Here's How:
- Base.
Start your art project with a fresh canvas. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer mixed with foundation to the entire eye area. Blend this in really well, then follow up with a very light dusting of powder.
- Line.
If you have a steady hand, opt for liquid liner. If your prom night nerves have resulted in a shaky arm, choose a power liner which is both more vivid and thus smoky than pencil eyeliner. Apply a thick line to the top lashes, and a sharp, thin line to the bottom lashes.
- Shadow.
With dark shadow in hand, concentrate the color below the crease and lighten as you get to your brow bone. If black shadow sounds too harsh, try a navy blue, dark plum, or matte gray.
- Curl.
Curling your lashes is the key to sleek, smoky eyes. Curl for 30 seconds on each side, then repeat. A blast of heat - dipped into hot water, blasted with a blow dryer - before you curl will add extra drama to those lashes.
- Lengthen.
A great coat of mascara is the icing on the cake. Apply several quick swoops to both eyes, then repeat. A brush of an eyelash comb with eliminate at clumpy extras.
Tips:
- Dramatic eye makeup calls for low-key lips. Go nude or add a swipe of gloss.
- Carry a stick of concealer to tame the dreaded "smoky eye smudge."
