Stila Smoky Eye Palette Original

Get smoky eyes with these 8 simple tips and tricks:

1. First dab your concealer under your eyes.
2. Line the top lashes with liquid eyeliner as close as possible to the lash line. Line the bottom lashes with a pencil, as close to the lash line as possible.
3. Begin applying a matte black base on the inner portion of your lid. You want to pull the color upwards and outwards to begin covering the lower part of your lid. The matte base should be in the form, shape of your natural eye.
4. Next take a light silver or gray eyeshadow and blend from the top lash line up to the brow bone. The color should be applied lightly.
5. Brush a mid-toned gray from your lash line to just above your eye crease and blend upwards. Keep your brush at this angle as you apply the eyeshadow to the outer edge of the base.  To help soften some of the line, gently swish your brush back and forth over the outer edge.
6. Apply a dark gray eyeshadow over your eyelids, blending any hard edges. Gently swish the brush along the curve of the outermost edge of the gray shadow, making sure you avoid the crease.



7. Apply the dark gray eyeshadow against your outer lower lash line. Gently place the brush against the outermost portion of your lower lash line and then gently move it towards the inside of your lash line, make certain that you stop one third to one half of the way to create a soft line below your lower lashes.
8. Finish with two coats of mascara and you are finished.
