Smokey and the Bandit

I went to the MAC counter recently and had them show me how to do some smokey eye goodness. I've always wanted to know how to pull that look off, cause lets be honest, who doesn't want to be smoldering sexy once in awhile?!? Plus Emma Stone looked hot with her smokin eyes in Zombieland....and I kinda want to be like her in that movie (a.k.a. badass).
After trying it out though and seeing what look I could pull off, I've come to the conclusion that smokey eyes don't work in every setting for everyone. I've decided the extra smokey look is really only practical for:

movies
the red carpet
rockstars
magazines or photo shoots for figures in the public eye
artsy photos
Halloween
or hookers
I'm curious to know what guys feel about smokey eyes. If it holds the same loathing as the pants tucked into your boots? I've never heard a guy say anything about a girls smokey eyes...not that I would change liking it. Just curious...Regardless though, for now I will be sticking to the subtle smokey, more of a smudgy eyeliner look. Maybe someday I will move onto something more smoldering or on days I'm feeling frisky and daring I will smolder my eyes more. I wonder if this is just the gateway and someday soon I will be goth girl?!? (gross)

  1. #1 Way to validate my boyfriend on guys loathing pants tucked into boots (I think I owe him an apology...I thought he was the only one!)

    #2 The smokey eye look does not personally make you look like a hooker. Quite nice actually :)

    I'm a fan! Smudge away!

  4. I have absolutely no problem with pants in boots. You can tuck your pants into your boots all day as far as I'm concerned.

    I also have no problem with smokey eyes. I think they work on some people better than others.
