How do you create the smoky eye look? What tools and makeup should you use?

Question

I have always wanted to have that smoky eye effect but i can never seem to do it. I always feel like is Halloween when i attempt to create it.Please help!

Answer 1

Well for me, I personally love MAC makeup. During Christmas they had a pallet called "smokey eyes" with all the eye shadows to pefect the smokey eye look. You could look it on the MAC site. Also go to Seventeen.com, they have some awesome ideas.

Answer 2

Not washing off makeup is VERY bad. Mascara/eyeliner will flake off and can get into your eyes at night, which will damage them. Just buy a makeup remover-there's tons at any drugstore, and most are under $10.

Answer 3

choose a dramatic color... doens't have to be black! brush the dark color in the crease and smuge well to prevent that 'halloween' effect. blend with a shade slightly lighter so you don't look liek a racoon or ghoulish. add some highlighting power to keep your eyes bright and add lots of masacara and eye liner for drama. most of all, experiment. good luck!
