Smokey Eye


The smokey eye is probably one of the sexiest techniques for eye makeup, and every gal should have it mastered.
So today we will talk about how to create the perfect smokey eye:

Step 1: Cover the entire eyelid with white shadow, or base. [preferable nothing sparkly]

Step 2: Cover the lower lid, and 3 quarters the way up of the upper lip with a medium shade [layer as much as you want]

Step 3: Darken color at the crease of your eye and along the edges. [blend with finger or tool, don't just have medium color to dark, let the colors flow into each other]

Step 4: Line top and bottom with whatever formula you feel comfortable with, and extend the line just a little bit to create a "wing". [smudge line with finger or tool for a more natural, smokey look]


Heres an exert from Women's Health Magazine:

"Men are drawn to the most feminine looking faces. A shocker we know. But a new study in the journal perception helps level the playing field. Turns out, woman's eyelids are darker than the rest of the face, so the greater the contrast, the more feminine the woman appears."

-what better to do this than the smokey eye?


-master this ladies, it'll do ya good.
