Revlon CustomEyes Shadow & Liner
Monday, June 27th, 2011
The smoky eye look doesn’t always have to be gray and black eyeshadow. With Revlon’s CustomEyes Shadow & Liner palette in Smoky Sexy, you can get a smoky look with blues and grays. This palette has four eyeshadows and a fifth color that you can use as eyeliner. We really liked the bright take on smoky eyes for the summer. However, since these are vibrant blue hues, it will look more tame if you take the pointed end of the applicator and use the black shade to frame the eye. These shadows are not highly pigmented, so if you’re looking for more oomph try dampening the sponge applicator that comes with the set before applying your eyeshadow.

Maybelline Expert Wear Eye Shadow Quad
Monday, October 4th, 2010
There is a reason why ‘how to do a smoky eye’ articles are published almost every month in fashion magazines. It’s really not an easy look to do. Maybelline took the guess work out of the smoky eye look with a quad (200 smokes) of easily blendable shadows that are marked with where you put the colors. Our biggest problem with inexpensive shadows is that the color goes on unevenly, making your eye look more so injured than smoky. However, what we loved the most was the quality of these shadows, even the darkest color went on evenly and blended well. With this we were able to achieve model worthy eye shadow looks in no time!

WetnWild Megaeyes Crème Eyeliner
Monday, October 19th, 2009
When are smoky eyes NOT in? WetnWild Megaeyes Crème Eyeliner is great for creating dramatic eyes. The creamy formula goes on smoothly and blends well, and really stays put once it dries. It also comes with a brush, which helps even the eyeliner challenged to make neat lines. You can use this formula as an eyeshadow as well, but we suggest this only if you like high intensity color.

Black Radiance Starry Eyes Shadow Stick
Thursday, October 1st, 2009
Smoky eye makeup is a look that has never gone out of style. In the pages of fashion magazines it often looks easy, but then when you use your own eyeshadow it seems like more of a gray color than black. With most shades, you have to layer or dampen your applicator to get a true black. We have found the real deal when it comes to black eyeshadow. Black Radiance Starry Eyes Shadow Stick in Jet Black gives intense color with one swipe.
This eyeshadow stick goes on smoothly, and thankfully for those of us who are clumsy, blends well. We wore this eyeshadow all day without seeing any creases or signs of fading. Best of all, you don’t have to use the old trick of putting a tissue under the eye to catch stray eyeshadow when applying. The stick has no crumble factor.
To create a smoky eye, hold the stick as close to your upper lash line as possible and draw short strokes from the outer lashes inward, stopping just short of the inner corner. Line your bottom lashes and smudge. Take a lighter, less intense shade, and blend the black from your crease to your brow bone. Then add some high volume mascara. Voila!
