I have tried before and I look like a racoon? What are the best products to use and how do you apply them?How do you apply make-up so your eyes look smokey? Do you use both liner and eyeshadow?
I always put a white eyeshadow under my eyebrows, then grey on my eyelids. Afterwards I take a black eyeliner and I line my upper eyelids very thinly. I find if I make the line too thick, it looks very harsh and it makes my eyes look more ';puppyish'; instead of almond-shaped. Then I line the inner rims of my eyes with the black eyeliner. Aftewards I take black eyeshadow and either with an angled eyeliner brush or a wet cottonswab (Q-tip) I draw that triangle on the corner of my eyes. I fill it in with black eyeshadow and then put go over the black eyeliner with the eyeshadow to make it look more softer and the lines less harsh. I then take silver eyeliner and put some in the inner corners of my eyes to brighten them up. Then I finish with a lot of black mascara on both my top and bottom lashes. Remember when you do a smokey-eye look it is best to keep your lips a light colour - such as nude or light pink, or even just to use clear lipgloss. If you wear a dark or bright colour on your lips and smokey eyes, you will only look like a clown.How do you apply make-up so your eyes look smokey? Do you use both liner and eyeshadow?
Things You鈥檒l Need:
**Foundation
**Dark eye shadow
**Dark eye liner
**Eyebrow brush or toothbrush
**Tissue
Step1 Apply foundation to the entire face, including the eyelids and underneath the eyes.
Step2 Swipe a dark brown, black, charcoal or plum eye shadow to your lids using your fingers, starting at the lash line up to the crease. It's easier to smudge the shadow with your finger than maneuvering a shadow brush in such a small area.
Step3 Line the lash line with a dark shade of eyeliner. To make your eyes appear big and beautiful, start at the corner of your eye and stop about 戮 of the way across. Use your fingertip to smudge the line.
Step4
Curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler. Open the curler then clamp your eyelashes at the base of the lash. Hold for 10 to 30 seconds.
Step5
Apply 2 coats of mascara. Allow the mascara to dry in between applications. Finish with an extra swipe on the outer corner of each eye to make the outer lashes appear longer and your eyes bigger.
Step6
Comb your eyebrows. Using an eyebrow groomer or a toothbrush, comb the eyebrows up at the innermost corner then up and out along the thinner area.
****Tips %26amp; Warnings
Fold a tissue in half and hold it under your eye to prevent eye shadow from sprinkling below the eye and causing ';raccoon eyes.';
A smokey eye can be tricky and can be easily mistaken for looking racoon-ish. MY fav is MAC cosmetics. I find that my best make up looks can be accomplished through MAC but you use what is comfortable and familiar to you.
For me, my eyes are naturally brown so to do the ';smokey'; look it does not take much and if i do it too dark it closes up my eyes...here are the colours i use and how i use them...
I use 2 specific colours:
MAC: Shadowy Lady (matte), Shale (satin) %26amp; Phloof! (frost)
I start with the Phloof: this is a neutral and light colour and i put it all over the eyelid and the brow bone. I use this first as a base and work up the other colours. I use a large shadow brush for all over application.
With a stiff crease defining brush i start to lightly build up my dark colour Shadowy Lady. I put this mainly in the crease and work it out towards the brow bone. I layer it usually so that i can control how dark i have it. Also, if you start dark it is difficult to chage the look without taking everything off and starting from the beginning.
I then apply my last colour Shale all over the rest of the lid with a small shadow brush.
I go over with the shadowy lady again to define in the crease and i take a fluffy blending shadow brush to blend it evenly and softly out. I will touch up the brow bone with alittle Phloof! at the end.
Finally, I take a fine line eyeliner brush and apply the Shadowy Lady as a liner under and above my eye. This adds the dramatic look. If you feel you want to go even more dramatic line a dark blue or black eyeliner FIRST then set it wit the shadow liner. Use a pencil or shadow smudger if you want to and smudge softly to the outer corners of your eyes. Put on a black or soft black mascara, and if need be clean up any fallen shadow under your eye with powder foundation or fluff it off with a blush brush.
I hope this helps.
Try MAC makeup, use their black eyeshadow or I use graphite paint. It looks really cool and its really pretty. You can't go wrong with MAC. Its trendy and sophisticated. They also show how to apply eyeshadow to make smokey eyes on their website. Check it out
or you can go to any make up counter and they can help you pick out the right shades.
i personally use eye liner and eyeshadow to create the smokey look. the eyeshadow is what gives you the smokey look tho
if you go to sephora, they can show you what colors look best on your skin, how to apply it, and what products to use. :)
yeah u use a smokey pencil eye liner aand darker shades of shadow.....and smudge the liner into the shadow but not completely though..

Make up//////eyeshadow!?
what eyeshadow looks best on a biracial/mixed girl....?
THANKS%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;ALSO PLZ ANSWER MY OTHER QUESTIONS(:Make up//////eyeshadow!?
You're extremely lucky! As a general rule, people with darker skin tones can get away with pretty much any colour!! My personal faves for darker skins are black and very smoky (this will enhance the colour of your eyes, whatever they are!); gold, purple, green. To be honest, you can just go crazy with the colour! I would steer clear of anything too red-toned though as this can make your eyes look sore.
My best advice, as the above is all very generic, is to look through magazines for people with similar colouring to you (skin, hair and eyes) and see what looks best on them - you're pretty much guaranteed to look good too!
Good luck!Make up//////eyeshadow!?
it would help if you included your eye color.
um...
blue: tans, beiges, gold
green: brown, green
brown: purple, pink, plum
it depends on your eye color i would say
but anything by clinique really pops on any skin color
purple always looks really cute on people with brown eyes, but you have to make sure it isn't too light if your skin is darker. It can look a little bit over the top. Gold also looks so pretty! I would stay away from blues and whites and stuff like that though. Almay makes really great eye color combinations that you can buy at drug stores like CVS or Walgreens. Good luck!!
i have brown eyes and i find the best colors for eye shawdow are greens, and light purples. they really make your eye pop!!
but if u really want to make your eyes pop and look really pretty i would use the green eyeshawdow or even blues!!
Colors such as Honey Spice, Chocolate Kiss, and Navy Blue can help achieve this look. But that is just the start of it, you have to apply it correctly. For more application tips, visit this link:

