Sexy Smokey Eyes...

So I recently found out from a MU Guru on YT, that smokey eyes are ment to be gradient. So it should be from darker colour to light colour, starting from the lashline. So everyone that does the smokey eye with the outer corner darker is apparently doing it wrong. According to this guru those smokey eyes have smokey qualities but are not the original smokey eye. LOL anywho I had a go at the original version for a contest. I had to create a sexy smokey eye, the colour i chose was maroon or plum. I think this is a sexy colour, its warm and deep. If I had a car it would be this colour!
