SMOKY METALLIC EYES

Smoldering smoky eyes in metallics

A little metallic shadow is sometimes all it takes for eyes to go from smoky to smoldering.  Case in point, at the Roberto Cavalli show models were adorned in the most smoldering, smoky, ‘I dare you to look away eyes’ that we have ever seen.

Weeks later and we are still talking about them, cause’ that’s how outstanding they were!  To create your own version of these beauties we asked our own makeup pro, Beth Bender to give us her best tips.

First rim the eyes with a black liner.  I love the new Too Faced Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencils, they stay on for hours and the colors look amazing.

Next, brush a dark brown matte shadow into the crease and under the eyes too. I like to use a blender brush and with a windshield wiper motion go back and forth from the outer eye crease to the middle making sure to blend really well.

Finish by sweeping a copper/bronze shade with a hint of shimmer directly onto the eyelid area and underneath from the inner eye to the center of eye as seen here in this picture. Check out beth bender beauty’s Beautiful Browns Smoky Eye Quad, or the SGB Smoky Eyeshadow Kit to make eyes pop—and hearts stop.

Beth’s Beauty tip: Make sure you blend the copper/bronze shadow into the dark brown so that there are no hard lines between the two colors and the eyes look flawless.

Sienna Miller is known for her iconic sense of style—she’s a trend setter not a trend follower, or as we like to call it “a dancer to her own drum.”

So when she arrived at the Moet & Chandon Etoile Awards, honoring Mario Testino in London we weren’t surprised to see her break the beauty rule of eyes or lips, but not both. Miller’s strong smoky eye paired perfectly with her brick red lips and didn’t seem severe or overdone.

To re-create the look for your next big night take the actress’s lead: Create a perfectly smooth canvas for your skin, keep your blush subtle, your hair polished and simple and make sure you’re wearing a neutral color like white, black or nude.

To do a smoky eye like Sienna’s, and without all of the steps that can feel overwhelming, try using a smoky eye stencil.  Click here to see how they work.
