Do:

1. You can use any color to create a smokey eye look.  Just make sure they are in the same color family…cool or warm tones.
2. Use the right tools.  Brushes are everything with a smokey eye.  I recommend using a larger brush for your all over eye-shadow, then a medium lay-down for the lid, and a smaller tapered brush for the crease.
3. Blend!  Blend your shadows so that you can not see a distinct stop and start of one color to the next.  The colors should gradually mix with one another.

Don’t:

1. Do not use extreme colors opposite of each other on the color wheel.  Most of the time, it will look too harsh.
2. Do not pile on the mixture of colors with all one brush…it tends to look muddy.
3. Do not forget to blend…This will differentiate you from looking like you know what you are doing to potentially looking like a raccoon.

DON’T…too harsh
