SMOKY EYE APPLICATION

A smoky eye is the most dramatic look for evening—it’s pretty and sexy. Remember to keep layering the color and continue to check until you like the look.

1 Start with white shadow on the entire lid.

2 Choose a medium, smoky color for the lower lid. Apply it three-quarters of the way up.

3 Continue to layer the color to make it darker. Add a deeper color on top and in the crease to

intensify the look.

4 Concentrate on the crease. Continue to layer the shadow deeply enough to create a dramatic effect.

5 Use your finger to soften the shadow.

6 Start at the outside corner, using pencil or dark shadow or liner.

7 Apply in smooth strokes to the inner corner of the eyelid.

8 Line underneath the eye beginning at the outside corner, moving toward the inner corner.

9 Line as close to the lashes as possible.

11 To give the pencil line staying power, use a liner brush to sweep a layer of eye shadow over the pencil.

12 Smudge the line to create a smoky look, somewhere between liner and shadow. The liner can be thickened.

13 Reapply to add more definition. Continue layering and checking for the effect you desire.

14 Final smoky eye.
