Everyone does the smokey eye a little differently, so feel free to alter these directions once you become comfortable with it. If you do not have some of these products, feel free to experiment with what you already have and consider purchasing them in the future.
You`ll need:
- a thin eyeliner brush
- an eyeshadow brush (most types will be fine)
- a white eyeshadow
- a beige eyeshadow (just lighter than your skin tone)
- a brown or grey eyeshadow
- a charcoal, chocolate brown, or black eyeshadow
- mascara
- eyelash curling tool
Steps:
- apply the beige eyeshadow on your entire eyelid,
right from your lashes to the crease with a brush (if
you are not familiar with the crease, please google it)
- use the same brush in the brown (or grey) eyeshadow,
lightly apply this colour to the outer third of your eyelid,
start at the outer corner and bring it up to the crease
- use the eyeliner brush, dip it in a bit of water then in
the brown eyeshadow, use it on the outer half of your
lower lashline, smudging the colour into the lashes
- use the eyeliner brush again, make sure it is damp, then
use the darkest colour (chocolate brown, black..) and apply
a thin line, as close to your upper lashes as possible
- clean off the eyeshadow brush, use it to apply highlights
of the white eyeshadow to directly below your eyebrow
(under the outer half of the brow, starting at the arch)
then to the inner corner of your eye (near the tear duct)
- apply several coats of mascara then use the eyelash
curler just before it dries, this takes practice but is dramatic
- retouch any areas you would like to be more defined,
use the eyeshadow brush to darken the brown eyeshadow
at the outer corner of the eye near the crease
You`re finished! With practice you can do all of this in
five to ten minutes, depending on your technique. You can
also use pencil or liquid eyeliner for a more dramatic effect,
or thinly line the entire area of the lower lashes, but be
careful as this is the step that usually goes wrong (black eye).
Also, you can experiment with different colours (such as navy
blue eyeliner) or using shimmery or sparkley shadows for
the evening. The most important part is using a variety of
shades and blending them together for a more polished look.
Good luck, let me know if you need any clarification!

okay well i wear my make up like this so i can help you out, the trick of it is eye shadow. What you do is your normal routine of liner (use a water proof liner to avoid smudging) and mascara once you do that you follow it up with a dark grey shadow. Using a thin shadow brush apply the shadow to your lower lid creating that smokey look you desire. The good thing about the shadow is it stays in place when you sweat and such so your look stays flawless for hours, none of that black eye look.
if you have any other questions about this feel free to ask me.
