Have you ever wondered how to get that perfect smoky look? Then
you try to recreate it and it just ends up looking like one messy color all
smudged together.
Rocking that signature smoky eye isn’t just for a night out
on the town. You can strut that beautiful smoky look in the day time too just
by changing up the colors.
Here are my easy how-to steps for getting the perfect smoky eye.
Step 1: Decide what color smoky eye you want. I
suggest using a color you already know looks good on you. That way when you
decide to amp the color up you can be confident that you’ll look fabulous! I
chose to use my Naked 2 Palette by Urban Decay which gives a wide variety of
colors to choose from. 
Step 2: Eye Primer. Apply all over your lid to
the brow bone and on your lower lash line. This will help define your eye
shadow color, make blending easier, and keep it in place all day. I personally
use the “Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion”.
Tip: Use your
ring finger to apply. Why? It’s your weakest finger so it won’t harm the skin
around the eyes
Step 3: Building
color: It’s important to remember to start with the lightest shade first.
Continuing to build and add darker shades as you go. If you start with the
darkest shade first your eye shadow could look muddy.
Step 4: Bootycall
apply this first shade all over your lid and crease and inside ½ of lower lash
line. (Any nude or light color will work)
Step 6: Snakebite apply
to the outer 1/3 of your lid concentrating on the outside corner and blending
into crease. Take the small end of the brush and also apply on the outer ½ of
your lower lash line.
Step 7: Blackout
apply using a small angle brush as close to the upper lash line as possible.
Also apply a small amount to your lower lash line. Make sure to blend well and
connect the top and bottom line.
Step 8: Foxy
apply to brow bone and inner corner of eye
Step 9: Mascara
apply to both top and bottom lashes
That’s it!
Add your favorite blush and lip color and you're ready for a
day of looking fabulous!
