The Order Of How To Do Your Make-Up! And: How to create Smokey Eyes.

Smokey eyes, for a night out.
For the girls amoung us (maby the boys too?! Haha.): an article about the order of how to do your make-up!
I've always liked make-up, as a little girl I borrowed my mother's lipstick to put it on all over my face.
Honestly, I'm not saying I'm an expert or something, I just like it, that's all. I, personally, do it this way, if you do your make-up differently, it's okay ofcourse! You can leave out some steps, if you're not really into putting them on.

The base, the most important thing of all.
First, you apply a moisturizing cream, so your skin won't dry out or get red or so. Do not put on very much, only a little. Take a tissue and go over it after a few minutes, so it won't be wet (you'll get stains from the following products). Take a brush or your finger, and put on some concealer at the dark circles under your eyes, some possible redness or pimples to level your skin. Take a foundationbrush (or your finger) and grab a foundation in a colour that fits your skintone (that's very important, you do not want people to see your foundation, it has to be natural). Be careful that you spread it out evenly, warm your fingers by rubbing your hands against each other, and go over the whole thing. Take a powder (loose or compact, choose what ever you prefer) and a powderbrush, and evenly put it all over your face. This will let it stay longer and you won't swet off your make-up. Also, take a eyeshadow base and apply it on to your eyelid, this is were you're going to put on your eyemake-up. And now, you're ready to create your casual/night/etc.-look.

Create the look you prefer
I'm going to tell you how to create smokey eyes, I recommend to wear this look when you're going out, I wouldn't wear this at school, but that's my peronal opinion.
What you're going to do, is you're going to take a black eyepencil, and draw a line above your upper lashline. It doesn't have to be a perfect one, but it has to be thick so you can blend it out. And that is what you're going to do next! Take an eyeshadowbrush or, if you have one, a blendingbrush, and blend it all out towards your eyebrows, so you have a very black base. Take a darkgrey colour (or black, or another dark one) and apply it all over your eyepencilbase. Also, put something under your eyes, as seen in the picture. You can decide how dramatic you want to make it. Take the blendingbrush again, and go over the eyeshadow, so it won't be that harsh and you really get that smokey look. Then, to light it all up, grab a white or very light colour of eyeshadow, and apply this in the innercorner of your eyes. Blend this with the black eyeshadow.
Then, take a black eye pencil and put this on your waterline, this will make your eyes look more mysterious. If you want, you can always take some black eyeliner, but in this case, you won't see it. At last, put on some black mascara, and if you like, accentuate your eyebrows with a colour that fits your hair and skintone.
Grab a blush (not a very extreme colour, because your eyes are very dramatic, you know), and apply this in a diagonal way on to your cheeks. If you want to put on a lipstick or lipgloss, I recommend not to use dark red or purple or something, nude or pink will look better.

Finally: a nice perfume with wild hair and clothing will look fantastically.
Enjoy your evening!
Lots of Love.
