" If you, like us, have never quite perfected the art of the &amp;#039;smokey eye&amp;#039;, then REJOICE - because never again will you have to look like a panda left out in the rain. In fact, your eyes are going to be SMOULDERING (just in time for New Year&amp;#039;s Eve) once you follow this step by step guide from make-up artist Hannah Cox.  Seriously, she makes it all seem rather easy. Step 1: Prepare your canvas  First, apply your base (that means whack on some foundation, to non-professionals like us). Hannah also suggests dabbing a touch of concealer at the inner corner of each eye and has a top tip for those who have partied too hard this Christmas.  &amp;quot;If you want to hide dark circles under your eyes, use a concealer with a yellow tone to it,&amp;quot; she told us. &amp;quot;This will combat the greyey, purple tinge of bags, and give the illusion that you&amp;#039;ve had a good night&amp;#039;s sleep!&amp;quot; Step 2: Choose your base colour   Use a dark grey eyeshadow as the base for your smokey eye, - sweeping it over the lid, but stopping just short of the inner corner.  &amp;quot;Make sure you blend the colour into your eyesocket with a brush,&amp;quot; advises Hannah. &amp;quot;And use a lighter grey if you&amp;#039;re going for a less dramatic look.&amp;quot; Step 3: Add some shading   Now take a lighter shade of eyeshadow - Hannah chose a silver to keep things sparkly for New Year&amp;#039;s Eve - and apply to the inner corner of your eye, making sure you blend it into your base colour, as shown in the photo above. Step 4: Line it up   Eyeliner - the stage that always strikes fear into our kak-handed hearts. Hannah has some advice for keeping things simple though. &amp;quot;If you&amp;#039;re not comfortable with liquid eyeliner, stick to pencil,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;Draw a thin line from the halfway point of your upper lid to the outer corner, then do the same on the lower lash line. &amp;quot;Smudge the eyeliner underneath your eye with a brush or your little finger to add to that smokey look.&amp;quot; Stage 5: Finishing touches   After whacking on some heavy lashings of mascara, Hannah has a top tip to make your eyes POP even more. &amp;quot;Apply some highlighter under your brow line, then blend some more of the darker grey eyeshadow right up to the top of your eyesocket, where the highlighter ends,&amp;quot; she says.  &amp;quot;Once that&amp;#039;s done, get ready to see in 2013 in style, with the perfect smokey eye!&amp;quot; Well there you go, who knew it could be so easy? Will you be trying out this look for your New Year&amp;#039;s Eve party tonight?
