Extreme Smokey Eye Tutorial

Maybe you'll never have a reason to wear an extreme black smoke eye. Maybe you'll do it anyway. Here's how I did mine:

You'll need: at least white, black, purple, grey, dark brown and beige shadow, black eyeliner, brushes and mascara.

Face and eyebrows done. Make sure you use eyeshadow base!

Add white shadow to highlight brow bone, a light matte grey on the inner corner.
Then cover the entire lid with purple shadow. 

Use a cream eyeliner above and below the eye.

Then use a brush to apply black shadow directly on top of the liner before it dries.

Add a very dark brown in the crease with a brush for more depth. 

Use a brush to add black shadow on the lid, in the crease, and underneath the eye. Lots of it.

I used two black MAC shadows. The mixed one added lots of sparkle. 

A nude lip is best with a heavy eye. I used Kate's nude for Target and MAC's Gaga gloss.

Add mascara. Done.

With most styles, I use a brush to clear away excess shadow. With this one, I use my finger to smudge the shadow around the outside corners. This is a look where smudging is good! If you have light colored eyes this will look completely different on you. You may want to wear false lashes. I decided not to this time though.
