Step 1) Prep your LID - By using a PRIMER this stopped those annoying creases that occur since our eyelids can get pretty oily. Try Urban Decay Potion Primer.

Step 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. draw a thick line in the middle of your eye. If you wish to try a different color just change the liner i reccomend a beautiful violet or blue hue, looks beautiful and really makes your eyes POP!

Step 3) SMUDGE - Smudge the color on the bottom and top lash gently so it doesn’t look to perfect.

Step 4) Apply light base color - the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. Try a cream shade for your base. Sweep a light and shimmery shaddow over the lids all the up to your browbone.
