Here is a great question from Cheryl:"I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE THE SMOKY EYE BUT ALSO WITH BLUE, LAVENDERS AND GREENS. I HAVE BLUE EYES AND VERY FAIR RED HEAD SKIN." CHERYL
Cheryl,
The smoky eye is one of the most requested looks and is one of my personal favorites. The smoky eye can be created with just about any color you want as long as you use three colors of eye shadow (a light, medium and dark shadow) that will give you that deep, sultry look you desire! With red hair and blue eyes, you can use lighter and darker shades of blues, browns, greens or lavenders to create a beautiful smoky eye.
I have included step by step instructions for you to follow.
Hope this helps.

Application
With a eyeshadow brush or a sponge eyeshadow applicator, apply your base color eyeshadow on the lower eyelid and above the crease, about halfway to the eyebrows, blending slightly.
With a pointy eyeshadow sponge applicator, apply darker contour color eyeshadow all the way around the eyeball, blending it well with the pencil line.
Close your eye and apply the same darker contour color in the crease.
To define the outside corners of your eyes, use a horizontal “V” shape. The position of the pointy end of the “V” will control the apparent shape of your eyes.
Blend the eyeshadows on the upper eyelid with a soft blender brush. With a flat eye defining brush, blend the eyeshadows on the lower eyelid.
Repeat your contour color application with a sponge eyeshadow applicator, as many times as needed to achieve a deep shade. Blend again with brushes after every application.
Apply a highlighting color eyeshadow under the eyebrow to add depth to the smoky eye.
Use lots of black mascara to finish the look.
