Answer 2

I use Rimmel London professional liquid eyeliner in black on the top lash line, Rimmel London kohl pencil eyeliner in black over the top line if I feel like it and a little bit on the bottom sometimes. Sometimes I only use liquid on the top. I use Maybelline expert wear eyeshadow in night sky with a wet thin angle brush to make a more smoky line over the top and bottom eyelid as a liner. Then I use the angle brush dry with the same night sky eyeshadow to extend it out in a more gray application and blend it (you should use a blending brush) out until it's how I want it to look. Then I use a little whitish shadow under the brown bone and inner corner of the eyes for highlighting. Lastly I apply 2 coats of Maybelline Volum' Express Turbo Boost mascara in black to the top and one coat to the bottom. I don't have to curl my lashes, but if you will be doing that, do it before you apply the mascara.

I LOVE Hard Candy. They have this one where there are 3 different colors of grey to black and I use the black under the eye and the different shades of grey. The darker grey you go in the circle above the actual eye and then fill in the lower lid with the lighter color and they blend together gently. Then I add the black under the lid and possible as an outline on the top lid all the way on the eyelashes. It looks awesome! Plus it has some sparkles in it which really helps with the smokey look.

The key is shading different colors!!!

Use a medium to dark eye shadow shade and apply with an eyeliner brush, but use conservatively on the lower lid.  On the lower lid, you could also use a plae shimmering shade.  On the top lid you can also use a liner pencil and smudge it with a cotton swab.
