    I love using Dior eyeshadow palettes. For example Twilight 140 (a blue smoky eye), or Night Butterfly (a purple smoky eye). The upcoming holiday palette, Smoky Crystal is also gorgeous. I’m a sucker for palettes, so I just collect them all even though there may be duplicate colours in the palettes.

    I love doing smokey eyes in the traditional blacks/silvers but I also love doing smokey eyes in browns, greens, blues and purples.

    I did a smokey green-teal eye last Friday. I used Painterly paintpot (base), Steamy (lid), Strike a Pose (crease), Plumage (outer v, lightly in crease), Vanilla (highlight), Vanilla (inner corner to brighten), UD Zero to line upper lashline and Plumage to line lower lashline. I really liked this look a lot :o ) .

    This is a hard question. Lol. I have a few favourite combinations but my newest one would have to be MAC Cinderfella mineralize eye shadow all over the lid, MAC Shale eye shadow in the crease, and MAC Shroom eye shadow as a highlight. Simple. :-) x

    Benefit Skinny Jeans as a base, the shimmery dark taupe shade from the Kate Dark Diamond eyes palette in BK-2 on the lid, MAC soft brown in the crease, the shimmery white highlight shade from the same Kate palette to highlight the tear duct, same coordinating eyeshadows for the lower lashline, MAC Bisque on the brow bone, Feline on the tightline and waterline, Blacktrack for the upper lashline, and KissME Volume and Curl mascara. Sometimes I’ll mix a little Reflects Antique gold plus MAC liner mixing medium and add a little sparkle on my lower lashline just directly under the pupil.

    I like to use my jet eyepencil (black) by prescriptives. I take that and draw a line on the outer two thirds of my upper lash line, I then draw a 90 degree angle and shade it in with the pencil. I then take my 217 brush and smoke it out. The I take my black from the Mineralize hot contrast duo by MAC and use my 217 to set the the liner. I line my bottom water line and lash line with the same pencil and smudge out that with the shadow. In the inner 1/3 corner of the upper lash line and bottom one third lash line I use a retrospect. On my brow bone I use concealer. Just two colors but I use this particular technique because my eyes are small and if I bring the darker color all the way in then it doesnt look good.

    I haven’t had the opportunity to really do a smoky eye of my own – I usually wear glasses, but I saw an absolutely smashing look on Melanie C that I want to try and recreate on my BFF. This is the link to the YouTube vid – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC0DnqE8kxY

    It’s sultry and smoky, yet girlie and almost Spring-like in its use of color. It looks like a cross between charcoal and lavender for the eyes, with the nudes leaning toward pinks. I have a whole list of possibles that they COULD be (some products from the current NARS collection come to mind for the eyes), but I’m not sure about specifics.