What is the trick to repair a broken powder eyeshadow (or any powdered make-up)?
Standard Method:
* Soak the broken product in alcohol to make paste
* Smooth out with your finger wrapped in saran wrap, using only the tip, minimize contact. Paste will be dark.
At this point, you can simply allow to dry undisturbed for 2-3 days by air, or continue by doing the following:
* Bake in increments of 3 minutes in oven preheated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 degree centigrade). Be sure to stabilize the pan of product on some foil whilst baking. Do NOT use a heat-conductive platform such as a cookie sheet.
* Watching non-stop, do this until paste just begins to lighten, signaling evaporation of alcohol. Any shortcuts or leaving the product alone for even a few minutes could result in over-heating and alteration in color.
* When lightening begins, remove from oven and let sit undisturbed at room temperature for 2 days. The product will be a little lumpy, but recovered.
Method #2:
* Collect all the broken product onto a piece of paper.
* Create a funnel with the paper and then pour the powder back into the pan.
* Using plastic wrap and your index finger, push all the powder back into the pan with medium force. Keep on pushing until the powder is flat.
Method #3:
* Arrange all of the broken pieces back into the pot, and lay a tissue over the pieces.
* Take the end of a bottle (the old-style MAC hyper real bottle caps worked perfectly for MAC and similarly sized shadows) and press over the tissue with the bottle or bottle cap.
* Remove the tissue, and the product will be perfectly pressed back into the pot and the surface will be as smooth.
Adding Hatch Marks:
This should be done just as the product is still damp but NOT pasty from repair with alcohol (you should be able to press on it with your fingers).
* Get a piece of wax paper over your shadow and firmly press down all over the e/s making sure it is set firmly and the surface is an even as possible.
* If you see cracks, lightly spray with alcohol and press again using your finger or wax paper.
* Take an old pair of coarse jeans and turn them inside out. (Levi's work well, as do any other thick heavily textured material)
* Carefully take one of the inside out legs and put it over the surface and press firmly all over.
* Voila! You have the pretty hatch mark you lost in breakage. If the imprint is not showing as much as you want, spray with alcohol and press again or press harder.
Making Your Broken Product Into a Loose Powder:
Instead of trying to stuff the broken product into the pan, you can just make it all into loose powder.
* Get a small mortar and pestle (available from kitchen stores) and put all of the product into it, scraping out the unbroken remnants if desired.
* Grind product as finely as possible.
* Put the loose powder in a small tin or tub, and apply using a brush.

Make up/eyeshadow primer?
Can I use a makeup primer as an eyeshadow primer/base?
would it affect my skin negatively or is it going to work differently?
:SMake up/eyeshadow primer?
the two definitely work differently; makeup primers use an ingredient called dimethicone, which helps even the overall texture of your face by physically filling in pores or fine lines, and the powdery finish gives a good surface for cover-up to glide on easily and stay fresh-looking all day. shadow primers consist mainly of isododecane which has a stickier finish to it that shadows can attach themselves to which prevents fading.
if you used a makeup primer for your eyes, it wouldn't affect your skin negatively per s茅, but it definitely won't work as well in the least.Make up/eyeshadow primer?
yes u can use foundation as eyeshadow primer
no its not going to work ant differently
use exactly as you would use it on your face
I'm sure you can try it, but Urban Decay makes a great eyeshadow primer.

Where to find a liquid transformer make up (that turns eyeshadow into eyeliner).?
okay, does anybody know where to buy, and what brand of liquid transformer (type of liquid make up that when you dip your brush in it, then into any eyeshadow that will instantly transform it into an eyeliner). it was featured on an episode of what not to wear. kk thank you for your help.
p.s.
if you know the price, website, or store (if there and brands of it at target that is most convienent).Where to find a liquid transformer make up (that turns eyeshadow into eyeliner).?
these types of things are getting more common but i have found an awesome one! it's by cliche cosmetics and it turns any eyeshadow into WATERPROOF eyeliner! how awesome is that! here's the link!
it's only $9
their eye primer is amazing as well.. better than urban decay primer potion.Where to find a liquid transformer make up (that turns eyeshadow into eyeliner).?
you don't need to buy that.
what i do is get a new, clean paintbrush [or thin makeup brush] and i dip it in water to get it a little wet
and then i swirl it in eyeshadow and and it becomes eyeliner :D
They have it at Ulta, and probably Sephora (:
it's kinda expensive though, like twentyfive bucks?
Wow, I've never heard of anything like this, but if you just lick your brush before you put it into the eyeshadow powder, it can be used very efficiently as eyeliner. :)
well, idk what that brand was or anything
but bareminerals, or bare escentuals eye shadow does that and theres TONS of colors
Avon. I'm pretty sure they have a website. I'm always buying from their magazines...
There is one from ELF and it's only a dollar. It works pretty well.
i either just use water or visine [ sounds weird, i know, but it works really well ]
