Here’s what I love about this tutorial. Lisa Eldridge, who made the video, carries out the steps as she’s telling you what to do.

If you get the perfect dramatic smokey eye, you might realize that it isn’t the right look for just any occasion. That’s where this video comes in. Christina Rose will show you how to get a sexy smokey eye that you can show off anywhere you go, any time of the day. Sounds great to me!
Here’s a really detailed video that will show you how to carry out a really beautiful smokey eye with eyeliner.
