Applying the eye makeup you see on the models in tv and magazine?

Ok, so everyone has seen those beautiful dark eyes that models and actors wear, first off what is good make up to buy for that look, also how should i apply it. thanksApplying the eye makeup you see on the models in tv and magazine?
That's what I thought when I first saw all the flawless makeup in magazines. But it is normally done by professionals who have had year and years of experience. And everybody skin if different so you can't always expect it to turn out the exact same as the picture or persons makeup is. Go to a makeup store( or even the makeup people in your mall) and ask them what to do and how to do your makeup however you are wanting it.Applying the eye makeup you see on the models in tv and magazine?
Mac has the only black eyeshadow that will actually show up black. They also have the easiest applicator on their liquid eyeliner, which will help with the dramatic smokey look. You will need another black color as well, the covergirl black sparkling one is perfect. You need a silver too, the only one I've seen is at Estee Lauder but Im sure with all of the bright new eye colors at walmart by Hip and Maybelline you should be able to find one. And a light creme or white (found anywhere). Start with the silver all over the eye, then follow with the lighter covergirl black from the middle up to the crease, then following your crease towards your nose. Then use the Mac black to start on the outer corners of the eye. head at an upward away from the nose angle until just past the crease then fill in any space in between that and the lighter black (the darkest black will make a v shape that the point of the v will point towards the end of your eyebrow- best way I could think to explain it). I wish I could just show you a picture. Finally take the white and highlight just underneath the brow to make it extra dramatic. Then line the eyes with a black liquid liner (better for drama), and top it all off with mascara. To accentuate it a little better add another dash of silver on the inside corner of the eyes. and WALA~ i think thats how its spelled


One final pointer, black is the worst about getting underneath your eyes and making it look like you put eyeshadow on your dark circles. While applying dark eyeshadows, hold a folded tissue right underneath your bottom lash line to prevent this.





This does take a lot of trial and error, but its fun once you learn how.
I think what you are talking about are sexy smokey eyes and when done the correct way they look absolutely gorgeous. I would go to your local Sephora store and buy the Bare Escentuals Tutorials - Lesson 1: Smoky Eye. It's an entire kit that teaches you step by step how to achieve that sexy smokey eye. Also, when you're there tell the employees to do your eyes for you...that's what they're there for and you don't need to tip them or anything. They literally get paid to help you, demonstrate make-up and hopefully convince people to buy products. Anyways, if there's not a sephora near you, =( then go to sephora.com and look up Bare Escentual products and you'll find it. Good luck looking fierce!
You need to remember that for magazines the pictures are airbrushed and touched up. But alot of the eye makeup is finished up with fake eyelashes. Eyeliner is also used along the top lash line. Hope that helps.
