  6. I am so glad to see someone else with brown eyes do the smokey eye look. It seems like everyone is blue eyed blond and the colors they use are just wrong on me. Thank you so much!

  7. Beautiful look!!! I have a question though. For some reason, every time I try to line my lower waterline, it makes me look totally weird! I think it is so stunning and I wish I could pull it off, but for some reason it just looks freaky on me. Is there some secret trick I am missing? I do it just like you show on the video... :(

    1. when you line the waterline, just asure that you also darken the outer lower corner of you eye as well so it won't make your eye look funny...I think I did do it in the video...lining the outer lower corner adds balance ;)

  12. Love your site and videos....thought might like to check out a new makeup company on Etsy called Pollen Cosmetics. It's new to Etsy, owner is Lindsey Garcia. She has researched her product for a year and looks very promising. You can find her on Facebook also under Pollen Cosmetics. Thank you, I don't think you will be disappointed.

  18. I had a question about lining the waterline...first of all thank you for all the wonderful comments!!! there is a trick to making sure your eyes don't look tiny when lining the waterline...I suggest lining the outer,lower part of your eye as well, this will make your eyes look bigger and more complete...I hope this is helpful =)

  19. I use E.L.F. primers and concealers, they are very inexpensive and do the job =)

    1. I used a mineral eyeshadow from eyeslipsface.com
      and an eyeshadow palette from Bhcosmetics.com
      you can also find E.L.F. or eyeslipsface at Target...Bh cosmetics however, is only sold online....I hope this helps =)

  48. The smokey eye look is still very popular and it looks fantastic when done correctly. If not done well, it can look like you have 2 black eyes, and no one wants that effect! The smokey eye is sexy and dramatic and alluring. There are many, many tutorials out there that provide step by step instructions on achieving the perfect smokey eye look.
