Tutorial: How to do smokey eyes

This tutorial was requested by a bunch of my readers, so here it is at last! Please note, however, that 1.) I am by no means a professional and all tips I provide are based on my own practices and knowledge of makeup and are not die hard rules for application techniques, and 2.) I have very prominent monolids, so my makeup will probably look different from those without monolids, but these techniques will still work for everyone.

Hope you enjoy!

Tools I used:

Step1: Start off with a clean eye and be sure to apply primer to create a smooth base and make your eyeshadow stay on longer

Step 2: Apply the lightest color first all over your lid area and extend slightly past the outer corners of your eye, but not too far

Step 3: With the second darkest color, apply on the outer corners and work the shadow up into the crease

Step 4: Using a countour or crease brush, apply the darkest color in the outer "v" and blend

Step 5: Apply a light white shadow on your browbone and blend away any harsh edges

That's it! Finish your look off with eyeliner and mascara (smudge the liner so it has a soft line), if you want you can apply falsies for extra drama

Now go show off your sexy eyes!
