Cherri Glaze Makeup : Smokey eye Tutorial

I have been asked numerous times to do a tutorial of a smokey eye. I decided to do a simple but effective brown smokey eye. It can be done in about 5 minutes once you get the hang of it.

Hope you find this helpful.

The Products I have used are Urban Decays Naked palette, Barry M jumbo eye crayon in black and Rimmels Scandaleyes blackest black mascara.

The brushes from left to right are a soft fully blending brush, flat eyeshadow brush, and a small stiff domed blending brush.

Apply your black eyeliner over your lid up to the socket. As you can see it doesn't need to be neat at all. Any black eyeliner will do.

Using your ring finger smudge the eyeliner up your lid, past the socket. The smudged liner was much darker in real life. However you can use as much or as little eyeliner as you choose.

Using a fluffy blending brush apply a shade close to your skin tone above the crease.
Blend from the inner eye to the outer edge.
This will help blend out the edges of the darker colour on the lid.

Apply a dark brown of your choice all over the lid using your flat shader brush. I used darkhorse from the naked palette. It is up to you how far past your crease (socket) you go.

Next using your domed blending brush, blend the edge of the shadow upward. You can sweep the brush back and forth over the edge gently moving upwards or I like to do small circular motions upward. I feel it blends the harsh edge out better. As said before feel free to blend up as far as you feel comfortable.
