Eye makeup tips often include advice on creating a smokey look. Some suggest black eye cosmetics, but you can try a slightly lighter shade of eye makeup like coffee or chocolate brown. Lining your eyes with charcoal black eyeliner can make eyes look very small. Perhaps just lining the outer corners of your eyes would enhance the smokey look. Try both and see which you prefer.

How to apply smokey eye make-up?

The crease is very important to the smokey eye and it needs special attention. With a taupe colored shadow, or a mixture of gray and brown, pick up a small amount (to begin), and work it into the crease area. Continue until the area is well defined, with lots of attention to the blending process. Remember, the look we are after is smokey.

With your favorite mascara, coat lashes so that they play up the darkness of the eye area. Several coats might be necessary.

Tips on how to do Smokey eye makeup?

• Remember to keep lips nude. When applying strong makeup (like smoky eyes or red lips) put the focus on either eyes or lips, never both.
• Apply white translucent powder below the eye and dust off after applying eye makeup.  It will catch any fallen shadow.
• For a bit of fun, try a blue or purple mascara. It will make blue eyes "pop."
• Liner doesn't have to come in pencil form. Makeup experts know eyeshadows make some of the best eyeliners. To do this take an eyeliner brush, wet it, then dab wet brush into the dark shadow. This allows for a deep, precise line. You can also use the dark shadows without wetting brush first. Either way, eyeliner is necessary for smoky eye.

The key to the perfect smoky eye is proper blending. You want to make sure colors are blended together flawlessly.
