How get the perfect smoky eye

11 September 2009 by Katherine | | No Comment

For a night on the town, there is nothing better than a perfect smoky eye. Have you ever wondered how to give yourself the perfect sexy, smoky eye? In this article you will learn how to create an easy smoky eye in four easy steps.

Before starting, it is important to have the right products. You will need an eye primer, a liner, eye shadow, an eyelash curler, and mascara. I recommend using these products:
Urban Decay Primer Potion

Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Smashbox cream eyeliner in caviar

Cream Eye Liner

Smashbox Eyeshadow Trio in Twilight or Panorama

Eye Shadow Trio

Smashbox Bionic Mascara

Bionic Mascara

I love Smashbox cosmetics because the color you see in the package is the color that you will get on your eyes. They are easy to use and are very easy to blend. And you don’t have to use a lot to get the color that you want. You can also find all the products at Ulta.com (one of my favorite places to find beauty products). You can find all of these products and other great beauty products at ULTA Beauty Plus when you shop online you can get free shipping. Just click on the link below to get free shipping.

Step one: Prime your eye lid by patting the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion on your lid from the lash line to the brow bone and underneath your eye. By doing this it helps the eye shadow to stick to your eye lid and keep it from creasing. And your makeup remains vibrant all day.

Step Two: Using the Smashbox Eye Shadow Trio, apply the lightest shade on the brow bone with a tapered brush. In the corners of your eye apply the same color. This will brighten up your eyes and make any redness in your eyes less noticeable. Wipe the brush off before applying the darkest shade of eyeshadow on your eye lid so that it just touches the lightest shade you applied to the brow bone. When apply the color use a patting motion and not a blending motion. If you blend it in now, a lot of the color will flake off and fall beneath your eyes. In the outer crease apply the middle shade eye shadow and blend in.

Step Three: Using a stiff eyeliner brush, trace around your entire eye with
Cream Eye Liner
concentrating the color on the upper lid and along the lash line. If you want your eyes to appear wider and brighter, line the inner rim of your lower lash line with the same eyeliner. When you are applying eyeliner, remember that it doesn’t have to be perfect. Smoky eyes are rock and roll cool and in rock and roll there is nothing cooler than smudged eyeliner. It makes your eyes appear sexier if the eyeliner isn’t perfect.

Step Four: Finish by curling your eye lashes and applying two coats of  Bionic Mascara. Apply to both the top and bottom lashes. To avoid getting mascara on your eye lid, apply mascara to your bottom lashes first. And that is it. That is all it takes to create the perfect, sexy, smoky eye.
