You apply this color with the Large Shading Brush all over the lid and a little under your eye. Then use a charcoal color like our Never Enough. Apply the charcoal from the lashes to the crease in the lid. Next use a black shadow like our Ornery shadow with a firm bristle brush like our Slanted Brow Brush to apply your eye liner. Make sure to apply your line a little thicker towards the outside of the eye. Last take a large complexion brush to blend all the colors together. That is it.
Now that you have the steps down it is important to understand why you need to use a quality product like the cosmetics offered by Make-up by Armando. The whole key to "smoky eyes" is seamless blending of all your eye shadows. If you use a low quality shadow to try and create this look you will be very disappointed. All you will get is a smudged look instead of the smoky look. Our higher quality shadows blend smoothly to create a seamless blend between the different shadows. Our shadows are created from powder with a similar consistency to talc before they are pressed into the shadow pods. Another benefit of using our shadows is that they can be applied wet to intensify any color. This is great when you want to make your eye liner more dramatic.
