Smokey Eye Makeup

Smoky eyes are always in fashion. The colors may change somewhat but the look is still the same and achieving it can be rather hard if you are a novice. The look needs to be shaded to perfection and not applied with a bad brush in a thick way. This is not a good look and will have you looking more like a clown than a glamour queen.

When you first learn about how to do the smoky eyes makeup trends, you must learn how to blend the colors properly. You should use a neutral color for the whole lids as a base color and to make sure that the rest of the makeup doesn’t slide for the rest of the occasion. You can buy primers but this isn’t always necessary and a neutral base color will do just as well. The next colors that you should look at for the smoky eyes effect are black, dark grey and silver as well as browns. You should apply pencil eye liner first in the same color as the look that you are going for and then using a wide brush, use the dark color to sweep across your eyes and blend just into the eye socket. You will need color on the bottom of the eye as well to get the right smoky eyes look but this can be quite difficult so using a smaller brush, dampen it ever so slightly and then make a fine line of color just underneath the lash line. You can then blend this easily with a cotton bud for the best effect.
In the socket of the eye, you should use a darker color to blend it to just above the eye socket and also around the very edge of the lash line and around to almost meet the eyebrows. Using a cotton bus, you can even the edges of the smoky look and perfect and problems that you might have had before adding plenty of mascara.
