Not for the faint of heart and making a very powerful statement, this intentionally imperfect black grease paint eye is reminiscent of the rock n roll era and also draws inspiration from surrealist artist Man Ray. I love how the smudged lines and messy mascara creates heavy impact as well as a definite modern perspective on some very memorable retro inspired looks. If you are brave enough to want to try this, begin by painting on any jet black grease paint eye shadow (those sold for Halloween are perfect!) and smudge around eye lids, crease, and underneath lower lashes. Don't worry if the edges aren't blended perfectly or if it begins to break up a bit. This is definitely a more gritty effect and the more the makeup creases the better. For added drama you can fill in the inner line of your eyes with black kohl pencil as well. Add a few coats of black mascara and get ready to ROCK IT!
