One thing i did notice is that i should have spent more time on my lower lash line. I can barely see the e/s in the pic! Sorry the pics aren't the best quality

I think the "smokey eye look" is a great look for anyone! I actually even use it for daytime, just toned down a bit.

hey mrs livingstone!

Hi Sweetie! I LOVE your eyes! The liner looks so great. Like sexy "bambi" eyes, with those big brown eyes and almond shape. They look great. I look every week at "smokey eye Sunday and check out all the creative, beautiful ways people do their smokey eye. I LOVE smokey eyes, I have a HARD time NOT doing one. I just lighten it for daytime. But I just think it really makes your eyes pop and gives you a sexy, flirty "thang". I noticed guys ALWAYS check you out and look you RIGHT in the eyes, (like they can take their eyes off you) and stare at you with that "goofy" smile. HAHAHA! Girl power! During the day I use more nude or subdued lip too with a good gloss. You guys all inspire me to try new things, I do them in deep plum, blue tones, olive green with khaki and of course brown and charcoal. One of these days I will get brave like you and photograph it. I hope I can photograph it right!! You look gorgeous! Great job! I love to see all you brave, lovely ladies showing your stuff! Thanks for the pictures! For those who said they had a problem with the outer edge and getting it too far or uneven here is an EASY trick! Angle a business card or tissue from the outer corner of your eye to the end of your brow and hold it down against your skin while you put your color on. That way you won't get it down too far, then just take a brush or a sponge and soften the edge, smoothing it TOWARD the inner browbone and inner eye. That way it won't smear out on your temple. Just buff it down till it looks like you want it to and there you have a good shadow end. It also helps keep shadow from falling under your eye and messing up your work. Try it! Once you get the hang of it, it is so fast and easy you will love it! Hopefully I will figure out how to take a proper picture and get over my shyness and I can be on Smokey eye Sunday too! Great work!

I used MAC Beautymarked, shroom, green brown pigment, teal pigment. I am not sure what my fascination with greens are. I wear green eyeshadow a lot.

I LOVE green shadow too! I found out that an olivegreen (kind of a deep muted green) used with a light/med. green and even a kind of khaki (a tan green) looks awesome! Then you can add some of the light shimmer green as a highlight on the center of the lid. It looks so cool! If I can figure out how to do the camera thing I will post the colors on me. But for us "green freaks" it REALLY makes your eyes look deep and smokey! That green you have on looks like it would be a really cool liner color too. It looks like it would make your eyes sparkle! Ya gotta love the GREEN! Good job!

Go greens! Chermarie

Hey Sweet! I don't know if it is just a bunch of bull or not but an old makeup artist friend of mine told me that when I see some makeup that I like on someone in a magazine, turn the magazine upside down (I know, that is what I thought too!) and look at it that way. She said that when you see it upside down you don't see it as a face or a person anymore, you see how the colors blend in to eachother and where they are placed. It seemed to work! Go figure! So maybe if you see smokey eyes you like in a mag or a pic try to see exactly WHERE the color is placed and how it fades into the skin or other colors. Try to see where it is darker and how far the dark part goes on the eye. I know the magazine thing helped me. Maybe it will help you. Well, Good luck! I hope it works for you! Anyway, have fun trying!

I tried to find if I posted earlier or not??...sooo anyway...

I am so impressed

! Great work on those smoky eyes

!

 

[devinjhans]

Thank you! I'll try my best to remember b/c it's been a while. IIRC I applied woodwinked on the inner lid using the 239 brush. I then applied contrast on the other 2/3 of the lid using the 239 brush and swept it up into the crease using the 217 brush. I then applied carbon to the outer v using the 217 brush. I applied era to blend the crease color into the brow bone using the 217 brush. I applied woodwinked to the inner lower lashline using the 266 brush and used the 219 brush to apply contrast to the lower lashline. I lined with egraved powerpoint. Yes this is all MAC makeup. HTH!
