Tackling a Budget Friendly Black Smokey Eye


You know what I love (and hate) about the smoky eye? The world cannot get enough of them!!! From runway, to music videos to magazine covers — it’s a cult favorite.

Smokey Eyes Or Neutral Eyes – The Dilemma

Yeah. Smoked out eyes can be a beauty guru’s lifeline. But I still manage to avoid smokey eye makeup looks. Check my posts on social media (@GirlRatesWorld). Oh, and even my youtube videos. It’s quite clear that I’m more of a neutral eye gal.

Doing a Round with Mayweather?

I’ve avoided smokey eye makeup looks because I was being a wimp. I’ve always been afraid of them. They’ve always been that one makeup look I overlooked. And, I’m sure you know why? I didn’t want that…  I got into a fight with Floyd Mayweather last night look.

Black Smokey Eye Makeup & Pinterest

I’m want to grow in my makeup skills as any beauty and fashion blogger would. I’m learning to get out of my comfort zone more. So I referenced the makeup encyclopedia (AKA Pinterest). And I was able to achieve a pretty darn good smoky eye. So, naturally, I wanted to share this moment with all! So let’s run down the budget-friendly items I used to achieve this gorgeous, glam look.
