Answer 2

because you've eco-friendly eyes i'd use greys/charcoal or browns. black is basically too overpowering because you're searching for some other thing beneficial organic. make investments in solid brushes do not use those that contain the interest shadow set. Line your top lid with a brown or black liner and integrate the colour up. upload the brown or gray /charcoal shadow over the smudged liner and then a lighter impartial brown colour over some thing else of your lid. to stay away from the racoon look placed free powder lower than your eyes and then brush them off when you're done.

Answer 3

Apply a medium shadow up to your browbone. Using and angle brush, apply a dark shadow up to the crease in your eyelid, sweeping the shadow up and out toward the end of your eyebrow. Finish with a waterproof eyeliner all the way across your top lid and then smudge it until it's blended with the dark shadow. Then apply the eyeliner at the roots of your lower lashes and blend. Don't do too much to your lower eyelid because that's what causes the racoon-effect. Also, choose a dark colored shadow instead of black. Try dark brown or mauve for brown and hazel eyes or purple for blue or green eyes.

Answer 4

dust loose powder under and around your eyes so you can easily brush away the spillage.

use a wet brush

use a medium rounded brush for eyelid application

use a thin round tip brush or wet cotton but for lower lash line

smokey eyes:
1. apply a shimmery nude, silver or platinum base
2. apply the main color (usually darker metallic colors go best but a lot of people are using blue, blue green and silver) on your lids
3. you may opt to darken the crease of your lid with a darker hue or black eyeshadow
4 if you do so then you may also opt to darken the shadow on your upper lash line too. otherwise its also nice to just blend in the black, and main color with the metallic base and just not do the crease thing.
5. take a liner brush with a rounded tip or a wet cotton bud and apply black or the main color or even a color in the same family and apply to the lower lashline
6. i like to apply the main color the the whole lower lash line then black to the outer corner. just follow where your lower lashes go.
i also line the kinda wet part of the lower lids with pencil liner but you dont have to do it if you can't just try to though coz it looks cool.
7. black (liquid) eyeliner on the top extending outward
8.curl and mascara applying in a side to side zig zag motion for a more even application as opposed to the common root to tip way.
9. it looks cool with falsies

nude lips go best with dark eyes
