Get Leighton Meester’s Sleek Smoky Eyes
Posted by Ingrid on November 6th, 2009
Leighton Meester was all eyes at a recent benefit for the New York Public Library. Aside from her stunning dress, a sophisticated, sleek take on dark smudgy eyes was the look created for the red carpet event. With just a hint of glitter and shimmer to bring out the beautiful shape of Leighton’s eyes.
To get Leighton’s look we asked our beauty expert, and creator of the Get in Line Smoky Eye and Stencil Kit to give us her tips on how to create. “This is such a beautiful look on and off the red carpet, and yes ladies you can do it yourself.” To do, start by rimming the eyes with a waterproof black liner like benefit’s BADGal in black, next using a metallic plum shadow apply with a medium size eyeshadow brush into the crease, but not too far above. Use a smoky eye stencil if you are unsure of the shape and placement.
With a slightly fuller brush, sweep a shimmery cobalt blue or blue-violet powder across the entire lid for a faded effect, and sweep along the bottom lashline as well. Curling your lashes will add a touch of glamour, and finish with two generous coats of black mascara. “I have been loving Maybelline’s Pulse Perfection Mascara. Each time I use it, I am amazed at how stunning it makes the lashes look”.
