How To Get the Perfect Smoky Eyes
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting the ridiculously nice makeup artist, Troy Jensen. Troy has worked with girls like Kristen Bell, Kim Kardashian, and Megan Fox (who is so insanely pretty, I try to make my boyfriend look away every time she's on TV). To try and channel some of that sultry gorgeousness, I turned to Troy for tips on how to get the perfect smoky eye using Q-tips, the ultimate beauty tool!
1) Swipe a clean Q-tip around the eyes using a liquid makeup remover to remove any remaining eye makeup.
Try this gentle eye makeup remover.
2) Apply a touch of concealer around the eyes and blend well.
3) Use a fresh Q-tip as an applicator to pick up a dab of soft bronze brown cream eye shadow. Place in the center of the eyelid and blend outward. Build the color to be as dark as you like. I also use the cream eye shadow as a liner by just blending close to the lash line.
4) Next, line the inside of the eye with a dark brown or black eyeliner.

5) Curl lashes and coat with a black mascara. Pair this look with a very neutral lip or a sheer gloss.
Voila! Good to go!
