Check the final outcome
Now, it’s time to look over the whole eye and see what you think. Make sure everything is completely dry and that there aren’t any smudges. You might want to use a cotton ball and gently sweep the area. Don’t do this is if you are afraid of messing up your work and are perfectly happy with your results.
Encircle eye with lighter eyeshadow
Whichever lighter colored eye shadow you chose earlier, use the same to encircle your entire eye. Just don’t go too far under the eye or you will end up looking more like a raccoon! Blend this slowly and gradually in a circle until you are happy with the effect.
Add a lighter eyeshadow
Since the black has already been added, it’s time now to use a gray or brown eyeshadow for the eyelid. I prefer gray over the brown, but that’s just my personal choice. Choose whichever one you like and apply it by starting at the lash line and moving towards the crease of your eyelid. Keep going across the lid and stop once you’ve reached the area right under the eyebrow bone. When you close your eye, this effect will look somewhat like an oval.
Line your eyes and soften the liner
To get that perfect celebrity smokey eye look, line the entire eye with a black pencil. Try to get this line as close to your eyelashes as possible. In order to get it up into your lash line, use your fingertip and gently move it around on the eyelid and into the lash line. You can soften this effect with a cotton swab.
