For this look, you will need a very dark eye grey or deep blue eye shadow.  Always start your smoky eyes by prepping your eyelids with a concealer.  It makes your eye makeup adhere better and stay in place all day or all night.  Line your upper and lower lids with a gel-based black eye liner.  Follow through the lines with a pencil eye liner.  The top of end of your eye color should be very close to your eyebrows.  Mark this point lightly with your pencil eye liner.  Take your eye shadow and fill in from top lid to the line you just marked.

2. Cat Smoked

Take a black, gel-based eyeliner with a flat, broad tip.  Line your upper eyelid and extend on the outer corners, letting the flat tip define the end.  Extend on the inner corners as well with a pointed edge. Line the lower lids as well.  Imagine your eyelid cut in half.  Take your eyeliner and make a mark from the top half of your eyelids, all the way to the cat’s eye you drew on your top eye line.  Make it a sexy, curvy line.  Color the outer corners with a black eye shadow.  Fill in the inner half with a much lighter eye shadow in nude shade.

3. Moderately Smoky

4. Soft Smoky
