Question

Ok every time i try to do the smokey look I look goth -_- I dont know how to do the smokey look. Which product is the best?Which shades look the best?

Answer 1

Shade you eyelids with ashes.

Answer 2

Getting the look is really hard, i tried many times and it was h**l lol! anyways you need to get the right shadows you will wanna use and the right tools you will need. I am sending the link of a youtube video where MAC experts show in an easy way how to get the look.

Answer 3

I am goth, and I do the smokey eyes often. Do you use black? Don't, use silver, grey, cool blue or something. Don't make it heavy under your eyes too much and don't use jet black or charcoal, you will look like me.

Answer 10

things you'll need:

eyelash curler(optional)

jane eyeshadow duet(in black and white)

black mascara

black eyeliner

1) Curl lashes(if you want. it just

makes your eyes look better)

2) Apply black to lids.

3) Apply white on top of black to get a medium-gray color.

4) Apply black to crease of lids and outher edge

of eye, applying some white to make it gray, but

you still want it dark enough to make a difference.

5)Blend.

6)Almost done! Now use the black liner to line

underneath the eyes.

7)Apply 2-3 shades of mascara. Remember,

smoky eyes are dramatic!

p.s. what i do, to add a little punch,

is i sweep a small amount of gold

shadow over the lid. (just on a small area)

Put on some clear lip gloss or a neutral lipstick

and the look is complete!

Answer 11

get someone to blow smoke in your eyes. I'm not sure if that'll help. Might just make your eyes water

Answer 12

Use MAC

and make sure u always blend out the black really good so u wont look all goth. remember the more u blend the softer the eyeshadow looks

Answer 13

The smokey look is actually all about MODERATION.  that way, you don't look goth.

It's actually best to use a dark brown eye shadow instead of a black.  The shadow sould be darkest right on the lip of your top eyelid, just above your eyelashes.  From there, apply it lightly fading out as it goes up and across your eyelid.
