Bring out your inner Hollywood Starlet with this stunning, and spotlight-grabbing colored smoky eye. A look we will be seeing a lot of at this Sunday’s 2010 Oscars, and every fashion site, magazine, and celebrity show to follow.

Create smoldering smoky eyes that are sure to have heads turning. Not just your ordinary smoky eyes, smoky eyes with an edge. To get the look, start by applying Eye Shadow in Gunmetal-Gray from the BFF Trio across eyelid and blending up into the crease. Sweep the same color along lower lashline, and using the Rich Smoke shade apply in the upper outer corners for an ultra dramatic look. Complete the look by lining upper lashline and inner rim of eyes with BADgal Waterproof Eye Liner in Black.
Keep your lips soft and sheer, so the focus is on the eyes. Apply XXX Luscious Lip Plumping Gloss in Baby Doll with applicator for perfectly polished lips.

Creating a seductive look on or off the red carpet begins with a jaw dropping red lip, warm skin and extremely dreamy eyes.

Create flawless-looking skin by applying My Secret Weapon Luminizer & Foundation Primer in light, and follow with your foundation. Sweep Sweet Cheeks Blush in Glow (a soft peach hue with gold undertones) over cheeks for a hint of color.
Have heads spinning with a subtle wash of Champagne Shadow in Madison & 61st, from the Just Kidding Eyeshadow Palette. Apply a tight black liner along the top lashes, and finish by lining the upper and lower lashline with Coffee Bean Shimmer from the Just Kidding Palette.
2 coats of waterproof, or water-resistant mascara in black will do just fine, and for a classic red lip, apply a generous coat of XXX Luscious Lip Plumping Gloss in Cherry Red. For a more defined lip, use a cranberry, or red lip pencil and apply along the lip line, and slightly into the lip before adding the gloss. You can also apply the lip pencil over the entire lip for even longer lasting color.

A smoldering smoky eye always rules the red carpet. This year why not make it modern by pairing with bronzed cheeks and a glossy nude lip.

Warm and even out skin by applying My Secret Weapon Luminizer & Foundation Primer in #2 all over. Apply Foundation only where needed to even out complexion, and finish by dabbing It’s in The Eyes Concealer over any imperfections. Give the cheeks a soft flush with Sweet Cheeks Blush in Baby.
For The Eyes, softly smudge the Gunmetal shade from The Get in Line Smoky Eye Palette in BFF around the upper and lower lashlines. Using a medium size brush, blend the dark Gray shade from Eye Shadow Trio from lashline to crease, concentrating color at the outer corners. Blend the same shade along lower lashline with a smudge brush, and softly sweep a touch of the pale silver shimmer above the crease and blend well. Complete the eyes with two very generous coats of your favorite Mascara in Black.

Finish the Oscar Look with perfect nude lips by applying XXX Luscious Lip Plumping Gloss in Delilah.

Anna Paquin fly’s under the paparazzi radar in Hollywood, but every once in a while she is spotted attending an event, and she always looks beautiful. Like at the Costume Designer’s Guild Awards held in Los Angeles, where it was hard not to notice her striking eyes.  Since it was the Costume Designer’s Guild Awards, her makeup artist, Monica Blunder felt she needed to step the makeup up a notch.

So, she started by rimming Paquin’s lids with a black waterproof eye pencil, and then blended an olive shadow on the outer corners of her top and bottom lashes. “The dress had a hint of green—I wanted to achieve that same color on her eyes,” said Blunder. She finished the eyes with a full strip of false lashes for even more drama, and we give this look a BSW red carpet thumbs up!

So many beautiful looks graced this years Fall Fashion Week In New York, and thanks to the experts who created many of these looks, we too can know first hand just how to get them. At the Oscar de la Renta Show “It’s a 1980s cosmetic ad meets today,” said makeup artist Gucci Westman whose look was a full made-up face worthy of any runway.

To get the gorgeous, golden-brown eye, Westman used Revlon ColorStay Eye Shadow Quad in Coffee Bean, and applied the color above the brow bone layering from lightest to darkest.

Hair stylist Odile Gilbert looked to Blondie for the loose textured look she styled at 3.1 Phillip Lim. For voluminous, matte curls, Gilbert first applied Phyto Professional Intense Volume Mousse before blowing out and curling the hair. The look was quite beautiful, and we thought very feminine.

Estée Lauder made its fashion week debut at Derek Lam with one of the hottest trends we are seeing for fall: brown lips. Who knew? The brand’s creative makeup director and master artist, Tom Pecheux, used Pure Color Crystal Lipstick in Crystal Beige and dusted the same copper shadow used on the eyes, (due out this fall), over the mouth for a metallic finish.

At Zac Posen, Odile Gilbert channeled the downtown Chelsea girl with soft, touchable waves. She spritzed L’Oréal Professionnel Texture Expert Freezing Mist to keep it all in place.

The strong, navy blue eye that Tom Pecheux created at Chado Ralph Rucci looked so chic. Want to do it yourself it?  Try beth bender beauty’s Most Wanted Runway Eye’s Eyeliner Kit using the Cat Eyeliner Stencil to create.

James Kaliardos kept the focus on the eyes at Diane von Furstenberg with the gorgeous, opalescent butterfly effect he created with shades of blue, plum, and silver shadows. For a similar, more wearble effect, try the Good Girl, Gone Bad Eye Palette from beth bender beauty.

Lucia Peroni beautifully accented the eyes with metallic shades of gold and silver at Jason Wu. To get a similar effect, try MAC Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Filament and Goldmine, and opt for using your fingers to apply instead of an eyeshadow brush.

Celebrity lash expert, Stephen Moleski, who fitted Underwood with a pair of lashes for the Grammys, will also be custom designing a pair for her wedding day. “She wore my lashes to the Grammys and fell in love with them,” said Moleski. “For her wedding day we decided to create a custom pair based on her favorite elements of existing styles.” The special set will be a mix of Moleski’s New York, Nashville, and Miami lashes which retail for $13.50 each.

A little pricey for false lashes, but if they can make my eyes look like Carrie’s I may just have to indulge myself. “The lashes are a tapered feathered lash, so shorter on the inside corner, and thick and fluffy everywhere else,” says Moleski, and as soon as Underwood and Fischer tie the knot, the lashes will available to purchase on Moleski’s site, smokeandmirrorsbeauty.com.

Kisses from the Red Carpet

At the Armani Prive Haute Couture fashion show in Paris, Anne Hathaway sported a fresh, modern eyeliner that brought back fabulous memories of her role in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’.

To get the look, celebrity makeup artist Beth Bender says start by lining the rim of your eyes and dotting in between the lashes using a waterproof eyeliner pencil like benefit’s BADGal  Waterproof liner in black. You can smudge or leave alone depending on what works for you. Then, using an eyeliner stencil, place above your eye and with a small eye shadow brush, sweep the color along line. Repeat the same underneath the eye using the bottom eyeliner stencil. This will keep the color as close to the lash line as possible like Anne’s, and will prevent it from bleeding.

If you prefer your liner a little thicker at the ends, go over the liner starting at the middle of eye and out towards the end. Set with an eyeliner sealant or go over the liner with a gel liner. To complete the “Anne Hathaway Look”, apply at least one, or two generous coats of black mascara, starting at the base of lashes and working your way to the tips. Try the NEW Pulse Perfection Mascara from Maybelline.

Beth Bender’s beauty tip: The trick to getting them just right says Beth is to “make sure to always use a freshly sharpened eye pencil when lining the inner rims of your eyes.” Using a powder shadow, liquid liner, or an unsharpened pencil can irritate your eyes and spread infections which nobody likes.
