How to Create a Smokey Black & Gold Eye Makeup

Hi everyone , I thought I'd share with you how I do my smokey eye makeup . This look is perfect for that Xmas party, it will definitely add glamour to any do . I'll give you a step by step guide on how to create this look, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

Step 1: Prime your eyes, you can either do this with a primer or even use your foundation or concealer.

Step 2: For a good base, blend black gel liner over 2/3 of  your lid , (try not to go over your inner corners with the gel), winging it out slightly at the outer corners. Take the gel upto the crease and blend it out with a blending brush.

Step 3 : Apply a matte black eyeshadow over the base you have just applied this will intensify the black,     blend it out above the crease. 

Step 4: Apply a gold, glittery eyeshadow to the inner part of the eyelids, blending well into the black shade to create a sexy, smokey effect. I also blended the black and gold with a smokey bronze, this adds warmth to the look.  

Step 6 : Line the top of the lid with the black gel liner, winging it out slightly. 

Step 7 : Run some black eyeliner accross the bottom lash line and brush abit of  black eyeshadow over it .

Step 8: Line your waterlines top and bottom with black eyeliner. 

Step 9: Highlight the tear duct with the gold eyeshadow , this will open up the eye . 

Step 10: Brush on some mascara and to complete the look add some lashes !

I hope this guide will help you rock the smokey eye look!
