Leighton Meester gave us ‘smoky eye gals’ an early holiday present, by once again gracing the red carpet with her version of a smoky-cat eye at KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball in Los Angeles.

According to makeup artist beth bender who has worked with Leighton, the look, was all about blending. To re-create, start by brushing an espresso shadow up to the crease, and then using a small brush, blend color up towards the end of the eyebrow. Apply a tight black eyeliner along the top lashline, and blend outwards. To finish, add a dark brown pencil on the bottom lashline, and smudge it upwards.

Another insider secret? “False eyelashes can really add a lot to this look,” says Bender. Depending on how confidant you are, apply either a strip, or individual lash clusters into your natural lashes, and follow with a generous coat of black mascara.
