How to apply smokey eye make-up?
The crease is very important to the smokey eye and it needs special attention. With a taupe colored shadow, or a mixture of gray and brown, pick up a small amount (to begin), and work it into the crease area. Continue until the area is well defined, with lots of attention to the blending process. Remember, the look we are after is smokey.
With your favorite mascara, coat lashes so that they play up the darkness of the eye area. Several coats might be necessary.
