Enhancing Your Black Smokey Eyes With The Rest Of Your Makeup. Learn The Six Steps

Jennifer Lopez is definitely my smokey eyes hero

. She wears it so well. Dark smokey eyes make her eyes so rich and defined. And her overall appearance is always healthy and natural-looking. How does she do it? Apart for being very attractive and having great skin, she totally understands the importance of making up her face correctly. There are several do's that make black smokey eyes look great: getting the shape right, blending, controling how intense it is. And you can master these tricks in my ebook about smoky eyes . But face: this is where it all comes together.

I will show you six key steps that will help create a perfect and sculpted canvass for your dark eye makeup. In short they are: conceal under your eyes, apply foundation, bronze, blush, highlight and blot.

By applying an under eye concealer you can create a flattering contrast to the darkness of your smokey eye. Additionally, it lifts the eye and makes you look more awake. And it can also take care of the black under-eye circles. Just look at some photos of Kim Kardashian: this woman knows how to use this great cosmetic. If you want your under eye concealer to serve you as well as her follow these three rules. Dab on only a little bit and than pat it on with your fingertips. Blend well to avoid having white patches under your eyes. Choose a shade or two fairer than your foundation.

When wearing smokey eyes it's best to wear foundation. Dark eye makeup, when combined with a totally natural face, might look too harsh and out of place. Whatever product you choose: foundation, tinted moisturizer, powder foundation, make sure it matches your skin as perfectly as possible. Not only would it look more natural but also you would be able to cover only where needed, like the areas around the nose and mouth. Then powder your face to set the foundation.

The modern way to use bronzer is to sculpt your face for definition and a healthy glow. That's why it should not be too dark nor too shimmery. A sheer and rather matte formula would be perfect. When applying, think of two 3s facing each other and encompassing your face. Do your hairline, continue under the cheekbone, then below the chin. As with all cosmetics: harsh edges need to be avoided. Bronzer should be felt not seen.

Although these days bronzer sometimes substitutes blush, I always apply both: blush on top of bronzer. A touch of color is welcome when doing dark eyes. As a rule of thumb, blush goes a bit higher than bronzer. It should not be too harsh or too dark: just a wash of colour is the desired effect.

After creating the base, defining and adding color, it is time to highlight. Highlighter (sometimes called illuminizer) is a relatively new type of a cosmetic that is all the rage now. It can come in cream, gel or powder. As the name suggests its task is to highlight certain areas. Although there are many great ways to use it I will focus here on enhancing smokey eyes. Highlight the very top of the cheekbone just above where you put blush, towards the temple. Some makeup artists advise to take it further onto the temple itself: I do and it looks great. Also highlight your brow bone. Another great trick is to dab some highlighter in the inner corner of your eye. It refreshes and enlarges the eye.

No smokey eye benefits from a shiny face. As highlighter provides just enough selective shimmer, other places should stay matte. While powdering your face every now and then is super, doing it often throughout the day or night might be just too much powder. So it's best to fight the sheen with something else: a genius product called blotting papers. They absorb oiliness and don't add anything onto your face: I recommend the plain, un-powdered ones. Heidi Klum always blots with them before getting out of her limo - and see how fab she looks on the red carpet photographs?

To look your best in black smokey eyes never forget about your face. I am sure that by following the six steps above you will get the subtle glow and definition which work perfectly with dark eyes. Look sultry. Look lovely.
