Ms. Rhodes


I have a black halter cocktail dress that's very simple and I want to do a smokey eye with my makeup. I'm really good at doing eye makeup, but I can never get the black smokey eye just right? Any suggestions? Pictures and step by step instructions please???
I'm also open to other colors besides black and gray...I have tan skin and brown hair and brown eyes...and I also don't need negative comments so don't answer if you're too stupid to help.

Hi there,
here are step by step directions on how to a smokey eye look!!

Step One:
Prepare your eyelids by applying an eye shadow base. This will help reduce creasing and smearing, and also prevents flakes of makeup from falling into and irritating your eyes. The shadow base works to absorb oil from the skin, giving a smooth and dry canvas for the color to cling to. Mac makes an excellent base for first time users.

Step Two:
Eyeliner is a pivotal cosmetic used for smokey eyes. For a novice, it is best to stick to the typical shades of brown, gray, or black. This should be applied above your upper lash line. Try to thicken the amount in the center of the line, while applying more sparingly along the edges. If you are going for a more colorful look, check out some of the violet, dark green, and blue eyeliners available for purchase.

Step Three:
Blend a lighter shade of eyeliner to your bottom lash line and gently smudge it. This smudging is what gives you the "smokey" look, and it is important to have definition on your lower lashes without overdoing it.

This may be a challenge at first, so a pencil liner is often recommended over liquid. If you want to use a liquid liner, ask your beauty counter consultant which is easiest for a beginner. She may be able to recommend a product you wouldn't have otherwise chosen.

Step Four:
Apply your base color of eye shadow. This works best if it is cream colored or perhaps a light shade of gold. This should always be lighter than your final "smoky" color. Brands such as Cover Girl and Stila make some fun shimmers and lighter hues, which will work perfectly as a base.

Step Five:
After you have applied your base color, reach for your darker eye shadow. Start at your lash line and blend with your base color upward. Creating smoky eye makeup involves your eyeliner pulling a disappearing act. It should be completely blended and smudged into the shadow by the time you are done.

Step Six:
Finish off your eyes with a few coats of heavy mascara. Look for a thickening formula, and always opt for a deep shade such as black. The lashes are an important part of finishing off this stunning look.

***TIPS:
When you are preparing to wear such a style of eye makeup, remember not to overdo it with the rest of your face. Lips should not draw attention to themselves while your eyes are in the spotlight. It is important to decide which feature you wish to play up, and leave the rest to a treatment of neutral and subtle product shades
