Ooooh the power of the perfect smokey eye


The eyes, the most powerful feature on a woman's' face. We as women know this and we use this in everyday life, but few of us know the power of a smokey eye. A smokey eye is seductive, alluring, and dramatic, but how do you do for you with out looking like you are trying too hard.
So people will tell you that smokey eyes are only for evening or special events but that is not true. The 2 main things is using good product and the building of that product on your eyes. When creating a smokey eye you need pigment rich eyeshadow or pigments, eyeliner and mascara. For a day time look you want to use a neutral base on the entire lid. Next you want to decide what color your are going to smoke your eye with, for day time brown and grays work perfect because you can build on more or even a darker color for evening. You want to use a medium shadow brush. Apply the shadow from the lash line to the middle of the middle of the crease. Next you want to use a blending brush to blend your shadows together until it creates another color. Always use a black liner it really defines the shape of you eye better. Finish by highlighter the brow bones and the inner corner of your eyes, that adds a last minute brightness and the mascara seals the deal.
For evening, black is classic but try blending in a metallic shadow. The thing to be the most careful with is the falling of loose shadow on your face. For that apply loose powder heavy until your eyes so you can brush it away when you are done.
Have fun with this try colors other then black, brown and gray, it just makeup, if you don't like it you can always, always wipe it off.
Eyes are the windows to your soul...well, that what they say so make sure the whole frame is beautiful, the eyebrows, the skin, the lips they all work together. You want to look like a raccoon or even worst, like you got punched in the face!
Keep it fab!
Your girl,
