Makeup How-To: 3 Easy Steps To a Wearable Smoky Eye

Remember your trusty ol' paint by numbers set from childhood? While we may have outgrown the pastime, we borrowed the idea for a little grown-up inspiration in our March 2011 issue. We broke down some hot eye makeup prettiness step-by-step to make each look totally wearable. Ready for your 3-step guide to our favorite, the wearable smoky eye? Prepare to be your own pro, gals.
OK, first, take a gander at the look (we spotted it on the spring 2011 runways at Just Cavalli).

And now, here's what you need to do in order to steal this look:
Step A
Coat your bottom inner lash line (section 1) with a black liner pencil. If the tip’s too sharp, dab onto a tissue first, suggests MAC makeup guru Gordon Espinet, who created the look at Just Cavalli. Next, prep lids with a balmlike eye cream for easy blending, and rim the top and bottom lash lines (sections 2 and 3) with the same pencil.
Step B
Layer a denim-colored pencil over the black in sections 2 and 3. Then blend the two shades up and over the lid (section 4) and along the bottom lash line with a fluffy shadow brush.
Step C
For more drama, apply a navy cream shadow in the crease (section 5) and blend. Finish with mascara.
Voila! Your final look should come out looking something like this:
