all that is Beautiful (counting_blue_cars3): Smokey and Dramatic Party Eyes!

Guess what? I'm writing a tutorial!

Yayyyyy! This one is going to be for a very dark and dramatic, smokey eye that I like to use for going out to parties, concerts, clubs and the like. Its easy to do, and I think it looks nice in that 'look at me!' sort of sultry, hot way. Before the tutorial even started, I just put my Smashbox Photo Finish primer all over my face and a thin coat of lip balm on my lips. I normally do my eyes first before the rest of my makeup, because I am very fallout prone lol. All of the shadows that I am using are from the Urban Decay Naked palette, but I'm sure that you can use whatever colors you have that are similar to get the same look!

Alrighty, so here we go!

Step 1 - Start of by prepping the eye by swiping a coat of Urban Decay Primer Potion over the entire lid. Next apply NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in "Milk" as a base for your shadow to cling to. (*You can also use a very light or white matte shadow if you don't have the NYX Pencil.) Blend it in, and now you're ready to begin applying your shadow.
Step 2 - Now apply "Half-Baked" from the Urban Decay Naked palette to the inside half of your lid. Try to use a light hand with it, as we don't want it to be to dark. If you don't have the Naked palette, you also can use any light goldish color (with the strong golden/yellow base) that you own.
Step 3 - Next apply the UD color "Smog" to the outer half of your lid. Lightly blend the two together where they meet in the middle. Swipe a bit of "Smog" across your lower lash line as well.
Step 4 - Put a small bit of the color "Dark Horse" (its the super dark, dark brown one with slight a shimmer.) in the farthest outer corner of your eye, then carefully drag the color up into your crease. You can go as light or as dark as you like with this step. Gently blend the color out so that there aren't any harsh lines where the colors meet. Feel free to use "Smog" again in order to help with the blending.
Step 5 - Highlight! Highlight! Highlight! Swipe a light color like "Virgin" across your brow bone for an instant brow-lift.
Step 6 - Time to line those eyes! Start off by grabbing your angled liner brush and dipping it into the color "Gunmetal" (a dark gray with a hint of a blueish tone.) and swiping it across the very inner corner of your lash line, don't extend past half way. Now meet it with "Creep" or any shimmery black shadow from the outer corner. Drag "Creep" halfway up into the top lash line as well.
Step 7 - Simply line your eyes with your favorite black eye liner (I used Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in "Zero" and Smashbox Gel liner in "Jet Set") and carefully smudge it out using more of "Creep". Finally hit with your favorite mascara, and even some fake lashes if you'd like. Spray your makeup with a setting spray to keep it looking fresh all day long -- I like to use Urban Decay All-Nighter. Finally, top it off with a light pink or nude lip, and viola! Your done, and looking party-fab!
