Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your brow bone. Again, the key to a smokey eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect. Once the line is drawn, run your finger over it to smudge the line. For color on the bottom (a key smokey eye look) you'll want to use an eyeliner pencil because they're easiest to smudge. If you're opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smokey eye), line eyes with a purple, blue, or deep green liner. If you're going for a typical black, brown, or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing the line thicker in the middle of eye. Some great primers for a smokey eye include MAC's Paint Pots and Urban Decay's Primer Potion. Simply swipe the primer across the eye and let it dry before you continue to the next step. To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called "primer"). The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to keep the eyelids oil-free.
