Oh you know everyone is going to be rocking the smoky eye this holiday season. It’s the time of year you can pack it on and look, well, glamorous rather than over done. But for this holiday, the smoky eye is different. How? Color. You usually think muddy browns, and blacks for creating the look. Not anymore, that’s so early 2000. Now? It’s a color that’s involved in there somewhere..and a new placement…
First off: Color
like gray try Thunderball from Nars
Or even gold…Duwop in Lava
or my favorite, dark forest green.
and even blue
The trick is to keep the lashes and pencil around the lashes darker than your shadow. A black pencil + mascara with a gray shadow applied up to the brow. Go too dark and you’ll start looking like an extra in a vampire sequel. Grays are my favorite shades for this look.. more mysterious… Trick: Apply gray shadow to your eye lid, and then blend up. Need more? Apply again to the eye lid and blend up each time… that way you get a gradation that fades to the brow bone and won’t look like one big mass of dark…
Try Kat Von D in Motorhead
Too much? Try just rimming the lashes with pencil, gray shadow and mascara,keeping the lids and bone clean…. or adding a touch of white sparkle shadow on the bone for that ‘snowflake’ look.. a more classic smoky eye…
