How to do a perfect smokey eye

                                                               Smokey Eye
1. Comb your eyebrows and fill it in with an eye shadow color that is the same color of your hair.
2. Take your highlighting brush and use either white, gold, or beige color. Apply this color underneath your eyebrow.
3.Take your eye shadow applicator brush and dip it into grey eye shadow. This you will apply 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, make sure that it is not to 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 on 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 color 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 that finish off with a touch of mascara.
9. A smokey eye do not always have to be black, you can use various colors such as brown, plum, etc. Just make sure that you stay the same color chart when doing it with another color. buy eye shadows that are in a trio pack.
