Any good pictorials on smokey eyes? I so a natural smokey eye look but I want to try different ones. More dramatic. And some different natural ones. So any tips, tricks, or pictorials?

Just go all black on the eyelid, darkbrown crease, black under the eye and smudge that with brown! False lashes and youre done!

So here's what I do, per the wonderful advice of Jackie:

1. smudge Urban Decay's eyeliner in Perversion across my lash line, bringing it up onto the lid
2. apply a shade similar to my skin tone under my eyebrow and down to the crease
3. apply a medium brown shade into my crease
4. apply black over my lid
5. blend until I can't tell where one color starts and the other ends

It's easier than it sounds, once you get the blending down!

I personally feel you need a lot more than a shade of brown & black to create a smokey eye :p when I do a smokey eye (you can kinda see in my profile photo) I use about 4 different shades or brown usually, & then black gel liner & a black shadow.

how to properly create a smokey eye is pretty complicated to explain. I would take a look at the smokey eye video that Jaclyn Hill posted. it helped me A LOT. I did post a pictorial for you tho (:

just a quick note, a true smokey eye is always dramatic. there are technically no "natural" or "soft" smokey eyes.
