I have all the necessary MAC brushes and shadows to make a smokey eye. I watch tutorials on youtube or whatever and see how they do their smokey eyes. Butttt here is my problem.....whenever I start to apply the crease color/outer v/smokey eye color.....it seems to get ALL over my lid and then you can't really see that I have TWO DIFF color eyeshadows on. Does this make sense?
I use the 224 or 217 or the 275 and none of them work for me. I really like how Jlovesmac1's smokey eyes are..... like you can totally see the contrast between her lid color and the smokeyness of her outer v/crease area.
So I apply my lid color all over my lid, then start from the corner and either do small circles from my outer v towards the inner eye.....or I try using the 275 to "flick" from the outer v towards the inner. This tends to leave me looking like I just have ONE color all over my lid. I try to reapply my lid color.....and it still looks like I just have 1 color on my eye.
What is your trick? Do I have to wet my brushes to make sure that the crease color stays there? I DONT like to wet my brushes because they leave a film on my shadows
