I love an edgey look but too much black around my eyes just looks like garbage. This is the closest I could come up with for a 'smokey eye' but I'm really excited because I hate shadows and the sort lately because it always looks stupid. Sorry for crappy camera quality.

I can't tell you the eyeshadows used because they're years old. It might be Loreal? Brows by ELF in medium brown. Dark shadow as liner by Almay for brown eyes. Lips by Revlon Colorstay in Stay Currant... I really wanted it to be darker but I like it anyway. Oh and tightlined with Rimmel Scandaleyes in Black. And topped with the Kat Von D Immortal Lash. I did a bare minimal sweep with Bare Minerals Original in Fairly Light just to lightly cover some spots and dull out some oil.

Is the crease shade an orangey brown? From my end it looks like a terracotta. And what brush did you use to apply it because the placement is pretty even. Thank you posting the deets. And by the way...don't knock the edgy liner look. I like sporting it myself from time to time blending it out with a duo chrome gray shade to give that nice gradient look.

The dark colors just look too rough on me. Though I have been using a shimmery gray from Hot Topic (I think their brand is BlackHeart) to wet and line with just on the end half of my eyes kind of like here and it's not awful. I used to be all about a plain wing but lately I just tightline because it makes my lashes stand out more. The shade is actually a plum/like color believe it or not. Lol I wasn't kidding when I said it's years old :/ I just have very little money to spend on things like makeup so I buy essentials before fun things.

Wow! Well I love the shade on you. And if you want to glam it for night you could definitely do a thick winged eye with that shade in your crease. I do agree about tightlining...it definitely makes my lashes pop too. Its just a pain in the rear removing at night.lol.

Lol thanks Shelley, it's so strange cause it looks orange even in person. I love the right lining trick. I may try a wing with the shadow one day, maybe with false lashes too!

Sandra, I just used an eyeshadow wet and it went on in kind of a smudgey manner which was perfect. It was a dark silvery blackish gray color lol, had I used black it probably would've been too defined as I'm still learning to blend and black is tricky in my opinion.
