Smokey eye has been a trend of makeup for quite some time, but it is still in fashion. The magic of smokey eyes is the power to transform you immediately from whatever into stylish and mysterious. Many people are not conformable with the smokey eye look for themselves as they do not know how to apply such makeup properly. Once you have put it on, you are going to love it more and more.

One of the well known key to beautiful smokey eye look is the skill for blending the different color eye shadow. This is definitely true. But to have a matte look or the original smokey eye look, you may wish to choose the matte eye shadow instead of the shimmer one.

What you need for smokey eyes basically is three eye shadows. You should have a highlight, a mid-tone finally a contour color. When the three are blended well together with the eyeliner and mascara, they make your eye looks bigger and 3D. It is recommended you to choose a shimmer one as your highlight, a matte one as your mid-tone. For the contour, it is just up to you. You can choose depends on what is the overall look you want.

One thing to note is, before you have actually applied your eye shadow, you should have done all the foundation work. By that I mean, the cleaning, applying base, foundation and concealer. After that, you can start to draw the upper and lower eye lines and smudge.

After the foundation work, you can first apply the highlight eye shadow to the whole upper lid. Then it comes to the mid-tone eye shadow. Apply the mid-tone only from lash line to the crease, not the whole upper lid. Blend well the joint line for the two eye shadows. After blending well, add on the contour from the lash line to the crease again and blend and smudge well. Make sure the two eyes look the same.

To have a really smokey eyes look, eye shadow does 85% of the job. And the remaining relies a lot on mascara. Remember to apply the black and volume-enhancing mascara to match the whole tone.

People always use black and grey colors for smokey eyes. Not to be so boring, you can also have very good effect for using other dark colors like dark green, dark blue, brown, etc. The key is to match the colors with your skin tone, eye color and hair color. Generally, dark blue is suitable blue eye and brown is suitable for brown eye.
