Smoky eyes has a new twist this year, a fourth color was added! Add a little sparkle by adding a icy shade to the inside of the corner of your eyes.

Eyeshadow, when applied properly, can enhance, or even change, the shape of the eye. By applying dark eyeshadow you can create depth and add drama for an amazing evening look. By using the following techniques, you can apply dark eyeshadow with ease and avoid looking like a serious fashion “don’t”.
Before beginning, you will need the following supplies:
~ The makeup basics: foundation, concealer, eye brightener, highlighting powder and mascara and Magic Lash
~Your favorite brand of black eyeliner (opt for the pencil, not liquid)
~An angled eyeshadow brush
~Dark eyeshadow of your choice
~Light and shimmery eyeshadow
To begin, you will need to apply your foundation, concealer, eye brightener, highlighting powdered and your other makeup basics before applying your eyeliner and eyeshadow. Usually, eyeliner is applied after applying eyeshadow, if you want to create a smoky look, start with the black eyeliner before adding eyeshadow. Create a line that starts at the outer corner of your eyelid and work towards the end of your lashes. Make sure to work as near to the lash line as possible.
Next, you will need to use an angled eyeshadow brush to apply your dark eyeshadow, apply it directly over the eyeliner and gently work it in with the brush to smudge the eyeliner. Ensure that the edges and the entire length of the line is well blended.
After applying the eyeshadow, blend gradually up your eyelid to the crease and work the powder into your skin. After blending, apply a light white or cream shimmery eyeshadow above the crease up towards the eyebrows. By adding a light and shimmery eyeshadow, you will make your eyes pop.
Apply your eyeliner once again. This time start at the outer corner of the lid, starting just beyond and above the inner corner of the eye. Then apply eyeliner to the bottom lid as well and smudge the lower line as well.
Complete your look by adding curling your eyelashes and applying mascara with Magic Lash to really make your whole look really stand out.
Beautiful Eye Makeup
Your eyes are one of your biggest assets. It is said that a person’s soul can be seen from their eyes and yours are no exception! Here are some quick and easy tips to help you make your eyes more seductive.
1. Start with concealer: this will get rid of dark circles and shadows under your eyes. Always pat never rub concealer into your skin.
2. Apply eye base: this will stop eye make up from getting caught in the creases of your eye. It will also help to keep your make up to look fresh for a long time.
3. Eye shadow: This is where the fun begins. To make your eyes look wonderful use a 3 tone effect like the pros.
a. Initially use a light color from lid to brow bone
b. Secondly use a slightly darker shade on your lid
c. Use the darkest color in the crease of your lid.
d. Blend them well.
4. Apply eyeliner: You can use a darker shade of eye shadow for a beautiful effect. Just wet a brush that is slanted and apply the eye shadow. Put it as close to your eye lash line as you can. For the bottom of your eyes only make the line from the middle to the outer edge, and then smudge it with your finger or a cotton bud.
5. Make your eyes stand out: with highlighter, create a v shaped design from top to bottom of the inner corner of your eye blend in. Use gold or pink for this as white will be too bold.
6. Highlight your brows: You can use the same shade of highlighter to use on your brow bone. Apply from the middle to the outside and blend.
7. Last of all apply your mascara. You can create a warmer look with a brown color instead of black. Don’t forget your Magic Lash!
These steps do not take long and will make you stand out in the crowd. For added effect if you have long lashes you can curl them.
Always match your eye shadow with your eyes and of course the clothes you are wearing. Remember to blend everything well. Subtlety equals seductive. You can also be part of the trend and give your eyes the “smoky look.” Check out this article: How to Create Sultry Smoky Eyes
Correcting your eyes:
• Close together: emphasize the outer corner of the eye. This will give the illusion of your eyes being further apart.
• Too far apart: draw attention to the inner corner of the eyes:
• Too small: use lighter shades to make eyes bigger and use a darker shade on the crease and outer edge of the eye. When applying eyeliner to the upper lid taper it at the outward corner to make the eye longer.
• Drooping eyes: Do not use eyeliner just use some eye shadow on the outer corner of your eye. Apply the color upwards and outwards. Highlight your brows. Concentrate mascara in the inner corner of your eye. You can also use a silver color on the inner corner of the eye.

Every one of us looks at someone else and we all secretly want to look like them. They may have longer hair, longer legs, less around the middle, blue eyes against our brown eyes, blond hair against our black hair, I am sure you get the picture.
Instead of being happy with who we are – we want to look like someone else. There are women who take it too far – they have had so much cosmetic surgery, so nipped and tucked to the point you’re not sure any of the real body is still there! Here they are parading around like they much think they look great! Look close,
you will be able to see the scars that no cosmetic surgeon is going to be able to hide.
But are you really sure they are truly happy? Having any type of cosmetic surgery is a major deal and so very hard on your body. It’s not something you take lightly. You have got to do your research
just to be sure you will not get a doctor that will ruin your looks instead of improve them!
Have you ever thought they might be trying to hide from themselves and from the world? How do you know they don’t feel if they hadn’t had all this work done, that their lover/boyfriend/husband would not of stop loving them? In sometime in our life’s we will here about or may already heard about someone getting work done, and it ruins their life! You do not have to be famous to mess up. Anything you have done from shots to tummy tucks to face lifts, it is still a type of cosmetic surgery and just bad for your body all the
way around.
I have a short story for you.
I know someone who had work done. She had her chest enlarged 3 inches and her tummy tucked. You want to know the first words coming from her boyfriend’s mouth after she had all this work done?
“I’m leaving you, you’re too old for Me.”, Out of the mouth of a very ungrateful man. After she had gone under the knife, gone through pain just to please her boyfriend!
How would you feel, if after having some type of cosmetic surgery, the reason you did it was not yours but to please someone else, and then be told you’re too old? Its like all of a such you’re not good
enough for him. Doesn’t make it worth it, does it? When was the last time you looked into the mirror thinking I need to do something about such and such,(fill in the blank) and then I will look better! Or is it really feel better about myself? Those are tough questions.
How about this, instead of going under with a knife, why not drop the fork, go to the gym, and try wearing your hair in a different style? These are simple things that will in the end make you feel better
about you. Why not decide that you are going to try to learn to love that part of you that you feel needs to be fixed? Instead of thinking that having cosmetic surgery is going to bring him back or make him
love you more. If you don’t care about yourself, then no one can care about you.
I read a very interesting quote that goes perfect.
“Getting angry with yourself can be a good thing.” by Sylvester Stallone of all people!
He is reinventing himself at almost 50??? So why not try something today that changes your outlook on life? If nothing else why not talk to your doctor and get a good self-help book?
If you need to go through with cosmetic surgery for reasons you can not change, such as after having a child, then having surgery to save your life. Or even better, because you are going to help save someone’s life such as giving your kidney for a kidney transplant to save one of your family members. Not because you think that if you have cosmetic surgery, he will love you more as if have your face lifted is going to keep you younger? Giving a part of you that saved that family member to be around longer is so much better
than doing any try of cosmetic surgery because the latest craze. It hasn’t saved Joan Rivers, so I will leave you with this thought, why do you think it will save you?
