Smoky eye makeup is irresistible on any female face, even if you aren’t blessed with naturally bright beautiful eyes.

The secret to getting the perfect smoky eye look is in blending. You have to make sure the colors that you choose blend together to create the perfect sexy look. First, you need to apply a base coat, or a primer, to keep the makeup from clumping up in the crease of your eye. Next you can apply eye liner, directly above the lashes or in the middle of your eye, or both. It’s best to use a black or a dark purple liner if you’re going for a traditional smoky look but there are many different color combination’s that you can try. To achieve this look you will also need to line your bottom lid with a lighter shade.
