Smokey Eyes Make Up Tips for Your Sultry Eyes - Part 2

For any of those colors, you may choose a lighter shadow that will complement your first color, such as white, cream, nude or sand. For the eyeliner, it would be better to use eyeliner pencils than liquid eyeliners, since your goal is to create a smudged look. Alternatively, you can also use dark eyeshadows for the lining of the eyes. All you have to do is use a thin, stiff brush to apply the lining around your lids.

THE STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE:

1. Apply a thin layer of foundation base, followed by a thin layer of face powder for the eyes, to create a clean canvas for the eye color for later. Also, remember that the full foundation will be applied later to clean off the loose shadow particles that you may leave off.

2. Apply your eyeliner now. Line both the upper and lower lids, using an eyeliner color that will best complement the shadows that you have chosen to use. Remember that you do not need a clean finish; instead, smudge the lines to create the effect needed. However, make sure that you don't have racoon-like eyes that will make you look overdone.

3. Apply your highlighting shadows from the eyelids up to the base of the eyebrows. Now, use your feature shadows and blend it with the eyeliner from the eyelids upwards to the creaseline of your eyes. Remember that blending the eyeliner and the eyeshadows will create the smudged effect that you need.

4. Apply mascara.

5. Reapply foundation to clean off excess shadow powder below the eyes and be careful not to damage your smokey eyes now.

6. For your lips, use something neutral, as all attention should go to your eyes.

7. Apply a subtle apricot or terracota flush on your cheeks for a finish.

These smokey eyes make up tips will highly make you the star of the night. You can now enjoy your sexy, sultry and dramatic eyes!
