Wow, I didn't know if I could do it, but I did! A smoky (smokey) eye in 5 minutes! This video strictly focuses on the smoky eye, nothing on the rest of the face ...
What I used for this look:
- Sephora Brand Flashy Liner Waterproof 01 Flashy Black
or any black waterproof liner, this one is so soft and blendable and the staying power is amazing and only $8! Line Lower waterline and top lash line (get in-between lashes)
- Benefit Cosmetics Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner Strut or any cream to powder shadow in charcoal or black.
Apply to the lids and blend up over the crease with your brush or finger.
- MAC eyeshadow in Silver Ring or any other shimmery grey like Urban Decay Eyeshadow Gunmetal
. Apply to the crease blending it down onto the lid. Apply along the lower lash line under the black liner.
- Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow in Zero or any pure black shadow.
Apply along lash line and in the very center of the crease.
- Top with your fave mascara to and bottom, I used Lancome Oscillation.
Viola! Instant smokiness! If you have extra time, apply highlight at the inner corner and on your brow bone.
What are your fave smoky eye products and tips?

I love Love LOVE L-O-V-E the MAC khol power liners released with the Starflash collection!! they are soooooo soft and creamy....the smudge wonderfully for doing a quick smokey eye!!! Using Raven, Mystery, or Orpheus is a nice way of jazzing it up because they have a beautiful duo-chrome pearl finish!!

Cool, thanks B - are they waterproof? Do they last a while on your waterline? I heart duo-chrome!!! :)

i don't think they are waterproof but i use MAC liquidlast liner under it if i'm going out so i can make sure that it stays looking beautiful........my eyeliner doesnt tend to budge so i'm probably not the best jugde of the lastability (you love how i just made that word up!)but they work really work well for the smokey look because their so creamy......even if you olny try one plese get Mystery......gorgeous smokey teal!!!
