ITS NOT SO MUCH EYE SHADOW THAT GIVES THAT EFFECT BUT RATHER EYE LINER AND ITS KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN BUT I'LL TRY. YOU USE WHATEVER SHADOW YOU WANT...THEN WITH A BROWN EYELINER (I RECOMMEND ALEXIS VOGEL THICK EYE PENCIL) YOU START WITH THE INNER CORNER OF THE UPPER LID AND LIGHTLY DRAW A LINE ALL THE WAY OUT TO ABOUT 1/8'; PAST THE OUTER CORNER MOVING UPWARD SLIGHTLY. AS THIS LINE IS DRAWN IT GETS THICKER AND THICKER AND THEN YOU FILL IT ALL IT....BUT LIGHTLY. THEN TAKE A QTIP AND SMUDGE IT A LITTLE TO SOFTEN. IT MIGHT TAKE SOME PRACTICE BUT ITS WORTH IT. USE THIS TECHNIQUE FOR EVENING ONLY. ITS A LITTLE MUCH FOR DAYTIME. TRY WWW,ALEXISVOGEL.COM FOR MORE HINTS. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT RIGHT BUT HOPEFULLY. GOOD LUCK.


GREENS WITH BROWN EYES.....WONDERFUL.....OLIVE FOR EVENING AND A LIGHT MINT FOR DAYTIME. NEXT SEASON MIGHT BE DIFFERENT AS FAR AS WHATS ';NEW'; BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO PAY A WHOLE LOT OF ATTENTION TO THAT. I WEAR WHAT LOOKS GOOD NOT WHAT'S ';NEW';. DON'T TAKE ME WRONG......I WATCH VERY CLOSELY TO ANY NEW IDEAS BUT I DECIDE!!!
you can use brown eyeliner and an emerald green might be best , for the cat-eyes it is easier to apply it with a liquid eyeliner, but if you don't want to use a thin brush and don't use a dry shadow
You can use almost any colors. Emerald green would be gorgeous with your eyes. I recommend Clinique's Jaded eyeshadow duo. Here's what you do using an eyeshadow duo: take the light shade and apply it to your entire eyelid, up to the brow or at least higher than the crease. Then, take the darker shade and apply it from your lash line up to the crease of your eyelid. Using a q-tip or eyeshadow applicator, line the upper and lower lashline with the darker shade and blend it out and up very slightly. You can also use eyeliner to achieve this part. Top it all off with lots of masara, focusing on the outer lashes and you are set!





Hope this helps!!








Oh, and a dark brown or grey eyeliner works great for this as well as black. Dark green would be pretty too.

thats where i go
Get the felt triangle from Alexis Vogel use black or dark eyeshadow and fill in the outer bottom edge then drag it up into the crease on the top
The key to the perfect smoky eye is proper blending. You want to make sure colors are blended together flawlessly. Also, it's important to pair light base colors with rich dark colors. Nice mixes include: Soft gold base with deep purple on top, champagne base with bright blue %26amp; peach base with green hue.





Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base. I prefer to dab at bit of MAC's 'paint' on lids before shadow application. Or try Fresh Freshface Perfecting Eye Primer.


Apply eyeliner. If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. If your opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.





Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smokey eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner %26amp; the key is to 'smudge it'. You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.





Apply light base color Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone. I love Stila's whipped eye shadows $20. The moist 'mousse' consistency seems to stay on forever. My favorite colors are taupe %26amp; pearl.





Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base %26amp; eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line %26amp; blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.





Doublecheck your work Make sure eyes match %26amp; blend color with a Q-tip if need be.





Finish with several coats of volumnizing mascara. Tried %26amp; true mascaras (featured in 'Elle' magazine's March 2006 issue) include DiorShow Mascara %26amp; L'Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Mascara. 'Elle's writer says they are the best volumnizers she's tried.

and look at Makeup Lessons.





Get his book ';Making Faces'; from the library or Amazon. It is very good
this is the best way to try it and see how much of a cat eye you want:





buy an angled, thin brush for brows, like m.a.c #266. after applying your shadow (or not if you just want the liner winged out) use a gel liner like m.a.c fluidline or bobby brown gel liner. they are easier to control than a liquid and stay better because both brands are waterproof. apply a small amunt to the brush and keep the liner close to your lashline to start, building to your desired thickness. then, once you get to the outer corner of the eye, flip the brush so the longest tip is facing downward and draw in your line. the brush has a built in straight edge for a clean line. try to avoid the outer part of the liner going too far down the eye, it can make your eyes look droopy instead of uplifted.





another way to do it is to use the brush and simply draw on the shape you want, and fill it in. once you get to the outer part where you want the flipped part to be, its okay to get sloppy. here, if you use the straight edge if a make up wedge sponge with a bit of eye make up remover on it (just a little to dampen the sponge, not too much) you can get a clean straight line simply from the sponge. the remover will clean up the mistakes and make the line straight.





for dark brown eyes: a dark blue green (think peacock green) will make your eyes look lighter. to enhance the dark brown, try a smoky green (like m.a.c fiction or greensmoke) so the focus is still on the eye but not taking away from the darkness of the brown in your eye.





hope this all makes sense, and good luck!
