When it comes to colorful eye makeup, overdoing it is an understatement, and can make the difference between looking like a circus clown, or getting it just right as in the case of Rachelle Lefevre seen here. To get this look it’s always best to layer the color so you get the perfect application.

Our resident make-up artist and beauty expert Beth Bender suggests starting first by lining your eyes with a waterproof black pencil, her favorite is benefit’s BADgal eyeliner, followed by a bright blue pencil. Continue by sweeping your choice of a violet-blue matte or shimmer shadow over your lids. “Shimmer shadows are alot easier to work with and for first timers will be easier to blend if the color becomes too intense” say Beth. “I like to use my Big Sexy Eyes Kit because you can build the color and the shimmers are easier to apply.”

Make sure to avoid getting too close to the brows, which can end up looking very theatrical and definitely not glamorous. To finish your red carpet look you can dust a little silver shadow on the inner corners of eyes and below the bottom lashline to brighten your eyes.

Beth’s Beauty Tip: “I like to use my fingers to apply the first layer of color, especially if it’s a shimmer and then go back and blend with a brush”.  Use a Q-tip with a drop of eye cream to clean up any eyeshadow that may have fallen, and before applying concealer. You can add a few individual lashes at the ends of each eye for added glamour.”
