Any tips or added info for doing your 'smokey eye' make-up?

What are some things you have learned or would like to share (your own personal tips) on making your eyes 'smokey.'Any tips or added info for doing your 'smokey eye' make-up?
The smokey eye is pretty simple. You just start at the lash line with black or dark dark gray just a little of it though, then sweep a medium silverish gray over the lid up tot the crease and finally take a light grey/silver and brush up your upper lid. For an exaggerated highlight, brush matte white shadow on the brow bone right below your eyebrows. Make sure to blend upward, but not too much on the bottom.





A twist on the classic smoky eye is always fun, too.





Do a classic smoky eye with black or the darkest gray you have in the crease, then sweep a medium silvery gray over your lid. To add pizazz and a twist, use a dark purple, or any darker color, blended in the black in the crease.(or if its a lighter color, sweep it over the silverygrey on the lid.) Over the brow sweep a light silver and over the brow bone (right underneath your eyebrow, along the arch), use white as an exaggerated highlight. use black eyeliner and mascara that creates the wide-eyed look. Use minimal blush, a like pink to mauve and nude to light pink ligloss with a shine. You could also experiment with bright eyeliners on the waterline.





Have fun! %26amp;%26amp; I hope I helped!!!
