Have you ever wanted to copy the smoldering, smoky eyed look seen on the red carpet or fashion runways? Now is your chance. Creating the look can be fun and the results can be dramatic. Your makeup can look like it was created by a professional when you follow these steps.
Put some concealer under your eye to cover any dark circles. Brush a sheer or matte (whichever you prefer) light pink shadow over your eyelid, using a medium sized brush.
Brush a medium gray shadow into the crease of your eye. Be sure to use a medium sized brush in a back and forth sweeping motion. Brush a dark gray shadow into the outer half of your crease on top of the lighter gray, and on to the outer half of your lid on top of the pink shadow as well.
Line the top of your lids as close to the lash line as possible with a black liquid liner in a thin line, getting slightly thicker as you reach the outside corner. Line the bottom inside rim of your eye with a black pencil.
Brush the dark gray eye shadow underneath your eye using a small brush. Start with a thin line at the inside corner and get progressively thicker as you brush toward the outer corner. Blend the shadow under your eye up into the shadow in the outer corners of your upper lid, so that it is seamless.
Curl your upper lashes with a quality eyelash curler (see Resources for suggestions). Apply black mascara to your upper lashes in one coat on the back side, and two coats on the front. Apply the same mascara to the lower lashes. Blend your eye shadow by rubbing it slightly together with your finger. Repeat these steps on your other eye and you are done! All you need now, is a gown, and some pale pink lipstick, and you are ready for the red carpet!
