How to do the smokey eye- make up? What colours, and what do I use?

1. Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called ';primer';)


2.Apply eyeliner. If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye.


3. Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smoky eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner. The key is to ';smudge it.'; You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.


4. Apply light base color Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone.


5.Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base and eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line, blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.

You need a small makeup brush... not the little ones made out of foam, a brush that looks like a mini brush you use for applying blush.


Here are some colours that will look good for smokey eyes:


Dark purple and grey (not black)


Grey and black


Black and silver.





First put the darkest colour on the inside of you eye ( the past clostest to your nose if you know what i mean ) Make it dark on your inner eyes and with the brush smudge it outwards to about the sentre of you eye. Use the lighter colour on your outer eye lid and you can slightly smudge it outwards.





Next apply eyeliner. Put it along the rim of your bottom eyelid and slightly inderneath your eyelashes but to too much. Smudge it under your eyelashes. Its best to do eyeliner last because if you close your eyes while applying eyeshadow the eyeliner can fade!





Lastly use some mascara on your top lashes - mascara on your bottom lashes doesnt suit smokey eyes.





A good lipgloss to use with this is clear to bring out your eyes or if you do black all over your lid you can try red lipstick or lipgloss. But bear in mind it can be hard to find the right shade of red to suit you sometimes





Hope this helps
