How To Apply Smokey Eye Make Up

Step 1. You must choose a good concealer. Always choose one shade lighter than your skin tone and completely cover any dark circles. Since the smokey eye is very dark, you want to be certain you have good coverage here.

Step 2. With a black eye pencil, draw a line along the upper lashes. Start thin at the inner corner of the eye gradually getting thicker as you work your way out.

Step 3. As close to the lower lash line as possible, draw a thin line. You can stop either one third of the way in or take it all of the way in to the inner corner. It all depends on how dramatic of a look you want. Play around with both and see what looks best on you.

Step 4. With black liquid eye liner, draw a line on top of the black eye pencil. This gives it staying power.

Step 5. Use a dark grey eye shadow and crease brush and apply eye shadow to the crease (only 1/3 of the way in) of your eye, using aback and forth motion. Blend well, until you see no visible lines. You can also use an eye liner brush, dip it into the grey eye shadow and run it over the liquid liner to add to the smokey look.

Step 6. Coat top and bottom lashes with two coats of black mascara.

Makeup Artist Tips:

Play around with different colors as long as the prominent colors are dark shades. I have done
this look with blues, greens, purples and it has always looked very sexy.

To make your eyes POP , apply a dab of white shadow to the inner corner of each eye with the tip of a thin brush. I do this with everybody and it instantly brings them to life!

The smokey eye look does take a bit of practice, but it is well worth it. It is a sultry evening look that looks great on just about everyone.
