How to Create a Multicolored Smoky Eye for Nighttime Only
Some women wear bright or pastel colors in the evening because they are afraid to experiment with darker eye colors. But bright colors can appear gaudy or faded in the evening and usually aren't suitable for evening occasions. Dark and muted tones, such as navy blue and opaque black, however, are perfect for the evening. Multicolored smoky eyes are easy to create. With a few different eye shadows and different application brushes, you can create this richly pigmented, dark-eye look. Does this Spark an idea?
