Todays Tip: Smokey Eyes for Beginners

So, imagine this: You go online and locate step by step instructions for creating a smokey eye. Feeling confident, you grab your eyeshadow and brush and head off to the closest mirror to beautify your eyes and await the transformation from girl next door to mysterious vixen! You can't wait to hit the town with your new look.
You start to apply your shadow and realize, it's looking more like a black eye than a smokey eye. The culprit? YOUR BRUSH!
Instead of trying to use the applicator that comes with your shadow, (they never work) and you've made the attempt to use that $10 "blending" brush, why not try a smudge brush?
These little brushes (snag one for $1.00! at www.eyeslipsface.com) are the perfect tool to apply your smokey eye. The little sponge tip is perfect for applying the darker shades in the crease and along the lash line. They also work well for lining the lower lash as long as you are light handed with it.
So the next time you attempt this sultry and sexy look, remember the smudge brush! And once you have mastered the smokey eye, feel free to use the recommended brushes to achieve the look, but you just might find you don't need to!

Good luck my beauty bitchling's! If you need step by step instructions or a video how to, let me know!
