You must first line your eyes with a kohl pencil both inner and outside rims. Be generous with the pencil. Squeeze your eyes hard a couple times, so that the kohl 'runs' a bit . Then use a q-tip or a smudging brush to smudge the area around the eyes.
Then apply a dark color of shadow up to the crease or a tiny bit higher (choose any dark colors. Blend also over the area you put the pencil on, and don't forget the are under the yes as well. Most people play with with greys or browns. I personally prefer plums, and lately dark blues).
Blend, blend, blend, and blend a little more... LOL Just as Lena said.
Finally put a light color on the brow bone, but keep it natural. Reapply the pencil on the inner rims if necessary.
Finally, a couple thick coats of mascara and you're ready!
I hope you understand my explanation...

Since I am lazy, and don't really like wearing makeup that much, I basically just apply black eyeliner around the inside and outside of my eyes...

You know, I nearly prefer navy to black, less harsh
Thank you SoJess...
I'm also into blues lately... China Blue from Nars with black makes this AWESOME smokey eyes look with black pencil. I also have dark brown eyes and myeyes look super light with it.
BTW, navy mascara gives eyes a special hue and makes them lighter as well.. I love Laura Mercier's mascara in navy and Definicils in navy blue for this.

i've been hearing good things about maroon or eggplant eyeliner and mascara for making blue eyes look good.
personally I use blackest black shadows and eyeliners to make my eyes smoky, but I was wondering how the redder colors would look...

MAC's Blu-Noir shadow is great for a less harsh-looking smoky eye. If you haven't tried it, it's a gorgeous blackish navy/purple. I love it

I've been using grey eyeliner and three shades of grey eyeshadow (though I usually only use the darkest one and smudge it with my fingers so that is is lighter around the edges. Because I'm a cheap punkass, I use J.A.N.E. eyeliner and mascara and NYC Colors eyeshadow from the drugstore. It works really well, actually, and I figured if it did look lousy (which it doesn't) I wouldn't be out too much. I use black mascara, but I have naturally very dark eyelashes and eyebrows, and would look eerie with a lighter shade. I have tried before!
I go a lot lighter on the under-eye eyeliner than is standard because I wear glasses which magnify my eyes a big, and I will look rather bug-eyed unless my eye-makeup is very subtle!

Need to go shoppppppppping
I like bobbi brown gel liner in navy or if you prefer a pencil, lancome le stylo waterproof in minuit. Both stay put very well until washed off. For navy shadow-the mac blu-noir or contrast. For mascara, try the navy in lancome definicils. What shade of light lipstick are you looking for?? I like the amplified creams from mac-they feel really good on.Originally posted by NANA@Jan 24th, 2004 - 8:08 am

[/b][/quote]Nana,
The best navy mascara is either Laura Mercier's or Definicils from Lancome in navy. As for the best navy blue pencil, you should try blooz from MAC (it's a blackish blue) and the best navy eyeshadow... Umm... It depends, but I'd say deep night from LM, navy from Bobbi Brown, Night Flight from Nars (but this one is glittery and therefore it might not be good for you) or Stroke of Midnight from MAC.
But Nana, you have to be careful with such a look because it makes your eyes look smaller and if there are wrinkles around your eyes, it can also make them look very tired.
