Quick Steps to Smoky Eyes

  Quick Steps to those sultry Smoky Eyes 

Color tool kit:
 
Eye Shadow Angled Blender Brush
Eye Shadow Wet-Dry Blending Brush
Eye lining Pencil in Absolute Black
ShadowSense™ Eye Shadow; 2 colors of choice

  (I used Silver Violet and Ebony Essence) 

1.    Apply Vanilla concealer over eyelids blending to the brows. This will serve as a primer and also even out the skin tone.
2.    Apply eye liner Absolute Black pencil in a fine line along and close to upper and lower lashes.   
3.    Blend Silver Violet ShadowSense™ over entire lid to the brow using Angled Blender brush.
4.    Lightly apply Ebony Essence ShadowSense™ starting at the lashes and blend up into the crease.  Use the smaller Wet-Dry Blending brush to blend the violet and ebony into the crease and to the outer corner of eyes.
 

Other great ShadowSense™ color combinations to try are: 

            Pink Mauve and Ebony Essence
            Mulberry and Sandstone Pearl
            Candlelight and Moca Java

What I love about ShadowSense™ is that you can mix colors like an artist to achieve the intensity you desire.  This shadow is going to stay put even in hot, humid or cold weather and will not run down your cheeks or into your precious eyes.

One last tip, if you want a really intense look, line the inner rims of eyes close to lashes.  Remember to blend, blend, blend the shadows for a smoky eye. No matter what color your eyes are, you can have sexy smoky eyes because you are not limited to gray shadow, you can blend all the colors you want with ShadowSense™ eye shadows.
