If you're a woman who loves styles that add a sense of mystery and intrigue, dark eye makeup is definitely the way to go. Believe it or not, men go wild over women who have dark, smoky eyes. On the other hand, it's easy to go a little overboard with the eye cosmetics, something you'll want to avoid.

When you're choosing your eye makeup, try to find colors that will suit your natural skin tone. A color that looks great on your friend might not look so hot on you. Consider your hair color, skin color, and eye color to make this decision.

At the same time, don't be afraid to do a little experimenting. Feel free to break some of the rules, mix and match, and just have fun! Experiment with different colors and choose shades that you think will draw attention to your eyes in a dramatic way.

If you have a limited budget, you can just stick with plain charcoal and dark grey since they're neutral enough to go with different outfits. Otherwise, you may want to buy a bunch of different eye makeup sets. This gives you more versatility, letting you match your eye makeup with the colors in your outfits.

Having those colors in your makeup kit will start you off on the right foot if you want to create a smoky eye look. Smoky eyes are very popular with good reason! Men go crazy for a smoky eye and other women will want to emulate you.

Now here's some good news: You're going to have an edge over other women, because most of them are too intimidated to try dark eye makeup. It helps to have the confidence to use it. But once you put that dark eye makeup on, you'll start feeling more confident already! It's a big pay off.

But don't go to extemes! If you go too crazy with the dark markup, your look may end up being less than attractive. So before you step out of the house, check with your family to see what they think of your makeup. Ask if you've put on too much, or if you could use a little more, or if you got the look just right. Their honesty can save you from making a blunder.

Wearing dark eye makeup is a great decision if you want to stand out. Don't waste your time wearing the same makeup day in and day out. Choose colors that are fun and complement your skin tone, and you'll have a beautiful look that is truly desired.
