Question

How do you get the "smokey" effect with eyeshaddow?

Answer 1

take the eye shadow and put it on.

Answer 2

First start off with a gray powder on whole eye lid......then take black and go from inner corer to outer corner and up.....then take a silver and do a innr corner stripe to top...its confusing but my make up artist told me how.....go online and look more for videos and also sephora.com has some good tips

Answer 3

You can smudge black eyeliner to get the effect, or use a small make up brush, ( I mean smallest you got,) and use black eye shadow. I prefer to use the shadow, because you don't have to pull at your eyes. Plus it gives the same smokey look, but a little softer.

awee i want to know thiss ... TELL MEEE  

Answer 5

I use black eyeliner with a smudger.  Then take a dark silver or light grey eyeshadow.  Let the color get lighter the closer it gets to your eyebrows.  Awesome effect!

Answer 6

Line eyes, smudge a bit, sweep dark color on bottom lid.  Sweep light color on upper lid and work it into the dark color so there isn't a line where dark stops and light starts.  Smudge a little dark color on bottom lashes with an angle brush.  Also add a bit of the light color to the inside of your eyes.

Answer 7

first off get black eyeshadow [MAC is good]

put some on your eyelid [3 strokes of it will get it really dark which is good]

then wipe off a bit of it on a tissue or something. After doing so, take the black again and draw the black on your crease. Take your index finger and brush it in a circular motion in a sort of arc shape. [you'll get a grey-ish look that is lighter than the black on your crease]

then take some LIQUID black eyeliner and put it on your eyelid [not where you put your black eyeshadow in the beginning but @ the bottom of that almost on your lash line--make sure the line is thin because you'll look weird. don't move a lot because the line is supposed to be perfectly straight, do the same on your opposite eye]. Use an eyelash curler on both eyes then apply black mascara.

& there you go =)
