Finally!

I have finally mastered the "smokey eye". After approximately 20 years of effort, I figured it out. The trick seems to be to over- apply. Over- apply, then use a real make up brush instead of that cheap foamy thing that comes with my cheap make up, lightly swipe over what you just put on. That will smoodgie it and leave a gradient effect.

So what, you are thinking? Yeah, me too. Who cares.

I HAVE NO WHERE TO GO THAT MIGHT BE NICE TO HAVE A SMOKEY EYE!!!

Does the little boy at the gas station register care that I have mastered the smokey eye? How about my kids pre- 4K teacher? The brats at the park? The smokey eye is not generally appropriate in daylight.

Dangit.

(I would have pictures but still have not dealt with my broken camera and extra purchased warranty.)

And you know what else? If I did have somewhere to go, not that I am admitting this happened but, if I did have somewhere to go I bet I would realize later that I had a great face full of sophisticated make up but it was all negated by the large yellow Big Bird hair clip on the back of my head.
