How to do a Matte Smoky Eye

I am asked very often, by family and friends, about how to do a smoky eye. So last night, I attempted to film my first makeup tutorial. My boyfriend and I set everything up and I locked myself in the bedroom. It didn't quite work out as planned and at 1:00 in the morning, you could tell I wasn't into it. I guess it wasn't meant to be because the camera went dead before I could finish. I'm not having luck with video tutorials. I'm hoping I'll get it right sometime.

1. Prime your eye using whatever primer you're comfortable with. I used Two Faced Shadow Insurance.
2. Since mattes tend to go on kind of blotchy (how technical is that) take a creamy brown product and use this as a base as well. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Dark Brown would be a good choice but any brown base would work. Apply this lightly on the lid and blend it out with a synthetic brush like MAC's 242.
3. Then take a medium brown color like Espresso by MAC, and using MAC's 239, pack this all over the lid. Use this color to very softly blend out the crease. (Loew Cornell 1/4 " Maxine Mop is a great alternative to this brush.)
4. Next use a rusty, brick color to warm up the crease. Apply this lightly with a fluffy brush like MAC's 224. 
5. Use a darker brown or a black to lightly darken (lightly, darken-Does that make sense?) the outer V.
6. Take that same color and use it as a liner on the lid. 
7. Use this same dark color under the eye and concentrate in the outer corner.
8. Take a flesh tone color, and use this as your brow highlight and to blend down the crease color.
9. At this point, you can either line your waterline with a dark brown or black pencil. If you choose to skip this step, take a flesh tone pencil and "clean" up the waterline because I'm sure some product got on there.
10. To add a little shimmer, I took Shroom by MAC and applied this under the brow.
11. Curl your eye lashes, apply your favorite mascara, and falsies if you wish....and you're done.

I love to do a matte smoky eye. It's dramatic without looking too overdone. If it is possible for a smoky eye to not look overdone. :) Sooooo, that's it. On the lips you can use a neutral color or go all out. It's up to you.
