'Smoked Out Electric' Look

'Smoked Out Electric' Look

So here goes round two of my smoky eye practice sessions. I am trying to minimize the time it takes to do the eye look for a video tutorial....but alas smoky looks take a while to create because they HAVE to be BLENDED out seamlessly....and let's be real ladies...BLACK does not blend easily... : )

Fingers crossed I'll get the video up tomorrow. (Yes I am getting very pale as well)
