I love to wear the smokey eyes with a dark blue instead of a black to make it a little more lighter.

ps. I would love to win because I can’t buy Covergirl here in Europe!

Wearing purple eyeshadows really bring out my brown eyes, so i prefer purple/plum smokey eyes with a hint of reflects glitter.

I’m not entering. I just wanted to say “Eww, why would you WANT that?” I bought two shadow blasts because I loved the colors, but sadly, the product is greasy, creasy, not beautifal garbage. 🙁

I love dark olive green smokey eyes!!! They just make me feel like if Mother Earth had a sister that was a sex kitten, it would be me. I don’t know that was a weird way to explain it but yeah that’s it.

I have a go to brown smoky eye using MAC Expresso as a lid color, MAC Wedge to soften the edges, a lttle bit of MAC Carbon to darken the outer crease and MAC vanilla pigment as a highlight. I usually line my eyes with black liner. I can wear this look with anything and step it up or tone it down to fit any occasion.

I love classic dark grey or black smoky eyes. Sometimes I like to add a twist, i.e. a touch of teal green or of artifact on the center of the lid.
Thanks for the opportunity Christine! 🙂

My favorite smoky eye is a combination of navy blended up into a brown/taupe. It sounds crazy but with fair skin it looks amazing and very chic.

I love bronzey-brown smoky eyes on me! And on other girls, I think black smoky eyes look amazing, and I wish I could pull them off!

I love doing brown and neutrals smoky eye for daytime, but my favorite smoky eye is plum blended with soft gray at the crease, black, and a really soft light pink or cream in the inner eye area.

I like a taupe smokey eye. More drama then a brown smokey eye and not as harsh as a black smokey eye. Plus it works for day and night.

I love a dark plum/purple smokey eye! It’s not as dark as a conventional smokey eye and you can even wear it during the day. ^_^

I love ANY color of smokey eye! It’s gotta be one of my fav styles! If I had to pick one though, I’d say either purple/gold or brown/gold….I guess that two…oh well! (Grey/Pink looks good too!) =)

Bronze fire looks so pretty! I could make a neutral smoky eye in one moment – it’s my summer look that i’m dying for! And for night, Purple Plume would create a beautiful evening out eye.

Purple Smokey Eye:

MACs Shroom in the inner corner
MACs Trax in the crease
MACs Poison Pen on the outer corner
MACs Vanilla as a highlight
MACs Black Track to line my eyes to finish off the smokey look =)

I love adding a bit of green to the edges of a black or charcoal smoky eye. it’s my go to look when I’m not feeling especially creative.

I like to do a red and black smoky eye. I know, not too common. But it’s gorgeous. I take MAC cranberry and a dark pigmented black shadow and use the red on my crease and the black on my lashline to crease. I blend, and wala. 🙂

I’ve never done a smokey eye because I always felt that having red hair and freckles would make me look like I was playing in my mother’s makeup! But I’d love to try the CG green shade and see how it looks. I already own Lash Blast and love, love, love it!

I like doing a brown smoky eye because it’s pretty neutral and doesn’t look too harsh or heavy, and it make my blue eyes pop. 🙂

I love brown and plum smoky eyes. They’re intense but can still be work friendly, which is great. Plus, purple is a big spring color!!! Thanks for the opportunity, as always!

i love the classic black or brown smokey, but i love purple smokey eyes more, and sometimes i will pop some green in somewhere to really make my eyes pop.

i actually have really been loving the black smoky smudgy eye with a bit of gloss on the center lids. very captain jack from pirates of the caribbean, haha. i love how this look is SUPPOSED to look messy, and that creasing actually makes it look better! i love the imperfectness of it all <3 has been my go to look for those nights out =]

I love nuetral colors so my go to is the brown smokey eye, but when I want something special I love to add a pop of color. I line my eyes with a bright liner or shadow like purple or a metallic gold

For an understated daytime smokey eye, I like taupe, bronze and brown, but for a more dramatic nightime SE, I often go for silver, navy, and black.

My favorite smokey eye look is a mixture of purple and deep cranberry colors, because my eyes are green AND golden (central heterochromia) so this color combination really intensifies my eye color/s and it’s a bit different than the usual black smokey eye.

I’m usually a classic black smokey eye girl. With a pop of color on my lower lash line. But lately when I wear them it’s always smokey browns!

My fav is a ashy navy, it really brings out dark brown eyes. I also like to pair it with blue mascara. It really makes your eyes pop!

I LOVE wearing a baby/pastel pink and smoking it out with a matte dark brown. It’s just enough to add dimension without totally making my eyes too dark.

I love to do a gunmetal grey/silver with black for the evening. Now that summer is almost here I’m experimenting with coppers and browns for daytime.

Purple plum. I’d mix it the purple end with the brown and smoke it out with a plumish shadow. Shades of purple really complements brown eyes. Well, at least mine.

I love to wear a plum smoky eye! It complements my hazel eyes well and is less harsh compares to the traditional grey/black smoky eye, but just as gorgeous!,

I love to use a warmer silver and a cool taupe to make a smashing smoky eye! I love how unique the colors look together! Its great on any skin tone too!

