The Seductress Smokey Eyes

This is a very heavy smokey eye look that is not for everybody. If your eyes are too small or if you have a lot of lines and creases around your eyes, then you may want to steer clear of this look as it will make the flaws more obvious. Basically, this look involves piling on the black to create a very intense smokey eye look.

  • Make sure you put on an eye primer to get your eyelids ready for the makeup. The primer will help keep the makeup in place without any smudging or creasing.
  • Take a minuscule amount of black powder eye shadow on your brush and apply it onto the outer corner of your lids. Work it onto your lids and over your crease.
  • Use an eye pencil to draw a thick line over your lids. Smudge it with your brush to start creating the smokey eye effect.
  • Use your eye pencil under your lower lashes and smudge it out with your fingers.
