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…

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.

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. What do you think?  And if you’re thinking of re-creating this look on yourself, here’s a few products to consider:

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.

Diane Kruger is no stranger to the red carpet, but what you may not know is that she likes to do her own makeup from time to time.  Her easy, accessible look seen here at the Unknown premiere in NYC was no accident.  “Diane did her own makeup and told me she wanted her hair to look like she did it, too,” said hairstylist Mark Townsend, who created the actress’s low-key bun.

Our favorite thing about her eyes were her subtle, yet sculpted taupe shadow that she swept along her brow bone.  Celebrity tip from makeup artist Beth Bender, “When using an earthy, soft shadow such as taupe, do not powder your eyes before applying, as the color may rub off too quickly.” What did she use to get this beautiful look?  Her Beautiful Browns Smoky Eye Quad from beth bender beauty of course.

Ladies, have you ever had one of those nights where you had too much fun, and then woke up the following morning to tired eyes that paid the party price??

If you answered yes, then you are not alone, but the good news is I have the best concealer evah for fixing your “tired eye blues”. Lucky for me I get to try almost everything that beth is working on, and happened to have a sample of her newest concealer, It’s in the eyes. I dug that little gem out of the bottom of my bag and swiped it on to cover the evidence of my wild night. When I got to work I was met by Te-see, beth’s sister who actually complimented me on how amazing I looked, and asked what I was wearing under my eyes?

Of course I smiled, and was happy to say it was her sisters newest concealer, and then proceeded to tell her how it totally did the job and actually made me look awake and ready to start the day. Hee hee…my secret little beauty weapon.

It’s in the eyes give the eyes a beautiful lift, and smooths the under eye area leaving your eyes looking radiant. Infused with the newest ingredients for plumping, and minimizing wrinkles. It’s available in six shades at the moment, and gives you medium to full coverage. It is free of sulfates, synthetic fragrances, dyes, and Phthalates, but loaded with ingredients like vitamin C, that prevents premature signs of aging, and vitamin E, an antioxidant that acts as an anti-inflammatory emollient.

But the best part of all!! Starting right now through December 6th, beth bender beauty known for their generous gift giving is giving away a full size sample with every purchase! Now that’s what I call a fabulous beauty freebie. The holiday’s are right around the corner, and trust me, you are really going to be wishing you had this fabulous concealer on 3 hours of sleep:-)

Cheers!
