Tutorial: Perfect Smokey Eye Step by Step
This tutorial is for a very dramatic smokey eye that is basically black. It is considered sultry, sexy, and some might refer to it as the “Victoria Secret Model” look.
You will need the following products: a matte black base (Blacktrack fluidline), a matte black powder eyeshadow (Carbon eyeshadow), a matte highlight that’s similar to your skintone (Performance eyeshadow), another matte highlight that’s similar to your skintone, but darker than the one before (Malt eyeshadow), a black eye kohl (Graphblack technakohl, Blacktrack fluidline) and [optionally] a shimmery silver or black eyeshadow if you want a shimmery look (Silver Ring eyeshadow). MAC is what I use, but any cosmetic line you use is fine - using similar colors.
Smokey Brown Eye look - Tutorial & Photos
I've been doing this eye look for a few weeks now fairly often, so I thought I would share with you how I created this look. Since my last blogs on makeup I have had a eye swelling problem caused by allergies that has made it so that my eyes don't look as nice anymore. I have a lot more lines and the skin is very stretched.
Smokey eye for day
Here is a quick look I had to do because in the "Purple Green eyes for Hazel eyes" look I did Wednesday 27th August 2008 (http://teamsugar.com/group/88093/blog/1896125) I showed you how you could have a quick day smokey eye and I wanted to finish it. I'm really tired, so it's going to be a quick blog.

- Neutrogena Pure glow (dry and sensitive skin daily cleansing cushion)

Preparation
I started with the cleansing cushion and cleaned my face using the scrub side first and the soft side second.
A different smokey eye (by request)
I was asked to show a picture of a different type of smokey eye, the normal smokey eye is starting to bore her and she wanted something new. Also she's pretty good with makeup so no in between pictures today (which is handy because I'm still searching for time).
Soooo I came up with this eye:
Products in this picture:
- Smashbox, Hybrid 2 in 1 - Luminizing Primer
- Smashbox, High Definition Healthy FX Foundation - Light L3
- Smashbox, Travel Foundation Brush
- Make Up For Ever, High Definition Powder
- Sephora Professionell Brand, Mineral Powder Brush - no.
Smokey eye using the Sephora Smokey Eye kit
I got the Sephora Smokey Eye kit a couple of days ago and was waiting for a night to try it out, after a couple of days (today) I decided that I didn't care anymore and toned it down a bit to wear it during the day.
I'm one of those weird people that thinks about eyes first and then thinks what hair and clothes go with it. (For everyone that's curious, I had my hair in a loose bun with curls falling out, had jeans on with a tight Billabong sweater and high boots over the jeans.) My scent for today was Calvin Klein One.
Quick light purple smokey eye for brown eyes
For saynogirl I did this light purple smokey eye. Colour can still be worn this winter and for the skin tone she describes (the colour on my profile picture, whilst I'm not that brown anymore) you can wear a colour that's noticeable and smokey, but still light and fun for day wear. She has brown eyes, so in the final picture I photoshopped my eye colour to look more brown.
Smokey Eye Kits...For Less
I've been enamored of the smokey eye look for SO long. I thank you ladies for posting a how-to for this look! So now I'm still on the lookout for a great smokey eye kit.
Smokey eye with grey and satin gold eye look.
I love doing a light smokey eye for day and I spiced it up a little with a satin gold colour.
I wanted to wear a jean skirt today and with that my look automatically goes to a grey smokey eye. But I did want to add a little bit of a highlight using gold.
Light Smokey Eye Makeup
Today I felt like using my L'Oreal Smokey Eyes palette, but because I was taking my son to a playground I did not want to go overboard with the darkness and drama. That's why I did not use shadow underneath the brows and just blended it into and a bit above the crease very well. I only used two of the colors in the palette .
My Smokey Eyes with Luxe Lashes
This is a look I did for a night out. Being Asian, I dun have nice deep set eyes to pile on the smokey eye shadow color. But I do blend my colors quite well, and I use this set of cool Luxe Lashes from Shu Uemura to make my eyes pop.
