Answer 2

Some people just place it on their eyelid, especially shiny black but I don't really like that look.

I usually do a smoky cat eye (http://64.13.133.31/pics/up-52IJUR8A299B... or (http://www.morphthing.com/showimage/2/0/... because I have almond eyes. To do this, first apply liquid or pencil eyeliner (I prefer liquid) in a thin line all around the eye and extend it slightly past the top outer corner. Then just take a small angled brush (http://shop.sukipure.com/images/Zsuki_an... with the eyeshadow on it and run it along your whole top lash line and outer 1/2 corner of the bottom lash line. Blend it out a little bit as you go towards the outside of the eye. If you want a more defined line, you can wet the brush a little bit before putting it into the eyeshadow.

Another thing you can do is just a plain non-cat smoky eye (http://gracemagazine.files.wordpress.com... To do this look like Kiera Nightly, first apply a very light silvery gray all over the eyelid. Then using an eyeshading brush (http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productD... apply the black eyeshadow on the outer half of each eyelid and also extend it on the top across the crease. Make sure you blend it really well, I only use that one brush but a lot of people use several brushes. Take the angle brush and apply it without wetting the brush on the bottom eyelid in a thin line. Use a light creamy color instead of a stark white to highlight the brow bone and inside corners of the eyes.

Answer 6

you can wear a black eye shadow to get a smoky eye look...Put on a thick line of black eyeliner...Next I use my finger to rub a shimmery grey eye shadow across my upper eye lids and just past the crease of my eyes. I also use my finger to smudge the eye liner as I apply the eye shadow to soften and blend the eyeliner a little into the eyeshadow.Next I use a smudge brush to apply and to smudge a shimmery black eye shadow into the crease of my eye and to the upper and lower lash lines. I do this because it will soften the eye liner even more and this is what creates the smoky eye effect. It’s a good idea to go lightly with applying the black eye shadow and then build up the intensity until you’re happy with how much you have on. I personally don’t like to make the shadow too dark, but again it’s all up to personal preference.Then I highlight my brow bone with a very light dusting of shimmery white eye shadow.Last but not least, I apply black mascara to my upper and lower lashes and I’m done!

QUICK TIP: Finish this look with a nude or clear gloss on your lips. The main attraction should be your eyes.

and you also wear a black eye shadow as an eye liner...

apply it using the tip of a damp sponge.

Answer 7

make a smoky eye, just be careful, and take a piece of toilet paper or a napkin and put it under your bottom lashes, because otherwise the loose flakes will fall under your eye and you will either look like you have a black eye or like you havnt slept in weeks

Answer 8

With lots of blending!

Answer 9

put some foundation on ur eyes first to make it stick better

then apply it w/ the brush that comes w/ it to ur eyelid

then use a brush to apply up to ur brow bone and blend!

use a little liquid eyeliner and mascara

Answer 10

you can put the eyeshadow close to the rim of you eyelid by your eyelashes and use a q-tip or your finger to smeer it a bit over your eyelid. also blend it or you could mix it a bit with a silver color.

Answer 11

Well, I think black shadow is always classic, with Smokey eyes. Try placing a small amount over your eye lid with a brush applicator. Sweep the brush lightly over eye lid and work your way up into the crease of your eye. Then for the top use a lighter color and sweep directly under the eye brow. Now if you feel the black is too heavy then high light it with a lighter color over the black shadow.  You can also use black for just the crease of your eyes with a lighter color over the eye lid and under the brow.
