Second try at a smokey eye

[dreamer246]

I'm still pretty new to the world of eye makeup, so please be kind! CC are welcome. No eyeliner because I have hidden lids, so they are never visible when I open my eyes, plus they smudge like crazy on me, hence I hardly use them anymore. No mascara too, because I wasn't wearing contacts today.

Thanks for looking!

good progress Winnie, if you don't wear liner the top, how about the bottom? Oh an falsies would look great on you! Try them!

This looks really good.

Thanks! Yeah ok I'll try to put liner on the bottom - hopefully it doesn't smudge as well, I have terribly oily skin.

I wear specs most of the time though, and I think falsies would keep hitting my glasses. Lol. That's the reason why I don't put mascara when I have my glasses on as well.

^ Even if the liner on the bottom did smudge a bit, I think it would just add to the smokey-ness of the look!

 

[dreamer246]

Lol true! Good point you've got there. I will put liner on the bottom next time then.

 

[Holy Rapture]

Pretty good Winnie!

Don't worry about mascara n glasses, trust me, nothing happens

Try the mascara n waterline lining ... You'll look even more gorgeous!

 

[dreamer246]

Lol actually I have pretty long lashes, so they do hit against my glasses. I've tried it before. But yeah, definitely gonna try waterlining next time round!

 

[claralikesguts]

pretty!

 

[dreamer246]

Thank you!

I have a question to ask though: should I put e/s on the lower lid as well? If so, which color(s) should I put below?

 

[ChandraD]

When I do shadow on my lower lash line, it's usually the color that's on my outer crease. Sometimes I'll do black as well. I also sometimes put really vibrant colors on my lower lash line if I'm doing a nude look. It really makes your eyes pop. I definitely think you should try it out!

 

[RandomnessWithK]

very cute! i agree with everyone - liner on the bottom or even eyeshadow (the color you used on the outer crease would be nice) would intensify the smokeyness

Thank you all! Can't wait to put your suggestions into practice.
