Creating a sexy smoky look when applying eyeshadow is a great way to add a bit of mystery and allure to your look. Choose a darker eyeshadow such as a chocolate brown, charcoal or bronze. Tools you will need are a flat eyeliner brush and a cotton swab.

Begin the process by applying a nude eyeshadow over your entire lid. This will put your makeup in place, so that you don’t get any smudges or creases. Dip the edge of your eyeliner brush into the dark eyeshadow. Tap off the excess powder.

Gently, press the tip of the liner brush into the base of your upper lashes. Repeat again along the length of your eyelashes. Add more shadow if needed.

With the cotton swab, gently smudge the liner upwards as if to blend it with the neutral shadow. Finish off by applying two thick coats of black mascara to your top and bottom lashes. Viola!
