Smokey Eyes Contest

Hey, it's a late night and I thought I'd enter into a contest (my very first one) since I love doing a smokey look on myself. This is for rai's celebrity edition: neutral or smokey eye look. Her deadline for the contest is May 29th, central time so you still have plenty of time to join her contest.

My inspiration is Jennifer Lopez. I picked this look esp. due to it's green smokey color... one of my faves to wear.
