Smokey Eye, maybe too smokey ;)

[Jennifer Mcfly]

here was my one and only attemp at a smokey eye. I just got back from MAC and got a quad with Vex, Club, Beauty Marked & Shale and thought they looked perfect for my first real smokey eye so i used them ALL!!!
so, i think it came out a little tooooo smokey but hey, it was my first attempt. it seriously took me f-o-r-e-v-e-r to do it!!!

oh yeah, i also have on Spite lipglass

any tips would be nice pleeease!!!
thanks lovelies!!! XOXO

You know what? I really like it! Great if you are going somewhere really formal. Well done for your first attempt at a smokey eye! I love smokey eyes - I do them on myself all the time, with dark or bright colours!

Anyways, good work!

yeah, after i took the pics and saw them on the computer i thought to myself i pulled the color too far out on the corners and too high up, but i figured what the heck, it was a good try!

Thanks for the nice words and I hope you <3 the shadow!!!

I love how dramatic it looks. Yeah I agree, it would be great for if you're going out.

 

[funKyVibeS*]

yeah i think i agree with you with the "too smokey"
maybe if u toned it down a bit it would be kinda better?
nonetheless, its nice

 

[Juneplum]

that's VERY dramatic, and can i just say your hair is adorable!!! ita with u that the color was pulled up and out a leeettle too high BUT it's damned pretty!

 

[ballerino]

I think you look gorgeous! Not too high up at all i think, perhaps some more highlight in the outer corner - where it may appear too high might balance it out. Very dramatic and gorgeous, i love how big it makes ur eyes look!!!!

congrats, i'd never have told it was a first time!

 

[kimmy]

you can never be too smoky ;D i absolutely lovvve it!!

 

[Alexa]

eeeeeeeep i love it! only thing i would change is how dark it is near the brow bone. i'm so jealous of your eye color..ah!

and i was wondering, McFly, in your username, is it your name or is it from the band? lol sorry im so nosey

 

[exodus]

Hubba hubba! Looks so sexy! You pull it off well

I don't know much about smokey eyes though (having never done one myself) so I'll just sit back, read the other comments and learn hehehe. I think it looks fantastic though, you're so pretty!

 

[Pei]

Whoa u drama mama!

I personally find it a lil too smokey...maybe it's the bottom?

I can't say what it is...

Nevertheless, u still look pretty!

 

[SugarAsh182]

Wow I think it looks fantastic! You look very model-esque! I love it!

 

[breathless]

perfect look for an evening out with a light flowy colored dress on. sexy ma'ma!

Beautiful color combo for a smokey eye...you are gorgeous! I have a few tips that may make the look even more flawless. I do think that your highlight could be a little lighter (there needs to be just a bit more contrast imo)...it will set the look off better...phloof would be a really pretty complement with the red in both smut and beauty marked...I don't think that the crease is necessarily brought up too high..but I think the shape could be altered slightly to bring out the shape of your eyes...Make the crease lighter and less concentrated in the inner half of the crease and keep the height on the outer...also, take a sponge or a brush and bring the bottom up more...take it up on angle....When I do a smokey eye I like to use #224 brush and I start where I want the color most concentrated (the outer edges) and work inward...that way the color fades and is deposited heaviest where I start. I also like to do the eyes first before foundation and concealer so the look is really clean...but just enough smudginess...That's just some of my ideas for you...keep up the great work...You are very talented!

not too smokey at all, its great!

 

[Viva_la_MAC_Girl]

I think it looks HOT! Def, a night look but none the less it looks great!

 

[PreTTyAnGeL]

i agree with everyone...it looks awesome, but not so high next time. Then again i think my smokey eyes arent smokey enough!
