Tutorial: Black Smokey Eye

hi :) 

this is my version of a black smokey eye. all products will be listed below.

1. Start with Mac's Bare Canvas paint tube over entire lid and work it up into the crease

2. Then apply Mac's Mystery eyeshadow into the crease

3. Next apply Mac's Satin Taupe eyeshadow where Mystery and the brow bone meet. Work this upwards and then blend with a clean blending brush.

4. Next apply Mac's Vanilla eyeshadow (different then Mac's Vanilla pigment) as a brow highlight.

5. To start with the black you need it to have a sticky base. I applied Coastal Scent's Gel Liner in True Black over the lid. Then blend with a clean blending brush. This is supposed to be a smokey eye so no harsh lines! (Mac has several paint pots and shadesticks in black shades that will work as well. Also any gel or pencil liner will work too. Use whatever you have!)

6. Next I applied Mac's Carbon eyeshadow over top the black base. Then blend.

The next couple steps are up to you:

You can apply liner to your upper lash line with whatever product you'd like. You can also line your upper and lower waterlines.

Then you can use any mascara you'd like

I HIGHLY recommend fake eyelashes because it will really bring out the color of your eyes and add more dimension to your look.
