Amanda Seyfried looking fabulous with sexy eyes

To Get Amanda’s Look:

Start by using an eye primer, Too Faced makes an excellent one.  Lightly pat over your entire lid.  Let dry for a few seconds then cover your entire lid and under your eyes with Beth Bender’s SGB Smoky Eye Kit (using the copper color from the trio).  Then use Beth Bender’s GNO Smoky Eye Kit, just a hint of ‘pinky purple‘ color in a line right above your upper lashline to give your eyes a really interesting shot of color that you don’t really register consciously.

Amanda’s got an ultra-thin ring of black eyeliner so we suggest Perfect Eyes Waterproof and Tear Proof Eyeliner by Too Faced.  Try to get the eyeliner into your lashline while applying it all around your eye.  And last but not least, use BSW’s absolutely favorite mascara…Size Queen Mascara in ‘black’ also from Too Faced to give you the longest lashes evah!   We are telling you, this look will be eye catching…:)

Lea Michele’s makeup artist Melanie Inglessis let us in on the secret to the star’s sultry, but not so stuffy smoky eyes at the Hogan by Karl Lagerfeld cocktail party during Paris Fashion Week: “  Use an alternative color to black, which can be super heavy.

The Beauty Scoop on Creating Lea Michele's Smoky Eyes

Try a periwinkle, gray or brown which will lighten things up.”   She also advises using a shimmer shadow, which is easier to blend than a matte shadow, and for getting the smoky eye look just right, an eyeshadow stencil.

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.

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.

How To Create Long Lasting Smoky Eyes

What Do We Think of Zoe Saldana’s Layered Smoky Eyes?

For the premiere of her new movie The Oranges, Leighton Meester’s makeup artist needed to make sure her smoky eyes would last through a full day of press conferences and a romp down the red carpet.

Leighton Meester's Long Lasting Smoky Eyes

To get Leighton’s eyes just right, first her lids were prepped with an eye primer to give her shadow something to adhere to. Next a shimmery golden peach was layered over a soft beige, and then a taupe shadow was smudged inside her creases for added definition.  The final touch was a soft pink shimmer in the inner corners of her eyes.

The rest of the starlet’s face was kept neutral, leaving Leighton looking like a modern day Audrey Hepburn with her ponytail and bangs. A fresh, natural look was a must.

Hilary Duff is no slouch when it comes to her smoky eyes, and when she is seen sporting them, believe me, you notice them.  I have found this particular look to be perfect for a hot date, first or not, and anytime you feel like going smoky without all of the dark colors.  Take a look at the hotness happening on Hilary Duff’s eyes here thanks to some smoldering purple eyeshadow…

Okay girls, are you ready for another season of super sultry, smoky eyes or not?  Glee star Dianna Agron was when she stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in New York with a smoky cat eye that looked seriously sultry for a hot summer night.  We asked celebrity makeup artist Beth Bender, who happens to know a thing or two about smoky eyes how to create Dianna’s super sexy eyes without looking like a raccoon.

Dianna Agron's Smoky-Cat Eyes

“The first thing to think about especially when doing a look like this is choosing the right color.  The silver shimmer works well, and keeping the color lighter towards the inner eye is smart, says Bender.”  If you decide to use an eyeliner pencil and tend to get shiny, you may want to prime the lids first with an eye primer.  I like to start with a pencil first, and finish with an eyeshadow when creating dramatic eyes like Dianna’s.  Starting with a metallic silver pencil draw an exaggerated outline from the inner corners of the eye,  jutting out slightly toward the temple.  If you’re using only eye shadows to create this look, then try a Cat Eye Stencil to get the perfect shape seen here.  Once you have the cat eye stencil placed where you like it, fill in the shape with a grey shadow, and repeat on the other eye.  Then using a tapered eyeliner brush very carefully so as not to mess up your liner, run your brush along the bottom lashes with your silver shimmer shadow continuing around the inner corner and stopping in the center on top lashline.  You can add a deep charcoal shadow, or black gel liner along the top and bottom lash lines at the outer corners to create dramatic definition.

And that’s it.  Super easy, and really sexy. Don’t you think?  Yes girls, you will be seeing a lot of variations of the famous cat eye this fall so why not have it perfected in time to be your go-to look for fall?
