I think it’s safe to say that everyone loves a good smokey eye. However, many women steer clear of this make-up <\/span>maneuver<\/span><\/span> for fear of 1. looking like a streetwalker and 2. looking like you slept in yesterday’s make-up. Obviously, neither of these options are appealing. <\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
Fear no more ladies… Follow these 6 steps to smokey eye bliss. You can even do it yourself! To ensure you have a clean application be sure to do your eyes first, clean up any residue on your face, then apply concealer and foundation. Also, to avoid looking like a street walker, make sure to keep your lips nude, with only a touch of gloss. And lastly, easy on the blush ladies…. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
1. <\/span> Prep your lids.<\/span><\/b> Also known as a primer, these products keep your make-up from melting off. I love <\/span>Trish <\/span>McEvoy<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/a>and <\/span>MAC<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/div>\n
2. <\/span>Apply Eyeliner.<\/span><\/b> Although I generally use liquid liner, a powder applied with an eyeliner brush is best for smokey eyes. You could spend a lot of money on <\/span>different<\/span><\/span> colors, but my girl Bobbi has put it all together for you <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. Start at the inner corner and work your way out. Make the line a bit thicker in the middle of the lid, then bring it back down as you move outward.<\/span><\/div>\n
3. <\/span>Line your lower lids.<\/span><\/b> Use the same powder on the lower lid, apply generously, then smudge with your finger. Tip: Powder will sprinkle your face. I tend to lick tip tip of a Q-Tip to clean up under eye area.<\/span><\/div>\n
4.<\/span> Apply base color.<\/span><\/b> Pick a cream, shimmery color to apply over top lid. Start at the inner corner and bring it up to your brow bone.<\/span><\/div>\n
5. <\/span>Blend, Blend, Blend. <\/span><\/b>Start at the lash line and blend upwards. Essentially, the eyeliner “line” should disappear.<\/span><\/div>\n
6. <\/span>Apply a TON of <\/span>mascara<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/b> I always go with jet black. <\/span>This<\/span><\/a> is my absolute favorite mascara.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Talk about smoke and mirrors- if you are still afraid… there’s always <\/span>this<\/span><\/a>. No matter your technique- smoke it up, then grab your clutch, put on your embellished heels and hit the town!<\/span><\/div>\n
