Lol.

Yep I can do it.

I have a thread about it somewhere.

Though keep in mind that I did it at like 2 am, and totally rushed it.

I'm gunna have to redo it.

Ummmmmmmmmm black eyeliner is the key.

I am making no sense atm.

black eyeliner (i only use it on the top lid)
a dark charcoal eyeshadow for the part of the lid under the crease, sparkly is more fun
a medium silver color blended a bit in the middle of the crease
a paler color like beige for heading towards the brows...though i usually just use the charcoal and silver...
then mascara for the full effect.

that's how i do it.

Here you go.. I went through one of my newer pictures, taken outside (my eyes change from dark to light) so you could see better.

for smokey eyes like this-

Just thickly line your eye (both top and bottom) with black eyeliner, then line the top of your eyelid (above the top lashes) with a thick line of eyliner- then you can put whatever colour eyeshadow on, but for smokey- put on black and you can mix it with gray- and then blend (smudge) using an eyeshadow brush. Or your finger. Then put on some jet black mascara :)

Pretty simple :)

Eta- in the pic I'm wearing MAC blue eyeshadow, so really, you can do smokey with all sorts of shadows- just depends on how much eyeliner you put on.
