How to Create a Smokey Eye Video
This video features a step-by-step tutorial on creating a smokey look around the eye, hosted by professional make-up artist, Davee Troublefield. The eye is first lined using a light brown pencil. For a deeper line, the space between the eyelashes can be filled in. Once the eye has been lined, and a smokey look achieved, mascara can be applied to accent the look.
Step 1: Gather your Materials
Step 2: Line the Eye
Using the soft, brown eyeliner pencil, line the bottom of the eye, sweeping the eye from corner to corner being sure to sweep into the eyelashes. For a more dramatic look, look up before applying the eyeliner, and use the pencil to fill in the area between the eyelashes. Lining the eye with the soft brown will create a soft smokey look under the eye. Nearly any darker tone can be used in place of the brown, to create fun, striking looks that accentuate the eyes.http://www.eyestune.com/eye-makeup/eye-makeup.html
