how do i create smokey eyes?

Answer 1

You first want to make sure your eyes are primed for it. Your eyebrows are neat and fixed and you have applied a few specks of loose powder under your eye to catch the eyeshadow that will fall. You don't want black eyeshadow or any dark color settling onto your makeup on your face. Doing this helps to catch it. Once you're done with that then it's time to follow these steps:

1) Apply a neutral color eyeshadow at your browbone or over your entire eyelid. Sometimes I apply color from a white pencil exactly right underneath my eyebrow to really define the neutral color, but you don't have to.
2) Apply a brownish color from the crease of your eye down to the lash line and blend.
3) Apply the darkest black (or any dark color you choose) at the lash line and blend.

**** Remember, you have to blend, blend, blend because one thing you don't want is for everyone to see is where your eyeshadows begin.

4) Line your eyelids with black eye pencil.
5) Define your eyelashes with at least two coats of mascara. I personally do three because I have long eyelashes and I like for them to stand out.
6) After you are sure that everything's blended well and you've done all the prior steps, take your powder brush and whisk away the loose powder that you had underneath your eyes. And follow with a neutral lip color of your choice (any color would do, but if you're wearing a smokey eye you want people to notice your eyes, not your eyes and lips).

***** Just make sure to remember you want your lips a subtle neutral color. Don't be discouraged if you don't get it just so the first time. It takes practice. Good luck.....

First- Rim the entire eye-your upper and lower lash lnes- with a black, gray, blue, or brown eyeliner pencil
Second- Then swirl a fine nylon brush or a cotton swab in a dad of petroleun jelly. Gently run it over the liner, going back and forth until the jelly is absorbed into you skin.
Last- Apply at least two coats of balck mascara... Good luck I love this look!

Answer 3

Line your eyes as usual then use a cotton swab to smudge neutral tone eye shadow along lash line.

Answer 4

well first apply 1 coat of a grey or whiteish powder shadow, if your skin is fair.
or a light brown if tan.
or a medium to deep if american american skin.
then apply 3 coats of BLACK mascara.
and then apply a semi-thck line of black eyeliner on your lower lids(on lashline NOT in the eye or else itll run!!)
aplply liner again to the whole inside of eye(making it look like a "cat eye")
apply liner to top lids if desired.
trust me, itll look sexy NOT trashy though.
