Get Hilary Duff’s Smoldering Purple Smoky Eyeshadow Look In 3 Easy Steps

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?

Olivia Wilde along with the entire cast of Cowboys and Aliens showed up for the red carpet premiere at this years Comic-Con in San Diego. Her western attire and smokin’ eyes got our attention, along with everyone else, and had us wishing for deep set eyes like hers.  Smoky eyes don’t have to set off any alarms in order to get you noticed, and Olivia rocked hers ‘Western style’ using a grey, and charcoal eyeshadow, along with a dark black liner to create her eyes.

To get Olivia’s look we called upon celebrity makeup artist Beth Bender, known for her smoky eyes, and the Get in Line Eyeliner Stencil Kit. “The first thing you want to do is add a base color on the eyelid in a soft gray.  Make sure to apply slightly above the crease before adding your charcoal.  This will help with blending in the darker shadow, and create a softer, sexier eye.  Using the charcoal shadow apply into the crease of eye blending back and forth from the center of eye and out. Sweep the same color under the eyes as well.  To soften the lines apply a light beige, or bisque color using a fuller size eyeshadow brush and blend from the brow bone to the crease. ”Nothing too elaborate, but the combination of colors work really well, and it’s a look that can be done on most skin tones.

To finish, apply either a black gel liner, or waterproof eyeliner in black along the lashline. You can smudge with a Q-tip or brush to diffuse the color, or leave as is.

Mila Kunis’s makeup artist Tracey Levy, created a smoky eye that she calls “a modern take on Sophia Loren” for Kunis’s New York City premiere of Friends with Benefits.  Levy applied a chocolate brown liner along her eyelids, continuing out past the corners of her eyes for an elongated effect, and finished by blending with a trio of shimmer shadows in bronze and golden hues.  The result was super sexy, and perfect for the extremely warm weather New York has been having.

Mila Kunis's Bronzed Smoky Eyes

For an extra ‘Wow’ factor, Tracey layered a black and brown liner to the upper and lower rim of eyes, smudging as she applied the color.  A rich black mascara generously coated each lash to give Mila’s eyes the full effect.  “I took an otherwise natural brown up a notch. I wanted her to have a sexy summer evening look, suited to the city or an island vacation,” says Levy.  We think she did a great job.

Bronzed sun kissed eyes are perfect for summer, and they sizzle up good, day or night. Whether you’re having lunch with your BFF’s, window shopping, cocktails by the pool, or just running out for a coffee, you can’t go wrong, and they look super sexy on any skin tone. This is one of my favorite looks, especially when I have a limited amount of time to pretty myself.

You can use you fingers for a more intense color on the lid before blending, or just use a fuller size brush if you want only a wash of color. For a dramatic winged-out effect, apply the color to the crease and blend upwards towards end of eyebrow.  The SGB Smoky Eyeshadow Kit was used to create the eyes seen here, and now you can get that and 2 more smoky eye kits as part of the Get in Line Eyeliner Anniversary Set. This smoky eye kit has spent as much time on the red carpet as Kim Kardashian’s smoky eyes have, but seriously, so easy to use and the colors will bring an instant smile to your face. I promise.

Gray eye color has become very popular with celebrities lately. Last week Julia Roberts at the Premiere of Larry Crowne, and this week Emma Watson for Harry Potter.  The one thing that is great about using gray eyeshadow is that it can double as a contouring color in your creases as seen here on Emma at a photo call for Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2.

 

I am just loving her hair too, but back to the eyes.  Look at her creases and see how the gray is tucked in there so subtly? That’s shading and it makes your eyes look bigger by creating the illusion of more shadow in the folds of your lids. To finish, the gray shadow was dusted very lightly over the rest of her upper lids,  and then heavier along her bottom lashline.  If you’re into it, give it a try, and check out these products for getting Emma’s look.

It’s an easy eye makeup look to copy on yourself, and one that’s flattering on almost everyone.

At the premiere of Larry Crowne this week in Los Angeles, Julia Roberts played the humidity card and showed us her way to rocking a sultry smoky eye even in the heat.  Rather than going for the super dramatic eye and sweeping shadow up to the brown bone, she kept the color soft and contained along her eyelids to prevent any slippage, or smudging.

Julia Roberts

If you’re eyelids are even shinier in the warmer weather, using an eye primer will absorb excess oil and give your eye shadow extra staying power.  To create Julia’s summer smoky eyes, apply a slate gray powder below the crease of your lids, using a tapping, not a brushing motion. Keep the shadow away from the inner corners of your eyes and repeat the process along your bottom lash line. Your eyes will have a hint of sculpted definition, and your makeup will stay put. Finish by applying a gel eyeliner in Onyx along the top lashline, and using whatever is left on the brush to sweep along the bottom lashes as seen here.
