How To Do Perfect Smokey Eyes

Steps in brief:

1. Comb your eyebrows and fill it in with an eye shadow colour that is the same as your hair colour.
2. Take your highlighting brush and use either a white, gold or beige colour. Apply this colour underneath your eyebrow.
3. Take your eye shadow applicator brush and dip it into grey eye shadow. This you will apply all over your eyelid or just in the fold of your eye.
4. Take a tissue and clean your eye shadow applicator brush. Take the same brush and dip it into black eye shadow. Apply the eye shadow in the fold of your eye but at the outside corner of your eye – making a little V as you go downwards to the outside corner of your eyelid.
5. Take your eye shadow blending brush and blend in the black eye shadow that you applied.
6. Take a black eye liner pencil, making sure that it is not too sharp and draw a line just above your eyelashes. If you do it on yourself, close one of your eyes and look with the other eye in the mirror so that you can see what you are doing. Place your finger at the outside corner of your eye and softly pull your eyelid so that it is easier to apply your eyeliner. Draw the line almost into your eyelash line. Do it on both eyes and then take your eyeliner brush, dip it into black eye shadow and just “smear” the colour gently over the eyeliner line. This will soften the look.
7. Take some black mascara and apply one or two coats onto your eyelashes.
8. For a very dramatic look, you might want to put on some individual lashes and finish that off with a touch of mascara.
9. A smoky eye do not always have to be black, you can use various colours such as brown, plum, etc. Just make sure that you stay in the same colour chart when doing it with another colour. Buy eye shadows that come in a trio of the same colour.
