Smoky eye makeup is the best makeup for a night out. The smoky eye effect makes you look mysterious and sexy to men. This article talks about how to do the best smoky eye makeup easily by yourself.

Things You'll Need

• Black eyeliner
• A shimmering eyeshadow
• makeup brushes
• Q-tip
• primer
• lip gloss

Instructions

1. Since the smoky eye tends to look dirty if done wrong. The best result is obtained when you use a good coverage foundation to make your skin look FLAWLESS first. The skin is very important for smoky eye makeup.

2. Use a primer / base around your eyes. It will help the powder eye shadow stay in place for the best results.

3. Smoky eyes can be done with many colors, not just black. In fact, you can use lots of different colors as the primary smoky eye color. For the best results, choose a primary color with good shimmers to it. Good colors include: shimmering greens, shimmering teals, shimmering purples, shimmering blues, shimmering browns, shimmering grays and of course shimmering black.

4. Apply eye shadow first. Apply near the top eyelids. Use a Q-tip to smear it out. Remember, the key to a good effect is blending. Use a makeup brush and blend it out for a smooth, gradual effect on your eyes. Apply the same eye shadow on the bottom lids as well. Blend it out using a Q-tip as well, but do not blend it out as much as the upper lids

5. Apply eyeliner. Use black eyeliner for the best result; apply eyeliner as close as possible to your eyes for the best results. Always try to do a lash to lash look for eyeliner.

6. Curl your eyelashes and apply several coats of black mascara to complete the smoky eye look.

7. Go for nude lips or some lip gloss. Do not use bold colors because the smoky eye makeup emphasizes your eyes already.
