Question

I have brown eyes fair skin! Everytime I try to get smoky eyes it looks like a black eye! haha My fiance always says smoky eyes are sexy I just cant do it ! So please help anyone !

Answer 1

Well it depends on what Technique you use to get the smokey eye...I too have brown eyed and fair skin...here's how i do it:
1. Start with the eyeshadow of preference and apply it in a shape like this > at the end of your eye.
2. Use a blending brush to blend the eyeshadow in..usually try round stokes going counter clockwise
3. End it with an eyeliner that will complement the eyeshadow. usually brown or black
4. then smudge it to blend it with the eyeshadow you used.

Answer 2

You can do a a smokey eye with other eye shadow colors besides black or grey. Maybe try doing it with shades of brown and gold. Or trying using pinks. Like a dark wine color in the crease and outer V and as liner on the bottom lid and with a lighter pink on the lid and blend blend blend! Brown or black eyeliner smudged so its not a perfect line and then LOTS of mascara.

Answer 3

you should first of all use all brown. no black. eye liner and brown eye shadow. First, apply your eyeliner, then use a q-tip and smear brown eyeshadow over top of the eyeliner. Do this on the top and bottom of the eyes. And use dark brown mascara. That is what I do anyway. Hope you get the look you want.....
