Violets, Browns, greens, and black would look good on your color eyes.

   1. Prep the lid.  The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called "primer"). I prefer to dab at bit of MAC's 'paint' on lids before shadow application. Or try Fresh Freshface Perfecting Eye Primer.

   2. Apply eyeliner. 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.

   3. Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smoky eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner. The key is to "smudge it." You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.

   4. Apply light base color Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone. I love Stila's whipped eye shadows $20. The moist "mousse" consistency seems to stay on forever. My favorite colors are taupe and pearl.

   5. Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base and eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line, blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.

   6. Doublecheck your work Make sure eyes match and blend color with a Q-tip if need be.

   7. Finish with several coats of volumizing mascara. Tried and true mascaras (featured in "Elle" magazine's March 2006 issue) include DiorShow Mascara & L'Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Mascara. Elle's writer says they are the best volumizers she's tried.

Tips:

   1. Remember to keep lips nude. When applying strong makeup (like smoky eyes or red lips) put the focus on either eyes or lips, never both. (Think Angelina Jolie: She either plays up her huge eyes or her

huge lips, never both. If she did, she'd look like a clown).

   2. For a bit of fun, try a blue or purple mascara. It will make blue eyes "pop."

   3. Liner doesn't have to come in pencil form. Makeup experts know eyeshadows make some of the best eyeliners. To do this take an eyeliner brush (available at Sephora, MAC or any dept store), wet it, then dab wet brush into the dark shadow. This allows for a deep, precise line. You can also use the dark shadows without wetting brush first. Either way, eyeliner is necessary for smoky eye.

  

4. This season go jewel-toned (blue is great for you blue-eyed girls) and keep your eyes smoky but stay away from dark browns and black. Instead, go for a deep purple, a gold-brown or any of the many vibrant colors in this year.

What You Need:

    * Eye primer (you don't need it, but it's great for keeping shadow in place)

    * 2 Shadows: One light, one darker

    * Eyeliner

    * Makeup brushes

    * Mascara

Hope this helped=) Good luck!

Answer 7

try using different sources of eye shadow products as they can help the skin tone and the overall look about how you look . if you apply it and smudge it in the will work wonders :)

TEN POINTS XD :D !!

Answer 8

For a smoky eye on fair skin, go for a chocolate brown shadow. It's dramatic without looking scary (like black).

Put a light shadow on your eye lid. Then smudge the brown into the crease of your eye. Make sure you blend it well. Then use a little brown eyeliner, top and bottom. Then take a slanted brush (the flat kind) and dab the chocolate brown shadow along the eyeliner on your bottom lash. Blend, blend, blend to make it look smoky - not messy.

The trick to avoiding messy is after it's applied. Take a little of your foundation and/or powder (whatever you use) and clean up any little flakes that may have fallen. Just swipe the brush under your eyes.

Good luck!
