Apply a dark line at the base of your lashes. (Use liner, but other wise, wet your eyeshadow applicator and draw a line like that)





With a brush, dust on a black eyeshadow on the line. It should be softer than the liner. The shadow should not go beyond your lid.(The brush will naturally dust the shadow slightly above the line so as to give the ';vanishing affect';.





Apply a bone shadow on the brow to brighten it all up.Eyeshadow. blending?
Patience and Practice... A little goes a long way. I always start as close to the lash line as possible and blend blend blend upward and out ward.

How To Create Beautiful Smoky Cat Eyes


By Joanne Elliott





It is easier than you might think to create professional looking, 鈥榮ex kitten鈥? smoky eyes like Keira Knightley. This vampy look can be as subtle or dramatic as you wish. The tips below will create a more powerful look in black, but to achieve a more understated look simply select light grey, burgundy or dark khakis instead.


Remember, a lot depends on your skin tone and hair color - see blonde to brunette, so why not try a few different tones to see which suits you best?





Ingredients for powerfully sexy eye makeup:





* Black eyeliner - pencil. Ensure that it is sharp.


* Black eyeliner - brush. The thinner the liquid eyeliner is the better.


* Eye shadow brush. Thin stumpy bristles are best to maintain control.


* Dark eye shadow. Irridescent rather than flat matt (too hard), or shiny (too messy).


* Highlight shimmer for under the eyebrow. Avoid garish looking 鈥榟igh glitter鈥?


* A good eyebrow pencil. Try to select the most natural shade for you as possible.


* Eyelash curlers - see Jessica Alba.


* Black mascara. Obviously choose a quality brand to avoid clumping and 鈥榮pider eyes鈥?





Step-by-step instructions for smoky cat eyes like Keira Knightley:








Apply your foundation, under eye concealer and powder.


Using your black eyeliner pencil, start from the front corner of your eyelid. Draw a soft smudge line to the end of your lash line.


Use your eyeshadow brush to apply the dark eye shadow over the top of the smudged line for a soft smoky look. Ensure that the edges are neatly blended.


Then take the brush eyeliner and apply as close to your lashes as you can on the top lid only. Make the line as thick and pronounced as you wish, but make sure that the line is thickest at the outer corner, and thinner as you go inward.


Apply another smoky coat of eye shadow with the brush to blend the harsh edges.


Subtly blend your darker eye shadow up from your lashes to your eye crease. Then apply a shimmery highlight in white or cream under the outside corner of your eyebrow.


Use your eyebrow pencil to make your eyebrow curve more pronounced.


Curl your eyelashes, then apply thin coats of mascara, building the layers up gradually to avoid clumping.


Congratualations! You have achieved guaranteed show stopping impact! You go girl!

For smokey eyes try using blues and grays..


and smudge your eyeliner a little bit.
I like this look. When I was first trying to accomplish the look these sites helped me.
Smoky eyes have been a big style for quite awhile and there's no sign this particular trend is dying. Here we show you step-by-step instructions on how to get the perfect smoky eye.





The key to the perfect smoky eye is proper blending. You want to make sure colors are blended together flawlessly. Also, it's important to pair light base colors with rich dark colors. Nice mixes include: Soft gold base with deep purple on top, champagne base with bright blue %26amp; peach base with green hue.


Difficulty: Easy


Time Required: 5 minutes


Here's How:





1. Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base. I prefer to dab at bit of MAC's 'paint' on lids before shadow application. Or try Fresh Freshface Perfecting Eye Primer.





2. Apply eyeliner. If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. If your opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.





3. Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smokey eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner %26amp; the key is to 'smudge it'. You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.





4. Apply light base color Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone. I love Stila's whipped eye shadows $20. The moist 'mousse' consistency seems to stay on forever. My favorite colors are taupe %26amp; pearl.





5. Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base %26amp; eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line %26amp; blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.





6. Doublecheck your work Make sure eyes match %26amp; blend color with a Q-tip if need be.





7. Finish with several coats of volumizing mascara. Tried %26amp; true mascaras (featured in 'Elle' magazine's March 2006 issue) include DiorShow Mascara %26amp; L'Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Mascara. 'Elle's writer says they are the best volumnizers she's tried.





Tips:





1. Remember to keep lips nude. When applying strong makeup (like smoky eyes or red lips) put the focus on either eyes or lips, never both. (Think Angelina Jolie: She either plays up her huge eyes or her huge lips, never both. If she did, she'd look like a clown).


2. For a bit of fun, try a blue or purple mascara. It will make blue eyes 'pop.'


3. Liner doesn't have to come in pencil form. Makeup experts know eyeshadows make some of the best eyeliners. To do this take an eyeliner brush (available at Sephora, MAC or any dept store), wet it, then dab wet brush into the dark shadow. This allows for a deep, precise line. You can also use the dark shadows without wetting brush first. Either way, eyeliner is necessary for smoky eye.


4. This season go jewel-toned (blue is great for you blue-eyed girls) %26amp; keep your eyes smoky but stay away from dark browns %26amp; black %26amp; go for a deep purple, a gold-brown or any of the many vibrant colors in for 2006.
I find using a q-tip works the best-try using small, controlled swipes above the eye. Practice makes perfect.
