Your fav Smokey Eye?

[florabundance]

I tried a new one yesterday, which was Black Tied & Silver Ring. worked like a charm

 

[Darkness]

My old and long time favourite smokey eye is:- Electra, Silver Ring & Carbon. My new one is Sweet Sienna pigment (lid), Signed Sealed (crease), Blanc Type & Your Ladyship pigment (brow highlighters).

Good thread! My 2 favorite smokey looks go like this......

Graphito paint as base on the lid
Knight Divine on the lid
Copperplate in the crease
Dazzlelight to highlight
Carbon on the outer corners & along lower lashes

Or I also love......

Delft p/p as a base on the lid
Deep Truth on the lid
Brown Script in the crease
Sketch to deepen the crease
Nylon to highlight
Sign Sealed on outer corners & along lower lashes

I love using Chanel 'Smoky Eyes' palette: it contains four eye-shadows - matte black, shimmering dark grey, shimmering silver and shimmering white.

I like coloured smokey eye. I do either of these two placements:
1. Black gel liner on lid (I use Stila's Black smudgepot) and blend it into the crease
2. any colour on top (I love Freshwater, MUFE 92, Stars 'n Rockets and Humid) and on lower lashline
3. use a colour in the similar family as one of the above but lighter in the crease
4. Carbon in outer v and outer part of lower lashline

Or I do this placement:
1. Any colour I feel like on lid
2. A matte dark colour in the crease
3. Carbon/Graphology or Embark (depending on my lid colour) in outer v

Just thought to add in my other fave smokey eye, I love pink smokey eyes ^_^
Crystal Avalanche E/S all over the lid, and then - Illamasqua's Dizzy all over as the base, MAC Sushi Flower in the crease and on the lower lashline, and Illamasqua's Savage to deepen the crease. Touch up the highlight with MAC Gesso.

My smokey eye shadows really vary, but it always includes Carbon e/s.

 

[kittykit]

What I usually do is

Bare Canvas as the base.
Yogurt on the inner corner.
Knight Divine over the lid.
Carbon on the outer v, a little on the crease.
Shroom for highlight.

 

[Avozilla]

I use Rose, Artifact, and Beauty Marked for mine. Artifact to the crease, rose on the inner corner, and beauty Marked in the outter v.

Where do you place the colors for the brown look?

I'm with Tish on the Smoke Signals quad......that thing is a godsend! It will be a very sad day when I use the last of it.

I also like MakeUpGeek's Kim Kardashian smokey eye which is Silver Fog pigment with Charred, Black Tied, Print & White Frost eye shadows.

 

[Exotica]

i'm on a real plum kick right now.. so my fav smokey eye at the moment is:

nice vice paint pot as base. apply slightly above crease.
in a pressing motion, press a little circa plum pigment all over nice vice
apply shale eyeshadow on the crease/upper crease
apply sketch eyeshadow on the outer v
add some winged out black eyeliner and line the waterline.. add mascara and presto! you're done. i've gotten so many compliments on this look!

Ricepaper= highlight
Wedge= crease (I don't have a crease so I make one with that)
Sable= over the crease
Shroom= on lid
espresso= outer corner of eyes blended into sable

I use wedge to add depth to my eyes. I hope this made sense!!

 

[lindas1983]

My fav smokey eye is

Idol eyes or electra depending on my mood all over the lid
silver ring on the outter half of the lid and blended well with idol eyes
Knight devine in the crease
Black tied in the outer v
Phloof! to hightlight
Lithograph or blacktrack to line depending on my mood

My favorite is the one taught on the MAC video tut:
M·A·C Cosmetics | The Smoky Eye with Luc

It uses a dark brown along the upper and lower lash line which gets smoked out with a brush and gone over with Satin Tape and then the Satin goes all over the lid, using upward strokes from the lash line to achieve a gentle fade of one color from the lash line to the crease. Then I put Woodwinked in the inner corner and Mystery in the outer corner (I think they use Smut though).

I also like the too faced blue and green smokey eye which I replicate using humid and deep truth.

 

[MacAtFirstSight]

I tried copperplate with typographic today and it's gorgeous!

copperplate all over the lid
typographic on the crease and outer v
vanilla highlight

<3

i have brown eyes and copperplate really brings out the color of my eyes and somehow makes them brighter.
imho it will suit everyone