Personally I have never used the ShadowBlast products before (hence sending in an entry) but I really love a purple and black smoky eye!

I usually do a greyed out purple with cool silvers (or whites) and a dark dark grey or black and it looks gorgeous, it really makes my brown eyes pop just adding that little bit of purple! Even though you can’t really tell it’s there!

my fav smokey eye is using MAC’s satin taupe with a little black in the outer crease, lined with black liner and shroom as a highlight.

I love a grey smokey eye. Or taking my brown eyeliner all over my lid and smudging. Then putting an emerald green e/s over it.

I really like to use a more greysh king of smokey eye. I’m currently using Bought Grey all over the lid with Typography on the outer corner and crease and a bit of Prussian eye pencil on the waterline, upper and lower lash line.

Brown, or blue. I don’t normally like to use black. I use brown if the situation calls for something less weird, but one of my strange beauty habits is wearing blue eyeliner ^_^

Jenny Avatar

i wear a smokey brown and gold eye most frequently since i’m usually in a situation where anything other than a neutral look would be deemed inappropriate. but i love a smokey purple on the weekends 🙂

My favourite colour of smokey eye probably has a hint of bronze in it. I am not a big fan of smokey eys, though. 🙁

I know I have a .co.uk domain, but consider me as in the USA. Military stuff means I’m in the USA.

I love the classic smoky look….BLACK….the darker the better 😀 but i also love a green smoky look. But to choose a favorite i guess ill have to go with black smoky eye….looks good no matter the time of day or the season of the year!!! 😀 😀

I love wearing a deep purple smoky eye! It’s versatile both for day and night (just add thin black liner along the lashlines to take it from day to night), and creates a beautiful eye-popping effect.

Ann Avatar

besides the common dark grey/ black smokey makeup which I do rather regualarly, I like to use varying shades of deep purple to create a less dramatic but still fun smokey eye!

I have green eyes so the purple really makes my eyes pop. I’m also very fair so anything darker looks a little muddy on me.

I like to wear a dark, emerald green smoky eye. It works well on my skintone, it’s my favorite color and it’s more unique than black. I’ve also never seen another girl out with a dark green smokey eye, and I love to be unique!

I hate to be soo boring but I love a tradional smoky eye with black/silver/white. Its a classic look you just can’t go wrong with it at any time. I love the simplicity of only two colors. Very simple to do but always stunningly beautiful especially when paired with a nude lip.
Thanks for the chance to win such a fantastic prize!

Definitely a pink/purple smokey eye — makes brown eyes POP! I love to do a pinkish color all over the lid and a dark, sultry purple on the outer corners. Blend, blend, blend and smoke it out with a little black. GORGEOUS!

Jessica Avatar

I love a purple smokey eye and a black/grey smokey eye! I find that a black smokey eye is much more mysterious than any other color, it is also the messiest!

I love a classic smoky grey, I think it compliments my blonde hair and blue eyes nicely. However, I’m a sucker for purple eyeshadow, so I’ve been known to go for a smoky purple before.

I love the Purple Plume on me. Pinks, purples, and browns look the best, and I love using products with those colors (= However I’m verry excited to try Citrus Flair. I need to jump out of my comfort zone and work with greens and blues more !!

Hmm I would have to say I love using browns… A nice chocolate brown on the lid with a deeper dark chocolate brown in the crease!!

I absolutely love blending Club e/s allover and in my crease with the 224 brush, and dabbing humid in the middle of my lid w/ 239, and blending with the 226 brush, Carbon or a matte forest green in the small of my inner and outer corners with Solar White, or Gorgeous Gold as an inner eye hightlight! Very pretty when you do all this in steps and modestly (:

I keep hesitating on this for some reason and dont know why. I should go down and get some though. I haven’t read all the comments yet, but if you haven’t YOU SHOULD try “sue devitt’s eye intensifier” I’ve been using it for about 4 yrs in “kenya, & tanzania” best chocolate brown and bronzy copper. so many things you can do w/it, and stays on with me. it’s the greatest!

have a g’one! 😉

I’ve recently come to LOVE a subdued Green Smokey Eye; MAC Chartru Paint on the lid as a base, then MAC Bitter/Sharp (from Cult of Cherry quad) on the lid with Espresson to Espresso in the crease and Carbon as the “smoke”. Loves it!

My favorite smokey eye to wear is a brown smokey eye. it works great with my green eyes, and doesn’t look as harsh as black!

I love a dark purple smokey eye, with black as the base and a shimmery purple over top. Thick lashes and pale lips to top it off.

purple or red (weird I know) smokey eyes are the ones I especially love. Particular the red/copper kind of color, using Stila’s Indian Summer quad (the red copper shade in there).

For fall I like wearing matte black with shimmery grey/silver and then for spring I kinda jumped into the bright teal and purple craze, like what Dick Page did at the Micheal Kors ss and Mac Give me liberty of London look.
