What's the easiest way to make the smokey eye effect?

Question

The eyeshadow case I'm planning to use has a creme liner, highlighter, all over lid and a contour.If that means anything.

Take note that I don't usually apply makeup. :)

Answer 1

what i do is apply a very light grey eyeshadow on my lid, then i line my top lid with black eyeshadow and smudge it, then i line the bottom of my eye, finally black mascara at the top only

I wish I could see what makeup you were using. But one of the people explained it correctly, or atleast how I apply mine and I had it explained to me from a MAC lady and she had done a makeover on me. I've got 4 colors in my eyeshadow palette, 1 is used as an eyeliner; so really 3. I use the darkest going around the top of the lashes, and then take the 2nd darkest and bring it out however far I really want to go. You make that as dramatic you want, I normally atleast bring it a little farther past the lid. And then you bring the really light color which is the highlight color, and for me I barely have to dab it on my brush and kind of mix it around the outer edge of what you finished so it blends together and it's not just sticking out. Then for me I apply "eyeshadow" eyeliner to my bottom, and mascara. And always use brushes if you can, the sponges they give you are horrible for applying makeup. If you have a sally's they sell pretty good brushes.

But if you think it's too much work, or that's not the effect your going for? I remember when I was maybe 15 I had an estee lauder lady give me a makeover and she sold me one of her kohl eyeliner's that had the smudger's on the end of it so you don't have to use your fingers. Those work sooo good. I remember just using that and smudging it around to get the effect and later playing with some eyeshadows of some grey's and some white's. I would mix it over the eyeliner.

Try playing around one day, i'm sure you'll find something you'll like.

nicely, i imagine that a bronze summery seem will be somewhat effective and make your eco-friendly eyes pop when you consider that they're opposite colorings. it would also seem good with your hair coloration, and a touch bit metallic will somewhat capture the basic. My roommate has very blonde hair, honest pores and skin, and somewhat large eco-friendly eyes and he or she usually does a bronze seem for our sorority's dances and such issues as that. I somewhat have somewhat darkish brown eyes, yet I from time to time do a bronze eyeshadow too. to save money, imagine about reusing some products you've already got. to illustrate, I usually use bronzer as eyeshadow. check out cover female Eye Enhancers 4-kit Shadows in espresso keep for excellent colorings for this seem. For smoky eyes, it truly is all about eyeliner and mascara, you're good. for my area i don't like the L'Oreal Telescopic, it finally ends up a touch too goopy for me; i love my lashes to seem organic, no longer stuck at the same time. i wager i did not have a good journey with it. I were given Rimmel Lycra Lash Extender in 001 Black from CVS and prefer it. i somewhat recommend it. It supposedly supplies "60% extra length and 50% extra curve," I truly note a distinction after I positioned it on. is going on sparkling, makes my lashes seem somewhat defined and superlong, and springs off surely with makeup remover. wish I helped

Smokey eyes can be done with most any color palette. The darkest goes along the lash line, medium shade on the lid and the lighteset under the brow. You can smudge the lash line if you like, and I always make sure that I blend the medium and lightest shades well so that there's not a distinct line between the two. Good luck!

ok first do highlighter stick in the corner of the eye. then u take gray shadow and sweep it up into the crease. put on a little eyeliner and mascara!

Answer 8

The trick is black eyeliner and a smudge sponge. Line your entire eye, and then lightly smudge it around. If you don't have a sponge your finger will work perfectly as well.
