In the ten-plus years I’ve been using makeup, I’ve never been able to master the smokey eye. Actually, I’ll be honest, I’ve never really tried the smokey eye; it just seemed so difficult! Well, armed with a few tips from online makeup tutorials, I went out on a limb and tried a dark grey-black smokey eye for Chris’s company holiday party. I thought I did an okay job and so today, in an attempt to not only practice the smokey eye, but also to make use of some of the bazillions of eye-shadows I own, I thought I’d try out a green smokey eye.
I can’t decide if I like it, if I don’t like it, whether or not it’s too over the top. Survey says?
Open your eyes…
Smile!
Now, in all seriousness good fun:
Thoughts, concerns, frustrations, agitations, recommendations, acclamations?

For those interested, the products I used are as follows: M.A.C. Shroom eyeshadow (base), M.A.C. Surreal eyeshadow (light green), M.A.C. Green Smoke eyeshadow (medium green), M.A.C. Humid eyeshadow (dark green), M.A.C. Buried Treasure Powerpoint eyepencil (upper and lower lash-lines), M.A.C. Smolder Kohl eyeliner (upper and lower INNER lash-lines…yes, you have to touch the eyeliner to your eyeball for this one), and Maybelline Volum’ Express Turbo Boost mascara (in Very Black, what else?)
I like it! You have great dark eyes that help pull it off. (I look like an albino zombie when I try to do a smoky eye.)

One of my friends from way back in the day has made all this youtube videos, and one of her biggest hits is the smokey eye one… http://www.happiface.com/make-up-videos/sandys-basic-smokey-eye/ and it helps that Sean Paul is the background music!
Dude, I just look like I got punched in the face when I try to do the smokey eyes. Hmph. I blame my mom for hating makeup and thus never properly showing me how to put on makeup…
GORGEOUS! Will you come do my makeup? I don’t think I’ve applied eye shadow since maybe 1998 =)
