How To Create a Grey/Silver Smokey Eyes Look
  1. Put on your foundation and conceal the dark circles in your eyes. Pat loose powder on the under eye areas where possible eyeshadow fallouts could fall. 
  2. Apply eyeshadow base all over your lids and followed by applying the milky white eyeshadow to set the eyeshadow base and to intensify the grey/silver eyeshadow colors.
  3. On your inner lids and crease area dab a generous amount of grey/silver eyeshadow, blending it up to the middle part of your lids and middle crease. 
  4. On the outer edges ( V-corners) of your eyelids, apply the shimmery black eyeshadow. Concentrate on shading the corners darker and blend it upwards, bringing the color towards the upper crease area or simply shading your eye sockets.   
  5. With a blending brush, blend any harsh edges and the two colors but make sure to keep the inner eyelids  lighter than the outer V-corners of the eyes.
  6. Apply a champagne white colored eyeshadow on your brow bones to add light on your eyes and to soften the edges of the darker colors. Blend it well with the colors below it.
  7. Line your lash lines with a black gel eyeliner. Create a thin winged eye look.
  8. Sweep a little amount of shimmery black eyeshadow just under your lower lash lines up to the middle part only. Then on the inner lower lash lines sweep a small amount of light grey/silver eyeshadow, connecting it to the black shimmery eyeshadow.
  9. Line your waterlines and tear ducts with white eyeliner.
  10. Tight line your upper lash lines with black eyeliner pencil.
  11. Curl your lashes and apply black mascara. ( You can also apply dramatic false eyelashes if you want.)
  12. Define your brows and sweep off the loose powder under your eyes with a brush,  preferably with a fan brush.
  13. Contour your face with a bronzer and highlight parts of your face where you want to bring forward using a highlighter.
  14. Sweep a natural/soft pink blusher on your cheeks.
  15. Line your lips with a lip liner  and apply your favorite nude, creamy or matte lipstick. Avoid intense colored, frosted or shimmery lipsticks with this look.  And your done! ;D
