The Beauty Scoop on Creating Lea Michele's Smoky Eyes

I love beth bender beauty’s new Backstage Beauty Smoky Eye Quad. You get everything you need to create super sexy eyes like a pro including a set of eyeshadow stencils. I recommend these eyeshadow stencils to so many of my clients, especially those who don’t have access to a makeup artist.
For creating more depth using a shimmer shadow, start first by applying the color with the pad of your index finger and pressing into the eyelid. Once you have the desired intensity then finish blending and applying color into the crease using a brush. For added drama, apply the pencil inside the waterline—top and bottom. Keep the makeup looking modern by layering color below the crease only. Any more starts to look unhinged.
