Check out the latest men's styles, women's style, fashion trends, fashion news, and personal care at stylefashn - Whether you're getting ready for a special date, a night on the town or putting together your typical make up routine, the smoky eye is the perfect way to draw attention to one of your best features. Green eyes are coveted, and applying eye makeup the right way will help draw attention to the unique color. But using the wrong shade of shadow or liner can leave your complexion washed out. Follow these simple steps to create a flawless smoky eye for green eyes.

Instructions

1 Wash your face before applying your make up to rid any dirt or oils from the skin. Use a gentle makeup remover, face wash or soap and water. Lay out the shadows and applicators that you are planning to use on your eyes and clean any brushes that may need to be cleaned by brushing them onto a paper towel to rid them of prior makeup.

2 Apply an eye shadow base (like a primer or cream concealer) to your eye lid that will allow the shadow to stay put during the course of the day and night. Make sure you do not apply other makeup, like foundation or bronze, before doing your eye makeup. Flakes of eyeshadow may fall onto your face during application, which will be much easier to remove pre-foundation.

3 Line your eyes with a dark pencil. Allwomenstalk.com suggest applying the liner as close to your lash line as possible on the upper lid. Smudge the line so that it is feathery and not too harsh (you can use the opposite side of the eye pencil if it has a smudge pad, or gently smudge with your finger to create the same effect).

4 Choose a shadow that complements your green eye color. Experts agree that green eyes look best in purples and golds. According to Taaz.com, "green eyes stand out in plum or violet shades." Allwomenstalk.com says, "For green eyes, use deep purples and golds." If you prefer, experiment with colors to see which you think looks best with your green eyes before committing to your colors.

5 Apply your dark hue shadow onto your eyelid. Start at the top of your eyeliner and then begin to cover the entire lid from the inside, closest to your nose, to the outside, angled to meet your eyebrow. Now use your lighter hue along the center of the lid and brush along your lower lash line using a small angled brush. If you want a bolder look, apply the darker shade along the lower lash line as well to finish it off.

6 Finish the look with two or three coats of dark mascara. Now that you've finished with your eye make up, use cotton swabs to remove any smears, smudges or extra makeup around your eyes and on your face.
