Get The Perfect Smoky Eye!

Are you afraid to wear a smoky eye? Don't be now you can achieve a beautiful one!

                                                       Gather These Items Before You Start
*Undereye concealer: Use any type except a liquid, it gets messy when you layer it with shadows.
*Black eyeliner pencil: Use any that will blend easily, with Soft, Kohl, or Smoky on the label.
*Slate gray powder eye shadow: Use one with a little shimmer, it blends easier than a matte eye shadow.
*Black powder eye shadow: Use one with a light shimmer, but not a lot of sparkle.
*A small tissue: Fold it in half
*Slate gray cream eye shadow
*Black mascara, and false lashes if you want to wear them
                                                  You Will Need Three Brushes For This Look 
*Small angled eye liner brush
*Soft domed eye shadow brush: That will fit in eyelid crease
*Large soft, fluffy brush for blending

I was scared to wear a smoky eye until I followed these steps, now I love it!!!!!!

Step 1. Prep your eye with concealer
Tab it along your lower lash line, over your eyelid, and around the inner and outer corners of your eye
Step 2. Line your lower lash line with a thin line using the black pencil, with the angled brush go over the line until it is blurry
Step 3. With the same angled brush dip into the gray powder eye shadow, and trace over the black liner, then trace over it again with the black powder shadow leaving a little of the gray visible underneath
Step 4. The easiest way to do this step is to lift your upper eye lid with your finger and angle the black eye liner pencil to fill in your inner rim and the tiny spaces between your upper lashes. THIS STEP IS NOT EASY!!! ESPECIALLY FOR ME I CAN"T EVEN PUT EYE DROPS IN MY EYES!!!!
Step 5.Place the folded tissue from the outer corner of your eye, angled up toward your outer brow. With the brush for your crease, sweep gray powder shadow along the upper lash line and past the outer corner. Then blend it up from there to just above the crease in windshield wiper motion creating a V shape.
Step 6. Using the same brush for your crease, and the tissue still in place. Dust the black powder shadow from the middle of your crease to the outer corner, stopping just about to the gray shadow. 
REMOVE THE TISSUE
Step 7. Using the large fluffy brush sweep it over the crease, lower lash line, and outer corner until the shadows are blended and the edges are soft.
Step 8. Pat the fluffy brush gently in the gray cream shadow and dab it across the lid and crease. DON"T SWIPE
Step 9. Finish with mascara, and False lashes if you prefer to wear them.
 
You can create this look using different colors if you would like.
Just play around with them, you will be amazed at what looks you can create!

I hope everyone finds these steps as helpful as I did, I can now wear a smoky eye, and be comfortable with it!!!!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!!!
