How do i apply 'smoky' looking eye makeup?

for the ball! ah help!How do i apply 'smoky' looking eye makeup?
Creating a smoldering smoky eye is extremely easy once you get the hang of it.





1. Prime your eye lid with your favorite. Urban Decay Primer Potion is one of the best and this will keep your shadows unfaded and creaseless.


2. Rim the top of your eye with a deep charcoal or black eyeliner. My favorite liner to use is Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in Dark Grey 21L. ($17)


3. Using the same liner, line the outer 1/3 of your waterline.


4. Now, take an all over eye shadow brush and apply a cream colored eyeshadow from your brow bone to your lash line. Concentrate directly under your brow, this will give a highlight. I like to use Sephora Brand Colorful Pearl Mono Eyeshadow in the color Pearl No. 8.


5. With a shader brush, blend a matte charcoal color eyeshadow from your lash line to your crease. I prefer to use Sephora Brand Colorful Mat Mono Eyeshadow in Mat No. 1. Blend well into your crease.


6. Use a thin eyeliner pencil to line the upper lash line. Make the outer part of your eye have the thickest of the line. Use a Q-tip or dome smudge brush to slightly smudge the liner.


7. Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara.





TIP: For a variation on the smoky eye, use a plum, deep blue, brown, or olive green liner in place of the black. It will give you an aditional pop of color.How do i apply 'smoky' looking eye makeup?
Firstly, put eyeliner on the inner rims of your eyes. Then apply a moderately thick line on your top lid, and smudge it so it doesn't look too sharp, with a q-tip or smuge-ey stick (?) that's on the end of the eyeliner normally. Then, get a black/dark-coloured eyeshadow, and using a thin eyeshadow brush, blend it on top. Apply two coats of mascara, and clean up any smudges =)





...Well, that's how i normally do mine (:
Marlena does an excellent job at tutorials. And shows you step by step how to achieve the look.
