How can i get smokey eye look to look good. im real bad at makeup?

I put black eyeliner on as one normally would do, then blend it with a cotton bud.How can i get smokey eye look to look good. im real bad at makeup?
Step 1 - Take your regular black eyeliner, and apply it to the lower lashes as you would normally, and colour in your entire lid with the black, ensuring you get close to the lash line.





Step 2 - Using a brush or smudger, blend in the edges of what you've coloured in, so they're not such a harsh line. Also, smudge the bottom line for a darker/ smokier effect.





Step 3 - Pat the colour you wish to use for the smokey eye on top of your eyeliner base. DON';T carry this colour any higher than the bottom of your socket line yet, this is where many people go wrong.





Step 4 - Take a clean shadow brush and using a sweeping technique (like the window wipers on a car) blend the colour up your socket line to create the smokey [graduated] colour effect.





Step 5 - Add a light colour under the arch of your eyebrow to act as a highlight





Step 6 - Add mascara (and maybe even lashes) to complete the look.How can i get smokey eye look to look good. im real bad at makeup?
okay i do this all the time


1) line both your lower and upper lashes. then smudge(if you don't have a smudger i'd advise to use a cheap little foam brush that comes with your eyeshadow and just simply use that to smudge the eyeliner.) it doesn't have to be perfect.


2)next take a white shimmery eyeshadow and apply it under your brow bone to the crease (this highlights your brow)


3) take black or really dark grey eyeshadow and apply it liberally to you eyelid up to the crease. Using a simple brush of about medium size. i used to do all this with some cheap brushes you picked up from walmart for a $1


4) Then take a light grey this color doesn't really matter i've used pink and blue before) and gently swipe it on your crease (a small brush usually works better for this)


5) then blend the color on you crease in to the black and white you may need to apply more light grey when doing this just make sure you apply a little at a time then blend. keep doing this till you like the look


6) then take a small brush and swipe some of your black shadow on to your lower lashes. (optional)


7) This is important!!!! when you put on mascara you don't want big bold think long lashes. that will take away from the smokey effect. take some mascara that will length your lashes but not thicken them ( i use Maybelle new yorks Cololassal marcara -its yellow-) a great way to achieve this without clumps is to slighty wiggle your head or mascara wand as you apply it.


8) if you use blush apply a light sheer color just to add a light shine to your cheeks


9) and i'd advise to go with a nude lip or sheer gloss just to add some shine.





I hope i helped. i know it seems like a long process and i'm not gonna lie it is the first and second time you do this, but after that you just get faster and faster and you can usually just have this done in under five minutes. i hope i helped. if you have any questions are need me to explain something more in depth just ask. i'll be happy to help. good luck! =)
heres how i do mine (ive had many comments %26amp; best answers to it %26amp; they say its easy to do %26amp; still looks good!) :





1. Use a light (skin toned) colour all over the eye- lashes to brow.


2. Use a black pencil eyeliner and line above the top lashes- doesn’t matter too much if it‘s a bit messy.


3. Use a cotton bud with a dark eyeshadow on it and go over the eyeliner- making it smudgy.


4. Line under the bottom lashes with a pencil eyeliner and smudge using a clean cotton bud/smudging pen.


5. Use a middle toned eyeshadow (an in-between colour of the ones using) and go over the lid of your eye and just up to the brow bone or just above the crease- which ever you like better.


6. Blend or smudge the middle colour upwards into the lighter colour- just the top edge of the middle colour so you still have colour on your lid.


7. Use mascara- and don’t forget eyelash curler first- apply mascara to the bottom aswell-if you want.
Get 3 eyeshadows, one silver, one grey and one black. Use the silver on the inner corner of the eye, grey in the middle and black on the outer corner, remember to do underneath the eye the same way, then use black pencil eyeliner then mascara. If you're still stuck try youtube, there are some good tutorials on there but some are a bit difficult.
are you using that little foam brush that comes with the eyeshadow?? THROW IT AWAY NOW! you've got to buy professional brushes, and apply the gray to the lid, the dark the crease, and the lighter to the brow. after it is all applied, wipe your brush clean and blend it all slowly. if this does not work, avon has an eyeshadow that is like a stick on. you place this piece of paper on your eye (that has eyeshadow on it) and press down. there you go, smokey eye. lol
To get this look i put a light silvery-white eyeshadow over my eyelid to the eye brow. THe I sweep a layer of silver over the eyelid. The at the edge/ corner of the eye I use a black eyeshadow and blend it half way across the eye. Put on Black eyeliner on the bottom and use a cotton bud to blend.





You tube is great for make up lessons. You can watch the person do it and talk you thro it.
Try this i do it all the time. It works well for me.





You will need:





-Foundation


-Kajal


-Eye liner (preferably Chambor's powdered liner, if u r in india ul easily get it for 275rs), try not using liquid liner.


-Black and grey eye shadow


-Mascara





First make sure your eyes are completely clean.


Apply some foundation around you eyes.








Now apply kajal to the lower lid and use chambor's powdered liner below and above the eye lashes. Make sure the line below your eyes is not very thick. or else it will look scary!





Now with your finger juz smudge the liner a lil to make it blend slightly with your skin.





Apply another thin coat of liner abover your upper lash.





Now put some grey eye shadow all over your upper lid covering your eyes and the are below your eye brows.





Using the black eye shadow cover the area right above the your eye liner only till the crease.








The process sounds a little long but it just takes five minutes.

what you can do on the top of your eyelids you use liquid eyeliner and just dash it across like this - - - - - then you take a smudger or something to smudge it with and keep smudging it til it looks good then if youd like you can add a dark but not too dark eyeshadow to make it look good. it really does work
You Need Black Eyeliner....Black Liquid Eyeliner %26amp; Black Eyeshadow False Lashes are good too!! Oh %26amp;%26amp; Mascara!





Liquid eyeline the top of your lids really close to the root of the lashes...then eyeliner underneath near the bottom lashes. black or like a dark charcoal colour eyeshadow over the lids and lining the bottom of the eye near the bottom lashes again. dont go over board on the shadow though unless you want really dramtic smoky eyes!! just a little to the crease of the eyelid.

use the darker colors on the outside and get lighter as you go in. on the outer crease of your eyelid make a V shape but more like this %26lt; in black or the darkest color you're using and start blending in. black eyeliner on the inside of your eyes adds to the effect as well.
Its pretty simple.


The basics are just dark grey eyeshadow, and pencil eyeliner on the bottom.


I know it wont look perfect, but when you get better at makeup, you can try the liquid eyeliner and different techniques!

if you buy an eyeliner with a smudger on it such as covergirl you can lightly smudge the bottom and it will look nicely smokey, i have this eyeliner and it works a charm. COvergirl Liner cost aprox. $20
