How to Create a Sultry Smoky Eye

If you've always wanted to try a sexy and illustrious smoky eye but have not yet had the courage to do so, today is your day! A smoky eye is a brilliant addition to your makeup arsenal, adding a dramatic touch for a special event or a night out. Creating a smoky eye effect is a lot easier than you'd think... Let's begin!

To start, apply a dependable primer to your eyelids, like Bare Escentuals Prime Time Eyelid Primer - this gives the eye makeup something to stick to. A base is such an essential step in creating the smoky eye because it will keep the makeup smudged and beautiful, instead of runny and messy. For a traditional smoky eye, you will want to choose a charcoal or espresso eyeshadow color. One fantastic choice for an uncomplicated smoky eye is the Stila eye shadow pan in Storm. This is an eye makeup product in a dark charcoal shade - exactly what you need for a smoky eye!

After you have applied the base, use the Shiseido Smoothing Eyeliner Pencil to apply black eyeliner to the upper and lower lash line. After that, apply the charcoal eyeshadow over the entire eyelid. Use a neutral cream or champagne colour to blend the charcoal eyeshadow up into the brow bone so that it looks smoother and less harsh. Now comes the fun part! The quintessential look of the smoky eye is a slightly smudged effect. To achieve this smuged effect, take a clean cottonbud and and smudge the eyeliner on your lower lash line. This is something that should look very natural, yet sexy and messy at the same time. You can also go a step further and apply some of the charcoal eyeshadow with a contour brush to the lower lash line for a more dramatic smoky look.

The next step is to curl your eyelashes, and apply several coats of Lancome Virtuose Mascara. Curling your eyelashes will help to complete the look. It is essential to apply a volumizing or lengthening mascara to make a difference in bringing out the final smoky eye.

But we're not finished yet! Finally, it is so important to groom your eyebrows as a frame for the eye makeup. Use a clean contour brush to lightly apply an eyeshadow shade that matches your hair colour. You only need to apply a very small amount of the eyeshadow to your eyebrows, and comb them into place. This will work to complete and finish your polished look of a sexy smoky eye.

If you would like to try the smoky eye with other eyeshadow shades, that is a magnificent idea! If you feel that the dramatic smoky eye is too dark for the office, then why not use something more subtle, like gold or lavender, to create a smoky eye for every day wear? The sky's the limit!

The Great Smoky Mountains

The Great Smoky Mountains are a mountain range that runs along the North Carolina and Tennessee state border. The range is part of Appalachian Mountains. Every year more and more people chose The Smoky Mountains to be their destination of choice to escape the stressed life of the city and take some time to relax and de-stress.

The great smoky mountains national park is considered a national treasure. It abounds with hiking trails, high peaks, breathtaking views, tall trees, and diverse species of wildlife. The park attracts more visitors every year than any other park in the country. It is estimated that more than 10 million people visit the park each year.

the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is home to over 10,000 documented species with estimates as high as 90,000 for how many undiscovered animals may still exist. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park was founded June 15, 1934.

The Great Smoky Mountains provide a lot of outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, white water rafting, fishing, sightseeing and camping.

The Great Smoky Mountains  receive heavy annual amounts of precipitation during the year which result in smoke evaporating from the mountains hence the name "Smoky".  Annual precipitation amounts range from 50 to 80, and snowfall in the winter can be heavy.

With scenes of everything from giant hemlocks to black bears, everyone wants to experience this natural wonder.

Also available are excursions by railroads along 53 miles of track, 2 tunnels and 25 bridges. This excursions take you through amazing landscapes in North Carolina.

The admission to the National Park is free and it is open year-round.
