A smoky eye is one of most requested looks for makeup artists. Here are some tips to make your’s a success for the holidays like Jenny’s.

A classic smoky look isn’t right for everyone. It works great for average and prominent eyes but not so great for deep-set. If you have deep-set eyes, focus on smoking out your lower lash line only. If you darken your lid or do a thick smudged liner on your top lash line, you will make your eyes look more deep set.

A classic smoky look is all about not doing defined lines and contours, it should be undefined, smoky lines.

After prepping eyes with primer/concealer, start by lining your eyes in a dark color like black, grey or brown. Now smudge. Go over that liner with an eyeshadow of the same color. Grab another eyeshadow that’s less dark and go up to the crease.

Basically you are layering colors from darkest to lightest, starting with the darkest at your lash line. You can also do this with your lower lashes and adjust it for as thick as you want. Thinner on lower lashes works best for day but the thicker and smudgier, the better for night.

The piece de la resistance is lining your waterline in black. It really pulls the look together. Use pencil if you wear contacts and gel if you don’t. The gel will end up making a black streak across your contacts if you use it.

I took a poll on which site I should do my blog on.  WordPress was the obvious choice thanks to some great feedback from friends on Facebook and Twitter.  I’m just trying to get acquainted with this site and learn what it has to offer.  There are so many options to make your blog supercalafrajalisticexpialadocious! I’m a little overwhelmed.  Hopefully my blog will look as great as the ones I admire one day soon!

I love the option to blog on my iPhone.  I will definitely take advantage of that while I’m spending countless hours at the airport and don’t feel like lugging my laptop.

So what can you expect to read from me? I love to talk about my life, dogs, organic gardening, vegetarian cooking, making the world a better place, equal rights, and  animal rights/rescue.  I love my butterfly garden, drinking champagne, and doing makeup!  I’ll definitely blog about my work as a makeup artist.  It will be like you are with me backstage and behind the scenes!

I love and appreciate the finer things in life but think the simple things are the most precious:)
