Thank you :)

@Jessica: I can't really change the size of my eyes lol.. dark colours usually make the eyes look smaller though.

I wouldn't consider that a smokey eye simply because of the yellowish shadow and the fact that I can't see the gradual transition from dark to light. Try adding black to the bottom half of the lid and blend it into the gray. Then I would diffuse the gray more at the top. I would also lessen the inner corner color and bring in the dark shadows more in its place. Then I would consider it a smokey eye

I would ask Jackie or Alma what they would do to it.:)))

Regardless, it is beautiful just like you Nina!!:)))))

Thank you all so much :)

@MaKenzie: thank you so much! I don't really have grey eyeshadows, so I used only black eyeshadow and blended. I will practice the smoky eye thing lol. Thank you for your criticism, it was really helpful!

Agree with MaKenzie. & that was pretty rude to say your eyes look scary.. they don't look scary at all. they look really pretty, I love your big eyes lol.

Thank you so much, Kat :) I think it's quite funny that some people think my eyes are scary (I got told that a few times already)- I like them so it just makes me laugh :).

Omg I was looking out for this post bc on another post of yours, I saw people's comments asking you to do a dark smokey eye look! And boy do I think you should wear dark colors more often! They really bring out the gorgeous green eye color of yours and I love the way it looks like a "V" smokey eye! Try to blend the black more into the inner corner & like MaKenzie stated, I think you should try to make a light to dark transition, if you only have black eyeshadow and don't plan on buying a grey shadow then simply just use a black eyeliner pencil for the darker bit of the smokey eye and blend that out, then the light bit of the smokey eye will be a 'lighter black' almost grey color and thus the light to dark transition of the smokey eye look will be more noticeable! Regardless, this was a fantastic job as you don't work with many dark colors! You really are stunning ❤️

Thank you so much Zahra! That helped me a lot. I'll try wearing dark colours more often. I will do a REAL smoky eye then lol.
And yes, I did this look because 2 people requested it/thought it would be interesting under one of my photos :).
