I hear you girls! Everyone wants to know about the hottest trend in eye makeup how to apply smoky eye shadow. Your most basic needs for this look are a black and brown eyeliner, a black and brown eye shadow, a great mascara, and a smudge brush. For more choice and variety you can choose from a specially designed color palette like Pop Beauty Eye Class - Smokey Eyes Smokey Eyes.

1. Start by using your dark brown liner to shade in your upper and lower lashes. Do this by simply coloring your lash against your lid. You want some of that color to go through to the lids.
2. Then use your black liner on the outer corners of each eye-again color the lashes and the lid.
3. Take the brown pencil and draw a thin line along your upper eyelid.
4. Now take a good smudge brush, I like the Stila #28 Smudge Pot Brush, and spread that liner all over your upper lid.
5. Use a brown or bronze shadow to apply along the crease of your eyelids.
6. Use a black or very dark shade on the outer corner of your eyelids.
7. Finally, smudge a bit of black shadow under your lower lash line, add mascara, and you’re done.

This may seem like a lot of steps for eye makeup if you are usually used to applying a single color. But once you do it a couple of times, it really is easy to achieve a dramatic and sultry look. When it comes to eye makeup how to apply smoky eye shadow is a skill that every girl needs to have in her bag of tricks.
