The Smoky Eye, chocolate flavour.


Step.1
- Using a cleansing lotion (preferrably eye make-up remover) gently remove all traces of mascara, eyeshadow etc. from your eyes.
Step. 2
- Using Benefit 'Big Beautiful Eyes' eye contour kit, take the soft eyeshadow brush and after loading it with the pale pink shadow gently sweep the brush along the eye socket, ensuring full coverage from lash to just under the eyebrow.



Step 3.
- Blowing the remaining base eye-shadow off the soft brush, sweep it through the mocha shadow next. This shadow should be applied to the outer third of the eye socket. Creating a shaded effect when the eyes are open, from light to dark. (as below)


Step 4.
- Using the liner brush at the end of the double-ended utensil, gently lace the brush with the chocolate powder eyeliner. Next, trace a very fine line along the eyelashes both above and below, extending to the outer corner of the eye. *cat-flicks are an added touch for an evening eye!


Step 4.
- Taking a good thickening mascara, coat the top lashes (fanning outwards from the centre) and carefully coat the bottom lashes, taking care not to smudge. *My personal favourite is Masterpiece mascara by Maxfactor, lengthens lashes and it won't dent your wallet and as an added bonus, it's the make-up of make-up artists apparently!


Step 5.
- Open your eyes and carefully dot a tiny amount of white eye shadow into the corner of your eye. This trick appears to open the eye more, and leaves you with massive peepers that would leave anyone jealous.... Bambi, eat your heart out!
