Q&A for How to Get Smokey Eyes With Makeup

Intensify an eyeshadow by wetting your brush a tiny bit first. This is a great way to get more range out of the colors you already own, and it will especially make sparkly eyeshadows pop.

You should use a dark brown, a nude and a white eyeshadow and make sure you blend it all well.

Take a pencil in whatever color you chose and make a thick line on your upper lash line. Smudge it on the lid with your finger and pat matching shadow on top of it, blending it out into the crease. Smudge out any harsh lines. Line your lashes with black pencil and you're done.

Nude lips go great with a smokey eye! Natural colors look amazing with every eye color.

I think winter colors usually suit browns, so focus on purples and greens.

Typically green is used to color correct redness, but a medium to heavy concealer usually works as well.

Nudes look awesome with hazel eyes.

The first thing that you need to do is put a light brown color on your eyelids. Then, add a white color on the inner corner of your eye. Next, choose a dark brown color on the outer part of the eye and add a white just below the eyebrow to really bring out the browns. You could also add some winged black eyeliner and a smooth black mascara to create the look you're looking for.

Blues and purples make brown eyes pop, and you can add in gold as a highlight to the purple and blue. You could also try a dark blue or purple eyeliner, or if wearing blue or purple eye shadow already, try a bronze or gold metallic eyeliner.

Make sure you use primer and setting spray! I use Urban Decay eyeshadow primer and I also use concealer. If you don't want to spend money for eyeshadow primer, then use concealer, put powder over it, use setting spray, and let it dry. Then apply your eyeshadow and then put more setting spray over that.

Almond brown and cream colors are always a good natural looking smoky eye look for green eyes.

Browns, blacks and purples. Look at the subtle tones in your eyes that you want to bring out and choose shades similar to those.

You could purchase eye protectors for this purpose; otherwise, the easiest way to get it off without smudging it onto your face is to take a large powder brush and using light, flicking motions, flick the powder off.

Brown, gold, bronze, orange and yellow/cream are meant to look really nice with blue eyes.

Colors that stand out well are blues and greens as eye shadows. Also, reds and oranges are beautiful colors on tan skin, too. If you can find a super-pigmented pink or coral, that would be reallycool.

You can use a dark green or a burgundy color to complement your eye color. You could also use black or brown. Try a few different colors to find the color you like best.

Use darker colors such as a burgundy or a dark gray. Start with darker colors on the lid then work out to lighter colors in the crease. Make sure to get that bottom lash line. Use colors that go well with both our skin tone and your eye color.

I recommend using either a gold or silver (depending on your eye color) metallic eyeliner pencil on your lower lash line. Black mascara can also help.

You can create a smokey eye potentially from any colors that are in your seasonal color palette but it's the darker ones that tend to look more smokey. For example, a dark blue-grey or denim blue for a summer, blended with lighter shades of the same color or powder pinks. Winters look great in charcoal grey or navy blended though to silver or white. Autumns look great in bronze blended through to gold, and for spring (be careful not to go too dark here), warm tan blended though to soft peach and cream.

For a pink dress, you can opt for a brown or bronzed smokey eye look. If you wish, you may even add a bit of pink as a base color for your eye makeup.

You can use light brown, light orange, yellow or dark purple!I t will pop your eyes.

Usually light brown goes with blue, it pops blue eyes out if you have really light eyes. You can do a smokey eye look!
