Answer 1

Well I am a Makeup artist and just to let you know the Smoky Eye look is IN right now. I love doing the smoky eye look and the best way instead of wearing all black is to do the same preperartion just use color from pink to blue, just make sure you cordinate with the outfit. Try that and I will bet you will try it again and again. I just dont like using black alot.

If you do this look make sure, you with use eye liner in pencil or liquid you can get that in color also.

If you eyes are: Blue

Try: Brown and rose. Warm shades contrast the coolness of blue eyes, making them stand out. Apply from lashlines to creases and top with black mascara.

If you eyes are: Brown

Try: Green and gold. Both shades will pick up the colored flecks found in brown eyes. Choose a slightly shimmer texture, and apply from lashlines to browbones, blending well.

If you eyes are: Green

Try: Lavender and mocha. Purple shades contrast your color, making eyes look dramatic; warmer shades of mocha complement green, giving a natural effect. Wear mocha for day, lavender for night, and top both with brown mascara.

If you eyes are: Hazel

Try: Deep green and pale yellow. Depending on your mood, choose a shadow shade that matches different flecks in your eyes. For a twist, apply shadow, then line eyes with the same color, using a liner brush dipped in water.

Anyone-Can-Wear-'Em-Shades: Charcoal, chocolate, black. (Tip: Since they can look heavy on the lid, use these colors as liners to complement any shadow hue.)

To apply pencil liner precisely, gently pull the outer corner of your eyes so your lashes make a straight line. Angle the tip of the pencil toward your lashes and lightly draw from inner to outer corner.

I hope that works.

Start with eyeliner: pencil if you are a beginner liquid if more confident. Try and use a dark shade : black, kohl etc. Brush a lighter eye shadow onto your lids first i.e cream then gradually add the darker shade until you find the perfect color. Always use a brush: it gives a better effect.Make sure you add some eye pencil around the outside of the eye at the tip and slightly underneath the eye too.Then add lashings of black volumising mascara. Taa-daa - perfect smokey eyes.!

Start with black eyeliner....liquid on the edges/ outter lining of your eye and a dry eyeliner for the inside....than you work your way up with black eyeshadow....fade out towards the edges with a gray shadow. You can also spruce it up with some silver the the inner corners.

Answer 4

Take a wide eyeliner. Trace top and bottom lid. Smudge carefully with fingertip. Use grey and\or earth tones for shadow.

Answer 5

I'm no expert and I've never done it but I would think to get some black eyeliner and put it all around your eyes and maybe gets some kind of dark make up and in small amounts put it around that. I think my friend did that one time.

Answer 6

use grey eye shadow and smudge it over your eyelid, darker near the lashes and lighter towards below the brows. smudge a little also towards the corner of your eye, near your nose bridge. smudge also under your eyes a bit. then use eyeliner also:)
