xoxoHow to do smokey eye makeup like this?
well. the first thing you will need are:





1)eyeliner, i prefer aqua eyes in black from sephora only about $18, or if you want to go more drug store, they have a really good NYC one its like a pencil one and its about 92 cents and you can get that at target, but i find that creamy eyeliner works better, or gell liner, i like bobbi green, but anything will work


2)mascara-i use victoria secret in black volume but you can use anything, as long as it is black if you want to go more drugstore, i think covergirl or rimmel works good as well


3)eyeshadow-black and kind of cream eyeshadow. i like mac, but you can also use anything make sure you have a matte cream colored one and a more pigmented black eye shadow because it is easier for smearing and a more matte type of black shadow


4)eyelash curler anything works good, i use my lancome one but if your using drugstore ones use NYC which is about $2-$5 which works great as well


4) q-tips or cotton balls





so first you will want to apply the cream eyeshadow, with just a normal eye shadow brush. then using yer black pigmented shadow, use a sponge tip applicator and only apply a little bit because you can add more later. after doing that you can only apply like maybe half a centimeter up from the lash line. then apply the matte black eyeshadow on top of the more pigmented eyeshadow and apply all over the lid, using a eyeshadow blender brush. after doing so apply some eyeliner underneath, as i said cream works better because it is easier for smudging. then apply the matte black eyeshadow directly on top. using a q-tip smudge as you would please. the more smudging the more smokier, but dont over-do it because you dont want it to look messy or make you look like you have racoon eyes. then curl lashes with eyelash curler and apply mascara, make sure to do that last because you want that to be like the finishing touch.





well i hope this helps :D
do your main face routine (foundation and/or concealer) then apply primer to the lids. apply a light eyeshadow color like grayish really light grayish then apply a middle gray(both light and middle on lid and crease) and then a darker gray(only on the crease) and make sure you blend! because if you don't you'll look kinda funny, then apply eyeliner both on top and on the bottom thicker then you ussually do. then apply the mascara which should be black same as eyeliner and apply thickly like 3 or 4 coats.
well, if you have yahoo messanger i will gladly show you and explain it all really well on my webcam for you :) i love helping people out with makeup
