Smoky eyes are in fashion these days. Every girl wants sexy smoky eyes like those of Keira Knightly. This is not a difficult task to make your eyes smoky but obviously you need some practice before you really start on this. It’s no more than blending different eye shadows into one and creating a fascinatingly smoky effect.

Here are some tips of how to create smoky eyes.

• First all prepare your eyes for the smoky makeup. Apply the foundation and then use concealer to hide the dark line around the eyes. Do not rub the concealer; just pat it until it fades. Then apply powder.

• Use eye base so that the eye shadow stays longer and doesn’t accumulate on the crease line.

• Then apply black eye liner on both the upper and lower eyelids and smudge it with the finger tips.

• Again, with the eye shadow brush smudge the black liner. (Eye shadow must be of dark color like black, dark green, emerald or khaki green. For a different look you can also blend pink and black.) Work out in such a way that the eye shadow is lighter as is goes to the inner corner and darker and thicker as it moves to the outer corner. You can mix different shades to bring out new and sexy looks.

• Extend the eye shadow up to the crease line. Likewise smudge the lower lids’ liner too but it needs to be thinner in comparison to the upper one.

• Apply silver eye shadow from the eye ball to brow bone. Use it on the inner corner of the eye too.

• Now, compile the smoky eyes with nude lips. While choosing the lip color make sure that it is 2 shades brighter or darker than the skin color. (If the face color and lip color matches then you‘ll look lipless so choose a bit lighter or darker than your facial color.)
