Eye makeup help Please?

Okay, I want to try my eye makeup like this for Halloween: (maybe on normal days too. =P) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7omYxSqRj鈥?/a> stop on 4:32 (The girl has black hair with a little red.)





How do you do your makeup like this? Can someone make a tutorial or show me one that is similar? Thanks! (:Eye makeup help Please?
It's basically just black eyeshadow put on all over (both upper and lower lid). To get the gray/faded out look, you can either blend out the black eyeshadow or blend a little bit of white or silver into the shadow.


If you're having trouble with the eyeshadow staying on, try buying a primer like Urban Decay's Primer Potion (I highly recommend it).


After you finish with the eyeshadow, you can take a black eyeliner pencil or a kohl pencil and draw a thin line across the top of your upper lid (near the lashes) and one on the bottom lid (inside of your water line or near the lashes).


It's an easy look to achieve once you know what you're doing, so try playing around with it. If you have any trouble, try looking at this for help:

(Click on 'More Views' and click the picture of the three cards. Zoom in on the last one, called 'Classic Smoke')





I must warn you that you have to be careful with this look. Certain people with certain eyelid shapes can really achieve it without looking like a raccoon and it's very messy at times. Eye makeup help Please?
The best way is to get a good picture of what you want, then get a mirror and experiment until you get it looking the way you want.


That particular makeup was all black and off-white (rather dreary and not particularly cute, but Halloween is for looking weird anyway).


It doesn't take a lot of money - you don't need to buy expensive brands to get that look.
eyeliner is key! go under your eye and ontop of it surrounding it completely. also use black mascara and black eyeshadow.


also use white on your upper lid to contrast the black
