It seems like it's just about impossible to avoid the "smokey eye" these days.  It's the perfect evening eye look for just about every occasion and, if done correctly, looks stunning ANY time of day!

FIRST, I'm going to give you 3 big "no no's" of this look.

Things to avoid with Smokey Eyes:
1) Not blending.  Always, always blend so that the deep color blends with the lighter color which THEN blends with your skin.  This gives it an air of romance and not of harshness (you know what I'm talking about!)
2) Using all one dark eye color shade.  Make sure to use a a lighter shade and blend the deeper shade over time.  Plain black eyelids can make you look tired and even a little scary!
3) Taking the deep color all the way to your brow line.  Blend the color into your crease and no higher!  This keeps the dimension and sophistication

How to pull it off flawlessly!:

Luba swept Charm eye colour from lash line to brow bone.  She then blended Steel from lash line into the crease and also along the lower lash line.  She repeated step 2 and applied Eclipse over Steel for a moden effect.  She added some more drama by lining her upper lash line with Steel as well.  Her brow bone and inner eye were highlighted with Starry Night.  Her lashes were coated in Total Mascara.  To complete the look, her cheeks were swept with Pink Passion cheek colour and her lips got a sweep of Subdued Lip Color and glossed with Fall Trend's Soft Pink Lip Gloss.

Sanaz definitely has a Smokey Eye done right!  It accentuates her already gorgeous eyes without being TOO much.
