I just find this look so sexy. I don’t know what it is about a heavily loaded eyelid but each time I see one I am drawn to how gorgeous it really is. The fact that actress Gemma Arterton happens to be stunning probably helps too, but something about  a mega-smoky cat eye just seems extra-fabulous to me on any occasion or red carpet.

At Rachel Roy Spring 2011 fashion show, beauty was kept clean and shimmery, with a boldly lined eye and a twisted bun.

MAKEUP: Bobbi Brown for Bobbi Brown
HAIR: Bok-hee for Redken

THE LOOK: Entrenched in Natural Beauty

THE BSW SCOOP: This season Rachel Roy reinterpreted the classic trench, in shades of khaki and with beautiful detailing. Makeup looked fresh and natural,  with black gel eyeliner in a cat eye style applied thickly to the top lid. With the hair, natural wisps barely touched the face, while the back was twisted into a bun.

GET THE LOOK-MAKEUP: Bobbi Brown and her team of artists created the look starting with Flawless and Natural Foundation, followed by Face Highlighter Pen in Pal as the blush. The eyes were the focus of the look, Black Ink Gel Liner was applied heavily on the upper lid only, and finished with a bit of the Beige Shimmer Brick above the gel liner.  Mascara in black was applied generously to the top lashes. Lips were kept neutral with a beige lip color.

GET THE LOOK-HAIR: All products by Redken. Bok-hee started with a blow-out, working Full Frame Mousse 07 throughout the hair to give great fullness, and blowing side to side for no part. The part is pulled in from the sides, with a tinge of volume left on top. Create the bun with your hands and twist it, slightly, holding in place while securing hair with bobby pins. Make sure the bottom underneath the bun is tight, and leave a few wisps sticking out. Finish the look with Forceful 23 Super Finishing Spray.

Aside from being a hot celebrity, singer, and now actress to add to her list, Fergie can really rock a smoky eye. Seen here on the Miami Dolphins Orange Carpet over the weekend looking a bit shiny, but with the high humidity it’s almost impossible to be shine free. Anyway it’s her smoky eyes we want to talk about and how much we love them!

It’s a great smoky eye look. Don’t believe us? Take a closer look:

Fergie's Sexy Smoky Eyes Close Up

She’s got a shimmery champagne shimmer on the inner corners, a taupe shimmer on the outer half of her eyes, and a coffee shimmer in her creases for shading. She finished by adding a tight brown gel eyeliner along the lash line which creates depth and makes the bed of her lashes look even thicker. The colors are soft, but when blended together they look beautiful and Miami appropriate for the tropical weather.

If you’re thinking of trying this fabulous look on yourself,  we’ve got a few color suggestions for you below:
