Question

I've tried to smudge my liner and eyeshadow to get the smokey look but i end up looking like a racoon. Ho do i get it to look good?

Answer 1

smokey eyes are always in...but apparently not to my mom. lol. to get smokey eyes..i reccomend using a thin pen style eyeliner like maybelline unstopable in "oynx"...you can buy that at drug/grocery stores. swipe a thick line of the eyeliner on your bottom eyelash line. then for the eyeshadow i reccomend a dark grey or black color..try maybelline shadow stylist in "sultry black" also found at grocery stores. put a thick line on ur eyelid. then for mascara i reccomend maybelline volumexpress turbo in "very black". this works for me, it takes a bit of practice before it looks good. dont smudge anything tho...it just makes it smudge more and go all over the place during the day.

I have heard that a good way to get a smokey eye is to put on eyeliner and shadow, take a shower and wipe off the excess makeup, so you get a smokey, soft look.
One way to not get a racoon look is to put on some neutral brown eyeshadow onto your eyelids. Then, use a black or brown pencil eyeliner and put a very thin line onto your lashlines. You can decide whether you want it on the inside or outside. Outside tends to make your eyes look bigger. Then, take a q-tip and smudge it a little bit to soften the eyeliner. Then, if you look a little bit like a racoon, take some makeup remover and swipe away the excess eyeshadow.

well i luv the smokey look and that im a stylist so go to a local walgreens and buy some black eye liner then spear the pencil on a paper towel get a small clean paint brush aput it on your eyes

Answer 4

dark eyeliner around the whole eye. the trick is to use it so close to your lashline that there is no skin showing; and to do it a little thicker towards the outside corners.

use a pencil and hold it against your nose (the widest part),hold the other end at the edge of your eye. this is where the eyeliner stops.

Answer 5

Line your eyes with some deep color.
With a fine brush, sweep your choice of shadow under the eye but don't make it smudge too much.
Then add that same color to the top lid :)
