how can i get smokey eyes with outlooking like a goth?

Answer 1

1. Apply a cream concealer over your eyelid to create a smooth base for your eyeshadow.

2. Use a pencil liner (black or gray looks best) to trace your top lashline from the inner corner to the outer. Then, use the same pencil to dot between your lower lashes. Smudge both lashlines with a cotton swab or an eyeliner brush.

3. Sweep powder shadow (brown, gray and dark green all work with black or gray liner) over your lid and into your crease, blending the color up and outward.

TIP: To prevent color from fading and give your lids a more shimmery finish, pat a cream shadow over the concealer on your lid first, wait five minutes, then top with a matching powder shadow.

4. Dust a lighter, neutral eyeshadow (such as ivory) over just your browbone.

5. Finish with two coats of black mascara.

Answer 2

Have you tried using a blending stick? Its like an eye shadow applicator, but it is firm and has kind of a foamy rubbery texture.

I use eye liner really finely on my eyes, then use the blending stick to blur the lines a bit. It is shaped so that you can create a slight blur, or for a night out, really smokey eyes!

You can also use it to apply eye shadow to your lids and be a bit more specific as where you want it! The trick is to start off using just a little and build it up. Not just plaster on as much as you can get straight away!

Good luck!

Answer 3

Use pewter (dark metal grey) or navy shadow, rather than black. Put it into the socket line and blend down and a LITTLE out. Use eyeliner lightly and one coat of mascara. Highlight the brow bone to open the eye with white or silver, also the inner corner of the eye.

Don't line underneath all the way, just the outside.

Answer 4

Use a dark eyeliner pencil and dark shadow(charcoal with dark grey) or (brown with autumn colours), line your eyes top and bottom, them smudge it so the lines are not prominent,without removing. Use your finger tips or shadow brush to apply eye shadow to top of lids, then use the brush to apply shadow underneath lower lashes from centre of eye to the corners. A white eyeliner on bottom lid will also give your eyes the illusion of being larger.Good luck.

Answer 5

Buy a palette of grey, black and white (I have a bargain one from H&M) and a good brush/applicator. Sweep white over the whole of your lid, then apply a light layer of grey. Use black at the outer edges and blend them back in to the grey. Then apply white to the uppermost part of your browline (just under your eyebrows) and a spot of it where your pupil would be to open them up.

Answer 7

use Clinique eyeliner with the brush on the other end! it is amazing especially black/brown dark but not too dark! so nice! you will look amazing!

or use a black eyeliner and aplly it under you bottom eyelashed and on you eyelid as close to the eyelashes as possible. then add a brownish/greyish eyeshadow on top just along where the eyeliner is...and then do a lighter brown eyeshadow over the top of that and all over your eyelid up to your eyebrow! looks lush!

Answer 8

just go easy on the eyeliner. if you make a sweeping line from halfway underneath your eye to the outside and al the way accross the top with gery or black khol and use a small amount of grey black or dark blue/purple eyeshadow to smudge to lids and finish with mascara

Answer 9

To keep from looking goth go with a palette of brown or plum instead of black. Black can be hard to work with especially if you have a light skin tone.

Answer 10

Use a brown shadow and sweep below lashes on bottom lid, and just above lashes on top....not goth looking at all and very sexy
