Want this sexy sultry look for Valentine’s Day?  It’s easy using Beth Bender’s Cat Eye and Smoky Eye Stencil Kit and Long Wear Lip Shine.

First take the cat eye stencil and place it just above your eye lid.  Fill in the stencil using the black eye shadow.  For a darker richer black that lasts all day into night, try wetting the fatter part of the applicator brush with a bit of water then dab it into the black shadow.  Once your stencil is filled with shadow, remove stencil for the perfect cat eye.

To get Amanda’s complete eye look, use the flip side of the smoky stencil to do your bottom lid.  Place slightly under your lower lid then apply black shadow starting from the inner eye and continuing to where the upper and lower eye lids meet at the outer part of your eye.

If you find a dark black smoky eye too intimidating (or just too severe for your taste) take a page from Katie Holmes’ book at the Mission Impossible premiere in New York City.  We loved the way she layered slate gray shadows with silver metallic to create a dimensional eye that was dramatic but not over the top.

To get the look, celebrity makeup artist Beth Bender says, “start with a pale silver shadow and sweep across your eyelid and the inner corner of eyes.  Glide a hint of silver underneath your lashline too.  Using a flat liner brush, tap an outline of a deeper shade of gray over your outer eye, focusing more on the crease, and add a few false lashes to complete the look.”

Simply, sexy, and extremely effective!

Trend to Try Now: Metallic Smoky Eyeshadow

Kat Dennings, star of 2 Broke Girls, lights up the party circuit with metallic lids in exuberant color combinations.

MAKEUP HOW-TO: After rimming Dennings’s eyes with black powder liner, celebrity makeup artist Beth Bender traced it across lids, then smudged it with her fingers. “You want to create a base for the shadow,” she says.  She then applied a *black iridescent shadow over the lids and underneath lower lash lines—and dotted lids with black-silver glitter. “If particles fall on your face, use a piece of scotch tape to blot them off,” says Bender, who kept lips soft with a pale pink hue.

SMOKY EYE NOTE: Not sure about the smoky eye shape?  Try using a smoky eye stencil which does the work for you.  Simply place over your eyelid and fill in with color.  Once you’ve got the desired shape continue by applying your *iridescent black shadow.

Start out by gently dabbing an eye shadow base on your entire eye lid.  Take the dark plum shimmer apply it on your lid and along your bottom lash line.  Then apply the pink-beige shimmer in the crease of your eye gently blending it.  Rim your entire eye using the black shadow from Beth Bender’s Original Smoky/Cat Eye Kit.  To get a deeper darker black line, try wetting the brush before applying the shadow.  Finish your eyes using TooFaced Size Queen Mascara.

Let’s talk about a really easy makeup trick, shall we? See if you can spot it on Nicole Richie here.

What we’d like for you to pay attention to is what’s happening in the creases of her eyes.

Oh, so you think you’ve tried every smoky eye combination in the entire world?  Well, maybe you have, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check out this one Keira Knightley wore to the premiere of “A Dangerous Method” in London.  It’s not one you see everyday, but this girl rocked it all the way down the red carpet.

All you’d have to do is line your inner rims with a black pencil, we love Too Faced Perfect Eyes Waterproof-Tearproof Eyeliner, dust your pewter eyeshadow along your bottom lashline and on your upper lids up to the crease, and then add a soft plum in the fold and up slightly toward your eyebrows.  Simple enough.  Any of you feeling inspired?  Well we hope so!

Scarlett Johansson can’t live without hers, Nicole Richie has one in every bathroom, and Angelina Jolie gave a stencil kit to each one of her assistants last Christmas.

To win you must be a subscriber, and leave a comment below telling us why you need this collection.  The contest ends on Friday October 28th at midnight, so run, don’t walk and be the lucky winner to be sporting gorgeous eyes like a pro.

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.

Get Sexy Smoky Eyes using Beth Bender Beauty

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…:)
