Successfully Doing A Smoke Eye.

Trying to succeed in the smokey eye look.
I have blue eyes, they go from light bright blue to dark blue with different colors.
I got some false lashes also.

Any ideas?
Pictures would help also.

Here's my pictorial for a monochrome smokey eye. 1. Apply black shadow in the shape as shown with a dark shimmery grey over that just on the lid. 2. Blend the edge of the black upwards with a few shades of grey gradually getting lighter until you're happy with the blending (add more of the dark colours and keep blending as you need to until its perfect). 3. Apply a shimmery white shadow on the brow bone. 4. Blend the lower lash line out with the grey shadows like you did with the top. 5. Apply the shimmery white highlight colour to the inner corners of your eye. 6. Add liner and mascara.

You could use different colours with this technique. Try swapping the greys for blues or browns to bring out blue eyes, but this monochrome version will go with any eye colour :)

Then do that it looks like matte black on the outer and inner corner blended into a shimmery green then liquid or gel liner, mold the look to your eye shape though if you have close together eyes you might want to skip the black on the inner corners.

Blend blend blend! It's a process but with a good blending brush you can do it. Black is a tough color to work with if that's the color you'll be using for your smokey eye but watch YouTube tutorials on it and it will deff help!
