Girls, your Smokey eyes looks so perfect. I was so convinced to post up a smokey eye of me today. But although I tried my best it comes out so horrible. I wiped it all off after the first try and tried it another time: but again so scary. It is so hard to make up a great smoky eye. I was following exactly the steps from Trishas tuturiol for the smokey eye but I made it so wrong! Little bit sad and disappointed about that. Now I am sitting here with my fizzling Want-to.be.smokey-eyes !

But I will not give up and try to learn from your turns!

Nice greets to all the girls who have done such a lovely job!!!!!

Hugs, Sabrina

I'm still trying to figure out the camera, only one picture seemed close to what it looks like in real life:

Here's what I used, top row of shadows:

Blitz and Glitz Fluidlines, usual eyelash primer and mascara. You can't see the fluidlines at all

Hi Sirvinya--Lovely! Your "smokey eye"face is absolutely enchanting; you look ethereal and sultry and beautiful, like some exquisite mermaid...I love it! The smokey makeup brings out the cat green in your eyes too...A few questions, from a total beginner--how do you smudge the liner, or do you?I always use my finger, and wind up looking like I just finished weeping!

Or do you just draw it in a certain way? Also, your pale mouth sets off your eyes perfectly--should lips always be neutral,with a smokey eye? (If so I've been walking around like a corpse occasionally, blood red lips and pallid skin AND dark eyes!

Also, how about a dark grey-violet for eyes, or just purple--could that still create the smokey eye look? Well, you don't have to answer all or any of this; I'm just going to try to copy your look though, to hopefully get better at it. Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi i love Paris--

You look wonderful! I love the grey against your beautiful tanned skin, the almost-frosted shade of pearl grey is perfect, the way it highlights all the pretty features of your face. Question: did you "smudge" your eyeliner at all; and if so, how? (I'm a beginner at the smokey eye; it's more like the eye caught on fire with me!I mean, it gets so bright red with irritation and too many products, it DOES actually turn bright red!

)Since you do it so professionally, any tips for those starting out?Thanks for showing us your photos!

Okay so i'm definetely not an expert. But i'm pretty sure that you can do a smokey eye look with just about any color as long as its dark enought... So i think purple or even a dark green could make a smokey eye look..

and as for the lipstick thing I don't think it necissarily matters, But I think its best to not go overboard with dark lips and dark eyes and just pick like one feature to have dark and then just use a pinkish color on the lips or something like that

just my opinion tho.

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

Hi Laura--I think your eyes look beauiful in these photos, like photos in a magazine showing the completed look of "smokey eye." There is an almost opalescent quality of blue under the grey tones, and it really makes your eyes look huge--I love that. Especially in the full face photo, you look so lovely and striking; your eyes just stand out so well! I am glad you included that last photo, to show the overall facial effect. I don't have any advice,I think you did a flawless job, down to your ale pink lips--so your lips re there, but they don't pull the strong eyes off balance. One question I have for all you girls: how do you smudge your eyeliner,and,if you don't, how do you get it to have that softer look here?I love what you did here!

Sincerely, SierraWren

good thing I tried this out BEFORE going out. I used a bit too much blush (the artdeco blush is really pigmented for being this cheap!!!) and I might do a nude lip instead of the pink instead tonight.

Do you guys think this is too much color for my innocent looking face??

Hi, First of all, I love these photos!I showed them to my husband,and he agrees with me,that you look very, very much like his sister, it is just eerie! She's Czech--like he is, of course--but lives just an hour from the borders of Austria...Anyway, the world sometimes can seem small, I guess. Back to the photos:I think you did a great job of balancing out the smoky eye with softer cheeks and lips--don't think you overdid the color at all. And you have such pretty, even features, and a nice warm shade of skin, my guess is you can wear lots of styles and colors. One question I'm asking everyone is, did you smudge your eyeliner and if so, how? Do you get that soft, lovely line? Well, thanks so much for sharing--Sierrawren
