My Smokey Eye!!! the cat's out of the bag folks!

it's no secret that i LOVE smokey eyes! (classic smoke as well as jersey smoke) the classic smokey eye is seriously one of my absolute favorite go-to looks. especially for work! keeping it dazzling can be a slight challenge on some days, so it's best to have a great go-to for the days that u can't get ur brain to come up with some razzle, but u still wanna dazzle. sometimes a winged liner, some lashes and a bold lip are all u need to kill the game... but when u wanna go further and u need those eyes to blast off like the fuckin space shuttle smokey eyes r the way to go. i know, i know, i said all this in a previous blog: "When In Doubt Smoke it Out" http://dailyrazzle-dazzle.blogspot.com/2012/09/when-in-doubt-smoke-it-out.html
but it's all just so very true!
so any ways... keeping in my great mood of wanting to post some step-by-step tutorials and also feeling like everyone can use a little recipe from time to time, i decided to guide u thru my favorite smokey eye! u can use any colors with these steps and achieve... magic! here we go.....

use a short-haird smudge brush to build up ur darkest color
on ur lid up to the crease and along the lower lash line and
out to create whatever shape u like (round, cat... extreme cat)

give a heavy sweep of color along the top or the darker color
from corner to corner...

blend downward and then back up to expand the color
to slightly above the crease...

don't forget about the lower lash line... u want the top to
match the bottom...

take a matte neutral shade (again, like beige) and blend
downward from the brow bone to the color (in tis case green)
don't get to blend happy. u just want to soften the line, the
color should remain concentrated on the lid....

define ur brows with a pencil or shadow (i used a pencil here,
but for the most part i use a shadow) then apply ur favorite
lashes. there's really no need to use liner, but u can if u wanna
go hard in the paint (literally)

just a side view of it all...

and now i'm a happy camper! hahahaha! i'm keeping my lips
neutral with a gold shimmer gloss (MK NouriShine in Beach
Bronze) 

And there u have it folks!!! this is how i smoke my eyes out! i rarely start with anything other than black, but i have subbed the black out for a deep purple or blue. but the green? i've subbed that for red, blue, pink, purple, gold, brown... whatever works! so... get to it! hope this helps some folks and if not... book me! lol ;-)
