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.

Consider having many different dark makeup sets. That way you can match the colors to fit with any outfit you might want to wear. If cash is tight you can always go with the old standbys of charcoal and dark grey.

You'll want to have all those colors as part of your makeup kit, because they'll help you get the best smoky eye look. And you want that, because men are drawn to the seductive look of smoky eyes. And as for women, they'll think, "I want to look like her!" Smoky eyes are popular.

Confidence is key when it comes to wearing dark eye makeup, and not very many women have the courage to even try it. The dark makeup scares them. So, if you're bold enough to give yourself the smoky eye look, you already have an advantage over all those other women! Even better, wearing the dark makeup will only increase your confidence.

Remember to never use too much makeup, however. If you go overboard it can have the opposite effect you were going for. It's best to have a friend or family member check you out before you leave the house. They can tell you if you have too little, too much, or just the right amount. Getting the advice of other people can be invaluable so that you don't make a makeup blunder.

If you want to boldly stand out, wearing dark eye makeup may be perfect for you. Don't fall into the trap of wearing the same old boring makeup every day. Choose fun, bold colors that go with your skin tone instead. You'll look stunning!
