Answer 2

Because you have brown eyes, you can wear lots eye shadow colors well. For a smokey eye, however, I would suggest either a navy or plum shade. Either will look hot.

First of all, you want a very soft, round tipped eye shadow brush to apply the eye shadow. Then, you'll want to have both a dark shade of shadow, and a shade either one or two steps lighter than the first.

First, apply the darker shade to the lower part of the lid, and go up slightly at the edge of the eye. Then, blend the lighter shade of shadow at the crease of your eye as well as slightly above it. Also sweep the two shades together at the edge.

Finish off with some brown/black eyeliner and a few coats of mascara. I'd personally only put these on the top, but that's up to your preference.

Good luck lady!

A good dark eyeliner (i like marykay) and black eyeshadow. Just don't overdo it or you'll look like an emo rocker or a crack addict lol

Answer 4

Use dark and medium blue eye shadow. And, in the corner where the lashes meet, put a smudge of grey there.

Answer 9

I would suggest getting one of those eye shadow trays with multiple shades of brown and grey. Use a brown/grey eyeliner, and then blend from dark to light with browns and greys right above your eyelashes--smudging is great, because it gives them a softer look. Then use a brownish-black mascara, not a deep black, and tada! You have a soft, dark, smoky look! To make it heavier, add more dark grey.

Answer 10

use black eyeliner, black mascara that makes your lashes long and thick.

Below is a link to the MAC website so you look at the colors I use.

Colors:

Knight Divine

Sliver Ring

Vex

and then some Black Tied

all you have to do is scroll down and you'll find the colors.

So the way I apply is it i take the brush and apply the silver ring on my eyelid. then i put the knight divine in the creases of my and and kinda mix in a little of the black tied with it. then at the top of my eye near the eyebrow, I apply the vex color,
