Smoky Eye Perfection

The smoky eye is everywhere... it's one of the biggest makeup trends.  It compliments all skin tones, and it adds an extra element of glamour for those special nights out.  It takes a few steps to perfect the smoky eye look, and today I'm sharing my secrets with the TSS readers!

What you will need:

            1) Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer

            2) Colossal Mascara

            3) Bobbi Brown Bone Eye Shadow

            4) Mac Cork Eye Shadow

            5) Mac Carbon Eye Shadow

            6) Mac Rice Paper Eye Shadow

            7) Mac Retrospeck Eye Shadow

            8.) Bobbi Brown Black Gel Eyeliner

Step One:

Apply primer all over the lids and lower lash line. I highly recommend Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer. Your eye makeup will last all day without smudges!

Step Two:

Apply Bobbi Brown Bone to the brow bone of your eye.  Once you're done applying, use Mac Rice Paper on the lid stopping at the crease of your eye.

Step Three:

Apply Mac Cork through the crease of your eye, and extend slightly upward to the middle of the crease of your eye.

Step Four:

Where you have stopped in the middle of your eye with Cork, finish the crease by applying Mac Retrospeck to blend into the Cork.

Step Five: 

Use Mac Carbon to accent the corner or your eye, extending it outward.  For a more dramatic look, apply extra of the black Carbon shadow.

Step Six:

Line your lower lashline with Mac Cork, and apply Mac Retrospeck to the inner corner of your eye.

Step Seven:

Apply gel eyeliner and mascara.  Gel eyeliner gives a bold line with intense color.  After that, voila!  You

have the perfect smoky eye!
