Classic Black Smokey Eye Tutorial

[@msnicoleangela1118]

This the most informative and helpful black eyeshadow tutorial on KZbin (IMO) I love the voiceover and the fact that you didn't drag out the beginning with boring obvious crap, or pause with 1000s of disgusting tongue smacks. And the fast forwarding was on point. To top it all off was the beautiful results and the flawless finish. Girl, you got yourself a "like" on this video and a new subscriber AND turned on my settings for my phone to notify me at every new video you post.

I think this may be the best smokey eye I've ever seen lol

[@tweetyrocks7686]

but i dnt understand why she has to put red color in crease,when its black eyeshadow.

[@CurlsNpolish]

+Lamisa Choudhury it's a transition color. It wouldn't look right if it was only black.

[@tweetyrocks7686]

CurlsNpolish thats what i dont understand why have to put transition color or color in the crease,i am not good in eyeshadows,so i dont get why beauty bloggers use it and its not really true that it wont look right if it was only black,i did black eyeshadow once and i only used black and it turned out really good,i got many compliments for that.

[@sharnahorn8642]

+Lamisa Choudhury a transition color is used for this and other looks to create the harsh line If just black it would create a harsh obvious line its like a gradient the black is meant to blend into the color to show transition in a gradient fashion does that make sense?

[@sharnahorn8642]

+Lamisa Choudhury *sorry I meant to eliminate the harsh line.

[@nekobaby9324]

"For special occasions" *laughs awkwardly as I wear it to the grocery store*

[@jennilara3930]

[@mayratouchofglam]

Thank you!

[@anitanewton4419]

To be honest, I have watched billions of eye tutorials like this but so far and will remain for now this is the best! Please this is called talent! I love love love love love love the look!

[@jessicatinoco9005]

Man, why does a black smokey eye look good on everyone except on me. I blend blend blend and I still look like I got punched in the face every single time.

[@bubbles032818]

Lol... totally agree with you

[@SaiHiChannel]

I feel you..., you're not alone :(

[@codexx_venom]

I do to :(

[@shoshanaanderson8898]

Vivi D right I can do it it just takes so much time

[@dollylovesmolly7763]

Try puting a piece of tape on the corner of your eye going towards the outer corner of your eyebrow, it helps the shadow stay neat you can blend it out a little once your done, i do it all the time and it works perfectly:)

[@ayeshatabby1900]

The intensity of the black was SO satisfying for some reason. I mean, I've never seen any KZbinr do a BLACK, dark, satisfying smokey eye. 😍❤👌👍

[@lynsayayala3622]

You are so gorgeous! I'm so glad I came upon your tutorials. You have answered questions that I couldn't find answers to! Thank you so much pretty lady!!!!

[@KISSANDMAKEUP0514]

This is a gorgeous smoky eye ! You always blow me away with your looks !

[@shans.762]

Can I just say this smokey eye is so beautiful! It was super intense but not over the top or too harsh. Love love love

[@andreabarrientes2652]

The people that are saying they hate the heavy makeup irritate me. If you don't like it don't watch the video. They're just here to complain

[@scampiscampai]

Respect the other opion

[@shaywilliams4790]

@@scampiscampai Right? I don't think heavy makeup is always a bad thing, sometimes I like it lighter and sometimes more heavy. Just because someone doesn't like makeup to be heavy or caked on doesn't mean they just aren't into makeup, they just like it light. It's just a different opinion. That's what the comment sections for

[@londonplayz257]

Amen

[@londonplayz257]

[@rachelb5512]

I love how you make a smokey eye look so "clean". This is stunning...like so many of your looks! You have mad talent.

[@SoBeautyStuff]

Gorgeous, I love how bold this smokey eye is! X

[@josellesandoval3246]

Best black Smokey eye I've ever seen. So beautiful.

[@MortisThorne]

To anyone who has problems with their foundation looking caked on or clown-like (except for the lovely woman in the video, her foundation is flawless); It's all about skin care, lemme tell you. (OP actually has beautiful skin) Your face needs to be clean and moisturized. Whenever you put on makeup, afterwards you must clean your face thoroughly, clogged pores, break-out acne, and a dry face will absolutely give you an actual caked-on look with your foundation. It's also in the amount of the product you're using and how much pressure you apply to your face with the brush you're using. No matter how much expensive makeup and how many high quality brushes you buy, it won't come out as desired if you don't learn control over your strokes. Same goes with eyeshadow or contour, you must learn control over the amount of pressure and your strokes. Keep practicing Ladies and Gentlemen, you'll definitely get the hang of it!

