Smokey Eye Look - what else can make you as desirable and seductive? Nothing, I am afraid :) So, here are seven steps that taught me to get that Smokey Eye Look men simply can’t resist!
Step 1 - Begin by applying a light shade of concealer to the under eye area, and all over the top lid. Your mineral makeup foundation is a great concealer for this step and prepares your Eyes for the eyeshadow that you are going to apply.
Step 2 - First, line both the top and bottom rims with an eye pencil, paying close attention to going into the lash line itself. If you have small eyes apply liner starting from the middle of the under eye to the outside of the eye. If your eyes are large feel free to line from corner to corner.
HINT: If you are using liquid liner you can place dots on the lash line and then follow the dots to get a perfectly straight line. I knew those connect the dot puzzles I did as a kid would come in handy some day!
Step 3 - With a small eye shadow brush or a q-tip, soften the edges of the eye pencil line. Apply a dark shadow using a sponge-tip applicator, smudge brush or a q-tip directly over the penciled area and smudge. (If you prefer, you can use your finger tip.) The shadow helps to set and soften the look.
Step 4 - Next apply a lighter shadow in a neutral tone with a larger eye shadow brush, I like to use the wet/dry brush. Encircling the entire eye area, be sure to soften and graduate outward for that perfect blended look. Add Mascara!
Step 5 - Brush away any shadow that has fallen below the eye with a fluffy brush and clean up any areas that have smeared with a q-tip.
Step 6 - Want a more dramatic look add more Shadow and Mascara! If you are looking for the most dramatic effect be sure to curl those lashes and apply 2-3 coats of black mascara!
HINT: Want your eyes to look larger - Pull your liner upward when lining your bottom lashes instead of out from the top liner! This will make your eyes look larger and rounder!
Step 7 - Lightly line lips with a Natural color and add some sheer color in peach, caramel, or barely there pink! Do the same for your cheeks as you don’t want to take away from those eyes! Voila!
You’ve got the look!

Hi Manal,
Whether you are using a brush or a pencil to apply your liner press the brush or pencil as close to the edge of your lash line (near the root of your lashes) as possible filling in any bare spaces. Similar to painting a wall and getting as close to the ceiling as possible. Do this to the bottom lid along the lash line underneath the lashes and above the lashes on the top lid.
Dont go back to the 60’s and line the inner eyelid that rests near your actual eye! You are just looking for an infection! Not only that it will just eventually smear and you will have a Raccoon look!
If you have any real hard lines from using a liquid or heavy pencil liner you will want to lightly smudge the line so it is softer and less harsh looking. You can check out the step by step pictutres on the website under articles!
Have Fun and be sure to protect yourself from all those men throwing themselves at you!
this was easier than I thought! i especially liked the tip for small eyes!! thnx : D
