Color Focus: Smokey Eyes Part 2 (Smokey Greys & Blacks)

June 23, 2009

After organizing of all my eyeliners, I decided to divide the blacks into two groups, Smokey Greys/Blacks and Black/Golds. I’ve also decided to use a few shades as a baseline which I feel are true blacks so you may see some repeats in the next few posts.

includes the greys and true blacks.
