Perfect Smokey Eye!

12 Steps To Sultry:

1. Start with white shadow on the entire lid.  Choose a medium, smoky color for the lower lid.  Apply it three-quarters of the way up.
2. Continue to layer the color to make it darker.  Add a deeper color on top and in the crease to intensify the look.
3. Concentrate on the crease.  Continue to layer the shadow deeply enough to create the dramatic effect.
4. Use your finger to soften the shadow.
5. Using pencil or dark shadow or liner, apply in smooth strokes moving from the outer to the inner corner of the eyelid.
6. To give the pencil line staying power, use a liner brush to sweep a layer of eye shadow over the pencil.
7. Reapply more shadow to add more definition.  Continue layering and checking for the effect you desire.
8. Line underneath the eye beginning at the outside corner, moving toward the inner corner.
9. Line as close to the lashes as possible.
10. Soften the line using a clean finger or Q-tip.
11. Smudge the line to create a smoky look, somewhere between liner and shadow.  The liner can be thickened.
12. Final smoky eye.

This is nice, thanks for sharing!

Oh this is so gorgeous! I dont think I can pull this off though, I may look like a racoon by the time I'm done. I may have to leave this up to the professionals. LOL!

I've tried several times to make smokey eyes and I can never get it right lol!

Thanks for sharing! I've tried doing smokey eyes a few times (without any tutorials) and looked like a raccoon. LOL Definitely going to try this!

Try different shades of eye shadows too ladies. Smokey doesn't always mean blacks and grey's. I've made smokey eyes with greens and purples and browns! Sometimes it comes out better with other colors depending on your eye color.

Thanks for sharing, this is a great tutorial!

Going to try it thanks

Saving this..

So pretty.  I want to try this too.
