When I wore makeup (1 day of the month, tops!)

I had to ask my cousin how to apply the stuff (she's 12 years younger than I am!) and she showed me. Then I went and spent about $5.00 on some shadows, experimented and still wasn't pleased. To my surprise, I lined my top lid (which I never did before) and was amazed at what a difference it makes! So now I line my lids then do the eyeshadows and it does look pretty good. But can I still do the smokey-look thing still?
(Sorry I wrote a novel - I've never known how to keep it short. . .)

Yep it still looks good, I'd do what you're doing and add a lil of the darker color in a triangle at the outer corner of your eye. Curl eyelashes and wear mascara (and maybe darken the color a lil) if you want to make it a nighttime look.
What you call smoky is really just eye contouring...you can do it with light lilac and darker purple....light silver and darker blue....in neutrals its a day thing....with "smoke" darker colors, its a night thing.
You're fine
