You are the absolute best at explaining colors and shapes to us. It’s like taking a makeup class. Thank you so much!

[Yannidayogi]

This smoky eye is really nice! You’re whole look is giving me dope grunge vibes. I really appreciate the education you laid on us because it really is helpful. I’d really like to see how you would execute a smoky eye using red, gold, and black or deep dark brown. Just a suggestion so no pressure 🤣🤣

[fluffychick]

Stunning. I was intimidated by the smoky eye....not anymore!

[patriciarenaudie]

Per usual, a great tutorial for smoky eyes...your ability to teach concisely is marvelous. I never tire watching your tutorials!

[mmcjrc]

Many of us have palettes (eye), and most you tubers only show 1 tutorial. Could you do 5 looks from one palette? Not sure which palette, which do you feel is most purchased? Thank you, you are so talented and your wording is so educational, I simply love your channel!

[franzabananza]

Thank you for having us double lid people in mind

[ariellewaks]

Thank you for telling us how to modify the technique for different eye shapes (like hooded eyes) and complexion!

[bonnieleggat]

This helped me so much for my look for a Valentine date later, thank you so much ❤️

I'm so happy that I found your channel! 💕

Your videos are amazing, you are very creative and you are an awesome "teacher" compared to a lot of others on the platform when it comes to explaining the techniques and such! I've learnt so much from watching just a couple of your videos! 💕

Your looks are so classy and glamorous! 😍

Most looks in the tutorials we see these days are so bright, colorful, trendy or just simply boring. Your looks are timeless, they are interesting and they suit most people!

I appreciate your work so much! I rarely find youtubers that I want to subscribe to, but I subscribed to you! 💕

Also I love that you get straight to the point, no drama and everything you say is relevant to the video! This is very rare these days! You remind me of the early youtubers that inspired me back in 2009 who made me want to become a makeup artist. I have been a makeup artist for many years now and I thought I knew most things until today when I discovered your channel! haha ♥️

I'm so excited, I wish I discovered your channel earlier 😭♥️

Sorry about this long comment, you just made my day and I am so happy 😅💕

OMFG this is literally the best smokey eye tutorial ever! 😍

[blondie]

You are literally the only Beauty YouTuber that I watch. I used to watch so many

[natashabruce]

Such good info! Just found out I should be wearing cool toned makeup and you totally hit the nail on the head! Love your personality as well.

So glad you discussed the choice of colors and considerations for skin tone, hair, etc. I’m pretty light-skinned but not fair, with dark blonde hair but light eyebrows and gray-green eyes. Also deep-set eyes. So every time I’ve tried to do a brown Smokey eye, I feel like I’ve made myself look like a skull and that’s not what I’m going for haha! I’ll try to reach for some taupes and build up from lighter to darker over a few days to see where the “sweet spot” is!

[rainakumar]

Recreated this and it looked GORGEOUS also loved the information at the beginning

[bedriddenbeauty]

Totally a perfect example of a classic smokey eye. Spot on with how to best flatter with the right colors. Only thing I would say is that it totally depends on what you are wearing too. My favorite smokey eyes are with jewel tones and metallics, but you absolutely can just use one color and blend it out. The classic smokey eye I always go from the darkest color on the lid, then blend the mid tone right above the crease, then into the lightest shade. Repeat on lower lashline. Sometimes liner then darkest over it, depending on colors I'm using.

Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with the Smokey eye!

[elliehumphris]

Loved this tutorial! Have a Christmas party on Wednesday and I am damn well going to try this... I am completely intimidated by smoky eyes and red lips (not together lol... just as individual looks)... luckily I have medium skin tones, dark hair and eyes so I got a burgundy 9 Mac Palette and I am praying 🙏🏼 that I can pull this off with a nude lip. Thank you for using a mix of high end and drugstore products... especially for us Aussie girls as makeup over here is bloody ridiculously priced. Unless you get it on special a L'Oréal lipstick will set you back $25. You made this look easy so I may do a trial run tonight and even use the lashes (as they always work better for me on the second outing). Love your channel. Would love to see a no makeup makeup look (like secret makeup if you know what I mean?)

[elexene]

Is it just me, or does anyone else look forward to her say "hey guys welcome back to my channel" idk why

[auntmaddie]

The lower lash line intimidates the hell out of me. This is an amazing tutorial! Thank you for all the info!

[shilohivy]

I had a total lens replacement and I promise you that they won’t blind you, (trust me girl I had these same fears) along with a high myopia I had a cataract (from an injury). I went from a -12.5 to a -2. Worth it.
