How to do Smokey Eye Makeup

Most women have the desire to look and feel sexy. There is no better way to accomplish this than creating dark, smokey eyes. It can give you an instant sensuous look! So let me teach you some great tips on how to do smokey eye makeup.

Tip 1
Apply foundation, concealer and loose powder on your eyelids. This will ensure that the eye area will be silky and smooth, and ultimately it will make it much easier for you to apply the dark eyeshadow in a blended way. Using this technique will also ensure that your eyeshadow last much longer.

Tip 2
Always use a good quality eyeshadow that is very compact. Be careful not to use cheap “dusty, powdery” eyeshadow, because you will end up applying the eyeshadow everywhere except on the eyes and create a very messy unattractive look. Good quality eyeshadow is more expensive, but it is worth every penny as you can apply it smoothly and create a clean blended look.

Tip 3
Apply a highlighter eyeshadow over the protruding part of your brow bone, directly underneath your eyebrows. This will create a fresh look. The highlighter eyeshadow will also open up the eyes and make them look brighter and larger, drawing attention directly to the eyes.

Tip 4
Using a proper eyeshadow brush, apply the dark gray eyeshadow to the eyelid very close to the eyelashes. You can also apply a little bit under the eyes, close to the bottom eyelashes to create a smoldering effect. Use either a blending brush or cotton bud and gently blend the edges of the eyeshadow. Avoid any hard lines and corners, since this will give you a unwanted strong and harsh appearance. After you applied the dark eyeshadow, apply a kohl black pencil to the inner upper and lower eyelid rims, making sure to smudge it into the lash line and to soften any edges. This will give your eyes an instant dramatic, yet feminine appearance.

Tip 5
To add a final touch to this look, apply black mascara to the top and bottom eyelashes. Finally, if needed, separate the lashes with a lash comb.

Keep all the focus on your dark, sexy smoldering eyes and downplay the rest of your makeup using sheer and natural shades. And finally apply nude lip gloss to finish off this sexy look.
Now that you have learned how to do smokey eye makeup, you can truly feel confident knowing you look sexy and fabulous.
