy. After the instructions are links to get the supplies you need to create this sexy, high fashion look.








Line inside both the top and bottom rims with a black eye pencil, paying close attention to going into the the lash line itself.





Then, with the small eyeshadow brush, soften the black eye pencil line's edges.





Then apply black powder eyeshadow directly over the pencil and smudged. The shadow helps to set and further soften the look.





Next apply neutral brown eyeshadow encircling the entire eye area, be sure to soften and graduate outward (from the eye itself) for that perfect blended look.





And last but not least, apply black mascara on curled lashes to add just the right touch of sexy delicacy to the overall look.

your looking for a make up artist am your girl,but apply eye liner under an over the lashes area.than apply the deepest eye shadow you could fine in black than after apply the mascara for top lashes and bottom lashes but if eyelashes too thin apply false eye lashes its beautiful but not too much i don't want you to turn out to be a drag queen sweetie good luck i think it's special what your doing.keep suprising him with things
eyeliner around the whole eye, dark eyeshadow-dark purple or dark brown then some fake eyelashes to top it off and black masacara
1st: line your upper lid with a black eyeline (thicker in the middle) and underneath your eye use a slightly lighter color (like gray) and smudge.


2nd: use a light eyeshadow over entire lid and browbone


3rd: go over lid with a darker color but don't go above crease


4th: get an even darker color and starting at the lashline blend upward to the crease


5th: follow with several applications of mascara
go to eyeslipsface.com and go to shop E.L.F. then go to looks. you'll see a Smoky Eyes look. It will show u Good Luck!
This is what I do anyway, I call it the 'rock chick look'


How to acheive this look-The secret to this look is not paying to much attention to detail. Use a gunmental grey liner pencil instead of an intense black. Try to randomly line the outer lash lid and blend it onto the eyelid wth a small brush to give it that slept in feel. Don't taper the line towards the outer rim of the eye; this look has a rock chick feel to it so the line needs to be all one size.

Well if you do a search you can find detailed instructions but they often leave out one very important step. Prep - Before you go adding a dark color to your eye area you need to prep it so the shadow doesnt go on smudgy looking. To do this be sure to put a good pressed or loose powder or flesh/light colored eye shadow on the eye first make the base a oilfree soft powdered surface or the dhadow will blotch - do this around your entire area where the shadow is applied - EVERYWHERE. ALso be sure when you apply your smoke color wheter it be brown or gray that you use a loose bristle brush and blend blend blend - do not use a little qtip style eye shadow applicator you must have looser bristles.
Well, make sure you use alot of eye liner to make your eyes look bold. Then apply black mascara and see if you can find a gray eye shadow. Start at the edge of your eyelid apply shadow as dark as you can, and gradually make the color fade and you move up towards your brow. The masacara and liner will make your eyes pop (which is totally sexy) and then the fading shadow gives it the smoky look.





Hope that helps!
