Can someone tell me step by step how I can make a smokey eye with these three shades of brown?

Answer 1

You cant. its called a smokey eye because you use black,gray, and white.

Answer 2

nottt true! you can make a smokey eye, but it wont be QUITE as 'smokey' as if you used darker colors, but whatever. sweep the medium shade over your lid. line your eyes with brown eyeliner (top and bottom). on the top, draw the line thicker as you get farther out. use the lightest color in the inner corner of your eyes. use the darkest shade in the outer corner corners of your eyes. this will take a while, and you may have to experiment, but those shades should work fine =]

Answer 3

you should use black... grays....and some bronzes/metallics.... you cant just use 3 shades of brown.....

Answer 4

1. Take the medium taupe shade and apply it all over your eyelid.

2. Next, apply the darkest shade as an eyeliner using an eyeliner brush, or, if you don't have one, use a dark brown eyeliner. (Note: If you use an eyeliner, make sure to smudge it with a Q-tip.) Trace it all the way along your top lashline, but thin it out towards the inner eye (the part closest to your nose). Make the line about medium thickness. Blend the dark eyeshadow into the medium shade on your lid so that there is no line separating the two colours.

3. Apply the darkest shade (that you also used as the eyeliner) into the crease of your eye. Blend!

4. Take the darkest shade again and apply a little on your bottom lash line as an eyeliner. Only apply it about halfway in from your outer corner. Smudge this well with a Q-tip to make it a softer line.

5. Finally, take the lightest shade and apply this on your browbone 9however, I usually skip this step, because it ends up looking like too much makeup!) You can also dab some in the inner corner of your eye to brighten your look.

I hope this helped, and good luck!

There are a few videos on youtube.com that will show you step by step how to do the smokey eye look. I tried to find the ones that were similar to your colors, but you can always find others.

Answer 6

i would take the lightest one and put that all over

then take the one on the right (darkest brown) from lashes to crease and along your bottom lashes

now the one on the left, (middle brown) put a bit along the crease and blend that into the darkest and lightest so that it won't look choppy

finish it up with eyeliner and mascara
