The perfect black smokey eye
1. Do your base, primer around the eye and a thick layer of
powder underneath to easily get rid of the eyeshadow fallouts.





2. Put a black base of your choice on the eyelid to get
a deep black color. Creme shadow, eye
pencil, whatever you've got and like.





3. Put a thick layer of black eyeshadow on your lid.





4. Put a dark grey shadow in the crease and blend
it up towards the brow and down into the black.





5. Put the dark grey in the lower lash line, from
the inner to the outer corner of the eye.





6. Now put the black on the
outer third of the lower lashline.





7. Put a highlighter of your choice under your eyebrow and
the inner corner of your eye. Draw a thick black eyeliner on
your upper lid and black liner on your waterline.





8. Fill in your brow and do your mascara. Done!

Re: The perfect black smokey eye
So perfect and easy... Thank you for this. I think my problem with the smokey eye is I make it more complicated than it needs to be! I will definitely be doing this look!

Re: The perfect black smokey eye
How did you manage to have the colour looks glittery-ish in the second pic, matte in the next one and then glittery again?

Re: The perfect black smokey eye
It looks like she used a black, glittery base, then applied a matte black shadow over it... and perhaps the dark grey she applied next had some fallout during the blending process.

Re: The perfect black smokey eye
Have never tried anything this dark before. But I just bought blackground paint pot so I am going to give it a go tomorrow

Out of interest, what products did you use, particularly the grey and the highlight colour?
