Hey Alma and Jackie can we ladies get schooled in contour and highlighting as well. It would be graciously appreciated.

One if the things I have to explain the most when I ask my clients what look they are after. They all say a smokey eye but when I show them a true smokey eye (I have a photo book I take with me at all times) all I get is ooh no that's a bit much. Then what I realise is they want a gradient style...

Jackie, I think the only thing that could create a natural smokey eye would be a 'black eye', as in a punch in the face lol.

Love the gradient eye! I think I'm going to attempt this for my eye makeup at the valentines day dance. Now if I could only decide on what colors to use. (:

I hate when ppl say here's my natural smokey eye. I think this is the most misused term

Your welcome Ladies! so glad you like the info. I know sometimes makeup gets confusing and so many styles get mixed up so I figure I share the info again.Jackie and I always discuss all the mix up and we have made threads before but figure why not keep it going to help everyone.There is so many styles of eye shadows these two are just the beginning :)

This is a great post Alma!! I've been noticing so many girls calling their natural eye looks a smokey eye, and I'm always thinking to myself...that's not a smokey eye! Lol but I'm glad your here to help and inform everyone! I love when you and Jackie do these helpful posts!!
