Did you know that men go absolutely ga-ga over women with smoky eyes? The best way to achieve that look and add a touch of mystery is to put on some dark eye makeup, a technique that many women love. At the same time, you don't want to go to extremes. You'll want to follow these tips to help you get the most from your eye makeup.

Whenever you go shopping for eye makeup, don't forget to assess your skin tone, hair color, and eye color to determine which makeup is best for you. Just because a certain color looks wonderful on your friend doesn't mean it's going to do anything for you. Find colors that complement your skin tone.

But hey, what's the fun of putting on some dark eye makeup if you can't break some of the rules? There's no law preventing you from experimenting, so have some fun! Mix and match different colors and pick out shades that will make your eyes really stand out.

You probably have a lot of different outfits, right? How about getting a bunch of different dark makeup kits? If you do that, you'll be able to wear eye makeup that goes with any outfit you own. But you can always resort to the classic dark grey and charcoal if you have a tight budget.

Having those colors in your makeup kit will start you off on the right foot if you want to create a smoky eye look. Smoky eyes are very popular with good reason! Men go crazy for a smoky eye and other women will want to emulate you.

You already have an advantage over many women because so many of them are scared off by dark eye makeup. It can take some confidence to pull that off. The good news is that you'll have so much confidence because you're wearing dark eye makeup! This can really pay off for you.

But don't go to extemes! If you go too crazy with the dark markup, your look may end up being less than attractive. So before you step out of the house, check with your family to see what they think of your makeup. Ask if you've put on too much, or if you could use a little more, or if you got the look just right. Their honesty can save you from making a blunder.

Wearing dark eye makeup is a great decision if you want to stand out. Don't waste your time wearing the same makeup day in and day out. Choose colors that are fun and complement your skin tone, and you'll have a beautiful look that is truly desired.
