What's the best way to do smokey eyeliner?

Question

I love my black eyeliner, but i'm not quite sure how to do the smokey look. Any help?

Answer 1

You can buy black eyeshadow at local stores like wal mart.

They usually have like grey black and white in the same compact, just put eyeliner on really thin and then with a small small brush put the eyeshadow around your eyelids

Answer 3

I normally use THREE colors to do my look. I get a frosty white, silver, and black. On the inner corner of your eyes, apply the frosty white. On the middle of your lids, apply silver or gray. Then on the outer lid, apply a little bit of black. Blend the harsh lines out and there you go! Line the eyes withe black eyeliner and you're good to go!

Answer 6

I use a slanted brush with eye shadow - Must use matte shadow only, since the other might get in your eyes and cause irritation.

Then use a darker color to outline and a lighter color to smooth out from the last line.  The trick is to blend it very well and softly.  Otherwise it looks like cat eyes.

Answer 7

The smokey eye look is not created with just eyeliner, you also use eyeshadow.

Basically what you do is you put a gray shadow all over the lid, then you put black at both corners, and in the middle you pat a metallicy and reflective pink (as well as on the inner corner to accentuate the eye) and then you use a clean brush and blend. Then you bring some of the black onto the bottom.

I suppose if you wanted to use a black eyeliner to achieve the smokey it would be doable (I think I've tried it before too!). You put eyeliner on as you usually would. Then at the just use it as an eyeshadow, and draw a squiggle on your eyelid. Then take a Q-tip and blend all over. It should become a grayish color. Then fill in the outer corners and blend in. Fill in the bottom eye, and that's pretty much it.

Hope that helped!

Answer 8

Get an eyeliner with one side black and the other end silver or grey.

Apply the black first and somewhat heavy, then apply a line of silver over it. Smudge it a little with your ring finger, then add a little more silver.

Answer 9

After the liner is applied, use a Q-tip & gently smudge the liner for a smokey look
