Sultry, Smokey Eyes

Most people when they think of smokey eyes they know there's some sort of black eyeliner or shadow involved and that it's way too complex. Wrong! This look is so simple and I used all drugstore products.

• Use an eyeshadow primer (this is big since you're working on a look that you want to last all night). I used Fergie's Wet n Wild eyeshadow primer.
• Next lay down your base shadow. I used a dark blue from a Wet n Wild palette.
• Then add a pop of color (if you choose to). I chose a blue-green from the same palette. 
• Blend, blend, blend. Make sure you blend so there's no harsh lines because you want that "smoked" out look. So don't be afraid to take a brush and smudge out the shadows. 
• Then apply eyeliner. I used Fergies Wet n Wild gel liner and I winged out the liner at the corner (this is optional).
• Finally add 2-3 coats of mascara. It's best to use a volumizing and lengthening one. I used Maybelline's the Rocket Volume Mascara (non waterproof because it's not as dry as the waterproof)
• Lastly, this is totally unrelated to eyes but keep your lips nude or simple. The focus should be on your eyes. 

Presto! You now have achieved a smokey eye look. Feel free to experiment with colors. Smokey eye doesn't always have to be just blacks and grays. You can achieve any smokey eye look with any color. The idea is to have it smudged and "smoked" out. So go have some fun with different colors!
