Sexy smokey eyes?

Question

How do you achieve this look without looking like you've been beaten up or tried to look like a panda? I can get the smokey look under the eye but I really make a mess with the eyeshadow on my lids...any advise would be great!

Hiya, ok heres what to do.

First of all apply a light conceler on you lids, and i mean light,just a tiny amount,that helps to set the shadow. Firstly,the best way to get the smokey effect is to fist apply a dab of white eyeshadow in the corners of your eyes. This will open them up and give a fresh look.

Then get a dark brown eyeshadow and a cotton bud. Gently streach your eye so the socket is smooth and applu as dark a brown as u can alog the bottom of the lid. Using a cotton bud smothes it out better then a eye brush. next what to do is get a medium brown and apply with a brush just above the first dar line and the blend. Use less as if u make a mistake the its easy to get rid off. brush the brown up wards just passing you eye lid line,then use a bronze very lightly to blend. its easy when u practice. " things i always do are instead of applying eye liner,try wetting a cotton bud and use the darkest colour to line very slightly under you eye lash and the blend in. 2nd and most important is mascara. Thats whats makes ur eyes........layer it on,instead of sweeping up,get the mascara brush and zig zag up the lashes,it thickens then and then i usually add 2 more coats. Rite, i think thats it. Good luck and remember to practice b4 a night out!!! xx

commence via creating use of a base like chapstick gently on your eyelid. Then stick with a thick line of black eyeliner on your higher lash line, use a small eyeshadow brush to blend the line in the route of the crease. Take a black eyeshadow and stick with to higher lashline and the outer 3/4 of decrease lashline. then take a grey and combine that into the crease and on the interior nook of decrease lashline. Take a shimmery user-friendly nude colour on a larger blending brush and stick with to browbone and use to lend each and every of the darker hues. Aplly 2 coats of black mascara to verify your eyes POP. freshen up all fallout and confirm you employ concealer and starting up position. not something ,looks worse than great eyemakeup and an unfinished face. shop your lips effortless with a shimmery nude lipgloss to stability out the seem.

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.
