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.

Good luck!

This weekend why not recreate Amanda Seyfried’s sexy hot eyes at home before going out on the town.  Think it’s hard?  Well, follow BSW’s quick & easy step by step instructions to make your eyes look smokin’ now!

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…:)

Scarlett Johansson Reveals One Of Her Beauty Secrets

We could get bogged down by many things in this picture of Katy Perry coming out of a taping of the X Factor in London.  We could talk about her pink hair color, her retro hairstyle, the fact that her roots are showing, her pink nails.  But then we’d be ignoring the most important and awesome thing going on here, and that’s her eye makeup.

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.
