Black eye makeup is a versatile style as it can be worn during the day or for a night on the town. A smoky and glamorous effect can be achieved with a few touches. Read on to learn how to do black eye makeup.

Steps:
1. Apply moisturizer to the entire face, including the delicate eye area. Let the moisturizer dry. Apply your preferred foundation or base as normal. Be sure to apply the base to the eye area as well. If using finishing powder or mineral make up, do not add any to the eyelids.

2. Brush on a neutral eye shadow color over the eyelid when applying black eye makeup. Color may be added later, to the crease of the eyelid. Placing the eye shadow is one way to not cover up the black eye make up.

3. Open the black liquid eyeliner. Bush off any excess liner, until you can see the shape of the eyeliner brush. Too much liquid liner on the brush will cause a clumpy look or it could drip during application.

4. Line the lash line of the upper eyelid with black liquid liner. The black liquid liner will create a solid and straight line of black eye makeup. Apply the black liquid liner yourself, since it can cause a tickling sensation. Use a steady hand to apply the liquid black eyeliner, starting from the inside corner of the eye and moving the hand and brush steadily outward.

5. Apply the liquid liner to the bottom lash line. Start at the outside of the eye, where the line should be the thickest. As you move the eyeliner brush to the inside of the eye, make the line thinner.

6. Repeat the steps on the other eye. Let the liquid eyeliner dry. Touch up any gaps or spaces in the line of liquid eyeliner. For a more dramatic effect, make the black eye make up lines on the outer corner of the eyes thicker than the other lines. Let it dry.

7. Apply a neutral shade of eyeshadow to the eye crease. Use a gray or brown eyeshadow, or any neutral color that complements your eye color. For a smoky effect, apply dark gray shadow the entire eyelid and the crease.

8. Curl the eyelashes with an eyelash curler. Apply a coat of black mascara. Let the mascara dry.
