The Smokey eye is easily one of the most coveted and difficult looks to master when it comes to makeup artistry.  Smokey eyes are iconic and have been popular among the masses for decades.  The Smokey eye effect is simultaneous with mystery, intrigue, sex appeal, and drama.  It takes a special personality to be able to pull it off; it is certainly not for those who shy away from attention grabbing makeup.  There is a delicacy to the Smokey eye and it can easily be overdone if not applied properly or with the right color palette.
