smokey eyes problem?

Question

ok how do you do it? and also people tell me not to wear black eyeshadow or eyeliner cause it makes me look like a witch...so if i cant use black does that mean i cant do the smokey eyes?

Answer 1

Achieving the smoky eye is more about the technique than the color of the eyeshadow. Divide your eye in three from top to bottom...1) Brow bone 2) crease 3) lid. Apply eye shadow using a sponge tip applicator on lid only in a packing on style then blend it using an eyeshadow brush blend it out up to the crease using a circular Motion (pivoting) next apply a lighter color on the brow bone and again blend using a circular motion. Outline your eye top and bottom with a dark eyeliner pencil then with the same eyeshadow you used on your lid blend with a q-tip. Finally apply tons of mascara!

Answer 2

The smokey eye look can be created with greys, soft browns, even plums or dark greens. Generally if you stop by the cosmetic counter at any good department store, Ulta or similar store they have someone who could personally show you how to create a look especially for your eyes.

To create a smokey eye look you need to smudge or feather the shadow and that may be a technique you need to be shown.

Remember, sometimes less is better.

The smoky eye effect is easy. You need a charcoal, white and a silver eye shadow. Black eye liner, and mascara. First use the charcoal shadow from lash line until the crease. Next, blend the silver to under your brow line. The white shadow is for the corner of your eyes. Dot it with the lash brush and it will really make your eyes pop. You can also mix the silver and white and blend that above the crease where the charcoal is. So pretty. Line the top and bottom of your eyes with black eye liner. Curl your eye lashes and finally apply blackest black mascara. There you have it, smoky eyes.

You can also use grey for the same effect. Put lotsa shadow on and use a soft brissle brush to smear!!! Good Luck!
