Smoky Eye Makeup
Smoky Eyes Have Never Been So Simple
With the help of these smoky eye shadow palettes, getting that sultry, come-and-get-me eye makeup look has never been easier. All you have to do is blend the lightest colour just under the brow bone, use the second lightest shade all over the lid (stop at the crease), add the medium dark shadow to the crease (remembering to blend well) and you can deepen the crease and line your eyes with the darkest shadow. See, it's a cinch!
How to Create a Smoky Eye
If you're going out for a night on the town and you want to look your sexiest, the surest way to achieve that look through makeup is with a smoky eye. The standard smoky eye look is created using heavy black or dark charcoal colors, but now cosmetics companies are also creating deep hues of blues and purples to play up your eye color and really make you look irresistible. (Tune in later today to read about the best smoky eye kits.) Here's how to get the look.
Love It or Hate It? Severe Smoky Eyes
How's this for a bold makeup look? French actress Marion Cotillard, who plays Edith Piaf in the upcoming biopic La Vie en Rose, took smoky eyes to a new level at the movie's New York premiere. This certainly isn't everyday eye makeup, but there's something oh-so French about the severe shadow paired with pale lips.
How-To: Christina Hendricks's Shimmery, Smoky Eye Makeup
The third season of Mad Men is set to premiere on Aug. 16, and the show's stars were out to celebrate last night in LA. Normally, we see Christina Hendricks's character, Joan Holloway, decked out in some vivid colors on the show.
How To: Keira's Sultry Smoky Eyes
Keira Knightley looked every inch the starlet as she attended the special Vogue screening of The Duchess, in New York last night. The actress looked typically flawless in a Chanel Haute Couture satin dress and severe side swept hair. Her makeup was a pretty take on the goth glamour trend this season with softly smoky eyes and minimal blush.
2009 American Music Awards: Leona Lewis
The lovely Leona Lewis has, thankfully, recovered from being attacked earlier this year, and she was at her golden girl best on the red carpet tonight. Instead of the gold-toned or smoky eye makeup that usually prevails at awards shows, Leona opted for a bright green shadow that made her eyes stand out beautifully, and she complemented the green with a whisper pink lip and a hint of bronzer on her cheeks. I think the look was lovely, but it wasn't very seasonal.
Love It or Hate It? Kylie's Smoky Eyes
A sultry Kylie Minogue was sharing her style secrets at William Baker's B Boy Underwear launch in London last night. Kylie opted for a rocker-chick look of smoky eyes, silver earrings and a black leather jacket. I love her eye makeup which is dramatic without being too bold, and the shimmery grey shade really picks up the green colour of her eyes.
Which Eye Makeup Look Do You Like Most On Liz Hurley?
Last night at the GQ Awards in London, model, actress, Estee Lauder spokesperson and designer, Liz Hurley arrived on the red carpet looking striking in a pastel powder blue strapless dress with matching blue eye shadow. Her eyes have a smolder to them naturally, but when they're enhanced with black liner and grey, brown or blue shadows they pop even more. Out of these three eye makeup looks below, which do you think looks the loveliest on Liz?
