Everyone always asks how do you achieve the perfect smokey eye?? There are a few ways to achieve a sultry, sexy smoke eye. For a great smokey eye you don't always have to use the traditional black eyeshadow, but can be done with gray, purple, blue and brown shadows.
Tools: eye primer, a light and dark shade of the color smokey eye you want, small-med eyeshadow brush, eye liner same color as shadow used, mascara
Step 1: Apply primer to entire eye lid. Creme eye shadow, foundation can be used as primer.
Step 2: Line upper and bottom lid with eye liner
Step 3: Apply lighter shade shadow from inner part of your lid to entire eye lid, not going over the crease in your eye. You only want shadow on the skin that covers your eye ball.
Step 4: Apply darker shade from outer lid to halfway point on your lid, also apply to your crease
Step 5: Use a blender brush to blend dark color into light shadow. You can also add a little foundation or highlighter to your eye brow to have better blending effect.
Step 6: Add mascara and you have a simple, everyday, sexy smokey eye
* For a high fashion or evening look go a little heavy with liner and shadow and add lashes.
