Learn How To Get The Black Smokey Eyes You Want

Author: For drama and confidence nothing beats black smokey eyes. It is one of the most coveted looks. But most women never actually try it: it seems a daunting task. True: black smokey eyes are not the easiest of makeup and they do require some level of expertise. But they are also universally flattering and add sparkle to any eye color. They are also the number one seduction tool.
Let’s look at three essential rules of doing your black smokey eyes really well.
Secret One is keeping it very dark right next to the lashline. This ensures that your eyes get maximum definition.
What shape should it have? Getting this right is the second rule of success.
Step number three consists of just one word: blend.
Keeping it extra dark next to the lashline requires appropriate tools. You would need a soft black eye pencil and a high quality black eyeshadow. What you do with them is you keep the area closest to the eye as dark as possible. Spend time on it, do it thoroughly. The further out you go the less intense the black should be.
Getting the shape right depends on the type of your eye and the style you want. There are smokey eyes that are close to the lashline, there are extended ones that reach out almost to the temple, there are cat-eyed winged ones. And many more! No matter what style you are opting for: make sure that the shape is going up at the outer eye corner (as if toward your temple): a droopy smoky eye does not suit anyone.
Blending means making the edge of the smoky eyes soft and gradual. Read as much advice on it as you can find. Choose your tool. And practice! Some early attempts at blending may end up in smudging the whole shape. But persist and remember: blending is not smudging, blending requires precision. It is the essence of smokey eyes. For complete advice on blending read the chapter dedicated solely to this issue in my ebook about
Black smokey eyes are not the sort of makeup you can forget about once applied. You need to check up on it: is it not smudging, is it in place, is there eyeshadow fallout? Cotton swabs are a perfect tool for this so have a few in your handbag. Always check: the under-eye area and the corners: inner and outer.
Every woman should have black smokey eyes in her repertoire of looks. Although some expertise and dedication are needed here, the benefits are great. The smouldering eye, the sexy gaze, the boost of confidence. Practice your way from step number one all the way to three and you will make this look yours.
