How do I wear that trend…soft smokey eye

The smokey eye has been popular for quite some time. It does add quite the sexy allure when your eyes are properly smoked. Typically it’s a look saved for a more high glam look when you’re going out on the town or to a formal event. With the spring makeup trends, it’s become something that can be worn in other situations. By making the smokey eye, soft, you can put it on during the day without it being overwhelming. This is great for us ladies that may be intimidated by the smokey eye thinking it’s too dramatic. Rather than doing the smokey eye with dark colors like plums, black and browns, make it softer by using grays, taupe and pinks. You can do it using the softer colors that are ideal for the warmer months. I’ve already posted an instructional video showing you how to do a smokey eye. Check out the post. It’s very helpful. I’ve done a smokey eye using it and it turned out nicely.

Smoke Those Eyes!

So to recap. Take a look at the video. Instead of using dark colors, use lighter softer colors and practice smoking your eye! I’d love to receive some pictures of successful soft smokey eyes. Please share!

Smoke those eyes!

I am going to a Halloween party this weekend and I’m going as a dark fairy.  Basically I’m wearing dark fairy wings and an all black outfit.  However, this particular Halloween party is of the sexy variety so my costume has to have sex appeal to it.  Well in addition to my dark, sexy outfit, I will also do some dramatic lashes and a smokey eye.  I’ve experimented with the smokey eye but I wanted to learn how to do it the proper way so I decided to put up a video for you as well.  Since this is the holiday season, more of us will be attending holiday events where dressing up will be a requirement.  One great way to dress up your face is by doing that famous smokey eye.  I found a cool video that shows you how do it with very little muss or fuss.  If you feel like you need additional help, shoot me a question and I will find the answer for you.  I like this video and I already feel like I know a bit more about doing a smokey eye.  Check it out.

I will post pictures of my costume and smokey eye after this weekend. Please, share your smokey eye pictures with me as well. I would love to see how your makeup turns out.
