Almost every page of today’s magazines has a picture of a beautiful model or a celebrity sporting – the Smoky Eye Look. So, if you feel you are ready to join this fabulous team, here are the steps.
GETTING YOUR EYES READY
Begin by applying a light shade of concealer to the under eye area, and all over the top lid. This prepares your eyes for the eye shadow that you are going to apply.

USING THE LINER
First, line both the top and bottom rims with an eye pencil, paying close attention to going into the lash line itself.If you have small eyes apply liner starting from the middle of the under eye to the outside of the eye. If your eyes are large feel free to line from corner to corner.Hint: If you are using liquid liner you can place dots on the lash line and then follow the dots to get a perfectly straight line.

Hint: Want your eyes to look larger – Pull your liner upward when lining your bottom lashes instead of out from the top liner! This will make your eyes look larger and rounder!