[@phaedraremington6247]

I know this is two years old but you are beautiful!

[@arixwolf2178]

I am just blown away with this, i do however have trouble with dealing with the undereyes myself, but how you did it is just so perfect, thank you for showing your video!

[@thenessa4048]

Girl if caking it makes you feel fierce than you cake that shitt on! Makeup empowers us. Do yo thang

Use a concealer under your foundation and your eyes will brighten right up!

[@alexandrakritzman938]

That's what I said!!

[@parysgutler4550]

You have the prettiest eyes! That green and brown really looks stunning on you!

[@majortptrash3286]

Why is it when you do it it's flawless but when I do it I look like a clown!

[@meowscutie]

I don't see how you'd look like a clown... maybe you did something wrong? didn't blend enough, put too much of one color, etc

[@majortptrash3286]

+Rose Ray (peetza) it wasn't meant literally

[@sharnahorn8642]

I like u used to look like a panda when doing this I found the easiest way to do this is if u follow these steps it will come out super glamorous and easy. take a matte soft brown for example salted Carmel from chocolate palletes works great and put that in crease, next take your next transition shade be it burgundy or whatever for example cherry cordial from chocolate bar in the crease this time using a denser blending type brush so its more in the actual crease and also so it goes on darker if that made sense like u have your lighter transition then your more focused stronger darker transition hope that came out clear lol then take a black jumbo eye liner pencil one that can be used for a base they are basically liner eye shadow pencils and make sure to put it evenly all over the lid, next take a Mac 242 which is a dense flat synthetic brush which is what I use tho I'm sure a flat shader brush works too and with patting motions on the lid slowly build the black shadow on the lid and then slowly make windshield wiper motions as u get closer up into the crease to get the transition blending gradient effect this step is most important for a decent black smokey basically pat on the lid till your satisfied with how dark and opaque it is and then as the color gets into the crease blend with windshield wiper motions this technique prevents fall out and will give u control.

[@sharnahorn8642]

and of course tightline the top and bottom of your eyes and falsies really help also

[@majortptrash3286]

+Sharna Horn thank you this helped so much!!!

[@kiaranicole2304]

I mix organic coconut oil and dish soap and use it as a brush cleaner, it works

[@SamMiBleu]

Melanie Porter use coconut oil and baby shampoo make a small mixture f both,then rinse withlukewam water.

[@BarbieKills001]

Mimi Armand thank you

[@nadja079]

Stunning! one of the BEST black smokey eyes I've seen! I would never think to use bitten as a transition for a black smokey eye, I generally use cocoa bear, but I LOVE bitten, so I'm definitely going to try that! thanks!

[@izabella7174]

I know your pain!

[@meowscutie]

how do you tight line without crying?

[@daisymakeiff]

use and end of a brush to press on your crease to lift your eyelid away from your eyeball, than look down on angle in a mirror. thats how i do it anyways (: hope it helps

Would this be good for a prom?

[@laurensmakeuplife]

You definitely could wear this to prom, but my personal opinion is that for prom you should go more dramatic with your makeup, but this might be a little too dramatic! But hey I'm a makeup lover, and I wear some pretty crazy makeup sometimes, so honestly do whatever makes you feel beautiful! :)

[@teodoramaksimovic3196]

[@irisquinn330]

I think it would gorgeous for prom! It might be even better if you add a color similar to your dress to corner of your eye for a nice pop of color to help compliment your outfit. :)

[@sharnahorn8642]

u just need to find makeup that suits u. I'm Asian with small almond eyes and I make all looks even this one work its all about colors and application

[@CloverLambleyx]

Honestly LOVE this look, I tried it and wore it two nights on the run for a pirate fancy dress (I work in a nightclub) and the tutorial was amazing and it looked fab howeverrrrrr just a warning to anyone with even the slightest dry or sensitive skin make sure you take care with it.. I've never had sensitive or dry skin, get occasional dryness in the winter but nothing out of the ordinary and this make up was so heavy and dried my eyes out so much I haven't been able to wear any eye make up in 4 days, and there are still signs of flakiness now.. I always take care of my skin and always remove my make up before bed so I know it was just from the products (gel liner/primer) that dried my eyes out.. Next time I'll definitely only do it on a one off, gutted cause it looks so amazing 😍😋

[@marisabenabidez1674]
