1. Prepare the eyelid.
The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free.
To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called "primer").
2. Apply eyeliner.
If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye.
If your opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.
3. Blend in color on bottom lashes
For color on the bottom (a key smoky eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner.
The key is to smudge it.
You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.
4. Apply light base color.
Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. Use a nice cream shade for your base.
Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone.
Try Stila's whipped eye shadows. The moist "mousse" consistency seems to stay on forever.
5. Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease.
Now that you have the base and eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line, blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.
6. Doublecheck your work
Make sure eyes match and blend color with a Q-tip if need be.
7. Finish with several coats of volumizing mascara.
