How do you make your eyes look smokey?

with make up?i've been wearing makeup for a long time but i dont know how to do it!!How do you make your eyes look smokey?
here is my smokey eye...step by step and simple as can be... (feel free to substitute lighter shades for the ones i mention for a more natural, daytime look)





start with a thin layer of shadow base or eye primer





black or dark grey shadow in the shape of a sideways V on the corner of the eye, working into the crease with a flat shadow brush (i use merle norman shadow in ebony or victoria's secret beauty rush shadow in jet set and palladio flat shadow brush)





lighter grey shimmer shadow over the lid with a contour shadow brush, blending into the first darker shade (mac idol eyes is my favorite for this step, with a mark contour brush)





silvery/champagne shimmer shadow under the brow bone and dotted on inner corners of eyes with full shadow brush (merle norman shadow in sun beam with avon shader brush)





black liner all the way across top lid, slightly thicker on outer edges, and 3/4 way across bottom (avon glimmersticks liner in blackest black)





sweep thin line of medium shimmer grey under lower lash line, below and slightly over black liner





curl lashes and add 2 coats of volumizing black mascara (maybelline volum' express turbo boost 7Xs mascara in black)











-you can also do a smokey eye with shades of brown, purple, green... any color.











stila (at sephora) has a smokey eye kit that has 4 shadows in a palette...push a tiny button and a voice speaks instructions to you. there is also a holographic image of an eye that shows where the different shades go when you turn it. 30-something $$$








for drugstore palettes, try revlon, loreal, covergirl and maybelline. i know all of those lines carry them, but not sure of the names. avon also has a shadow quads.





good luck and have fun!!!How do you make your eyes look smokey?

just layer colors like go from gray to black or opposite
grey eyeshadow ;) and liner
Black eye shadow. Cover the whole eyelid. If you still don't feel it looks right, go to your local MAC counter and they will show you how to do it.
grays, if you have light skin.





If you have dark skin, use light gel-eyeshadow
First, start with no mascara, and apply a light shade, like a champagne all over the lid, up to the brow. Then sweep a bit darker, like light brown, or even a darker brown up to the crease. Then apply a bit darker, in the crease. Line with a pencil and smudge. Then apply mascara! And there you go. Also make sure you blend the colors a bit.
try some grayish eyeliner and smear it on your top lids. add some dark eyeshadow like gray or something
black everything!! black eyeliner, mascara, and remember the eye shadow.. well the eyeshadow isn't exactly black.. more of a smokey grey colour.
well first you can put eyeliner on. smudge it a bit but not in a too-dramatic- cat-eye way. then put some eyeliner on your top lid, but only lining the rim. smudge that a bit. then add some gray or black eye shadow and you should have smokey eyes! But if you need some visual guidance google ';smokey eye'; or ';smokey eye make-up'; or something, and then look at the results. =)





hope i helped!
