Go ahead and click on either of these links. Both are from fully reputable beauty sites, but truly- who needs or wants such nonsense? It’s TOO COMPLICATED.
If you’re going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. If your opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.
Most of us don’t have time to bother with more than two or three steps if we’re trying to get out of the house by 8:00am, so I do my daily smoky eyes this way.
1. Apply dark, shimmery shade to eyelid with your finger and smudge up and out at outer corners. I have hazel eyes and like to use this Almay i-color bring out powder shadow. I just use the darkest one in this middle.
2. Apply a pencil eyeliner with some shimmery light particles in it. My current day-to-day favorite is a dark green that came from MAC years ago but is now discontinued.
However, the new Heatherette for MAC line has some that I plan to try out today or tomorrow. (Please clickety-click the link and watch the video on MAC’s website!)
Smudge, smudge, smudge. Use a q-tip and put whatever is left of the top liner on the q-tip underneath your lower lash line.
3. LOADS of mascara. I get the best results from applying the Maybelline bright green tube Define-a-lash mascara first, waiting for it to dry, and then applying MAC Prolash. I reccommend NEVER applying Waterproof mascara because I find very few that don’t clump in a fully inexcusable way.
That’s it! Nothing else. If you have thoughts please comment and let me know.
