Smoky Eye makeup

Achieving a flawless and well-blended smoky eye effect relies heavily on seamless color blending. It is also very important to use a light base colour with a dark rich colour for optimum results.

//1// For avoiding creases in your beautiful eye shadow, apply some eye-shadow base (which is also known as primer). This will also help the eye-shadow to last longer. Let it dry before you apply the rest of the make-up.

//2// Apply eyeliner above the upper lash line, making it thicker in the middle of the eye.

//3// Blend some colour directly under the bottom lashes. Using an eyeliner pencil may be easier to apply and smudge. After drawing the line, smudge the line using your finger smoothly and softly. Apply a bit of eye-shadow to get a full smudge effect.

//4// Apply the light base shadow on your eyelids to your brow bone. Now using an eye-shadow, brush blend in the darker shade color starting at the lash line and blending upwards. Make sure you blend in to the lash line so that the eyeliner disappears. Make sure you keep the dark eye shadow, below the crease.

//5// To complete the smoky eye effect, apply several coats of mascara so that you lashes appear thicker and longer. You may want to use a lash curler if you do not have very long and curly eyelashes. Tip: Use a blow dryer to heat up the lash curler for even better results. Be careful not to burn.

Learning to apply smoky eye makeup takes a little practice, but this sexy look will boost your confidence when you steal a sideways glance at the one you love. So just how do you achieve that sultry look? It's a simply step-by-step process. Follow closely and you'll become an expert at the ever-so-sexy bedroom eyes look.

Use a dark pencil around the rim of the eye.

Don't skimp, you need plenty of color for smudging. Use a brush to blend and smudge it in, until it looks like a dark stain.

A dark brown eye shadow.

Blend it in right on top of the black pencil you just used.

Lighter shadow comes next.

For this step, use a soft, fluffy, tapered bush and a lighter eye shadow. Blend the lighter shadow right into the dark brown layer and then move up the lid with the lighter shadow. The secret is to blend, blend, blend. The darkest colors stay at the last line and then gradually get lighter as you move up the lid.  

Bring on the mascara
With bedroom eye look, you need plenty of mascara. Load up both upper and lower lashes with at least two coats and then separate the lashes with a lash comb. This will emphasize your sexy eyes and bring that bedroom look all together.

You may need a bit of practice to get this look just right. It's all about the blending and the smudging with bedroom eyes, so don't wait until the big night to try out this look. With a bit of practice, you will be able to create a sexy bedroom eyes look in just minutes. Remember, though: bedroom eyes can be dangerous! Be ready for a strong response.

Removing Mascara

While removing the mascara try to avoid letting the mascara get on the delicate area below the bottom lashes. Be sure to close your eyes. A cotton ball wet with an eye makeup remover is a great way to remove the mascara. Sweep the cotton ball over your eyes until it comes up clean. Then, splash the eye area with warm water to remove any excess mascara and cleanser. Pat dry, and your done!
