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.

The Kardashian sisters’ famous for not only their reality shows, but also their men, have also gained media attention with their smoky eyes. While attending the Beach Bunny Swimwear runway show we couldn’t help but notice the three styles of smokiness each of them was sporting.  Each did their own version of a smoky eye, but all eyes were on Kim and Khloe’s.

Big sister Kim’s smoky eyes are so popular that a search on google returns 117,000,000 hits to choose from. How crazy is that, but all true!  Her smoky eyes get almost as much press as she does. In true Kim Kardashian fashion she went for a more heavily lined look, and softened it with gray shadow applied in the crease and on the outer lid.

To finish her signature eyes she added a shimmery beige-pink shadow to the inner corner of her eyelids and blended it with the gray. This instantly opened the eyes for a dreamy, eye popping effect.

The most dramatic of the three was definitely Khloe.

She went for a straight all-or-nothing black-rimmed and lined eye all done with a jet-black pencil. Just a soft wash of a charcoal shadow was applied to the outer corner with a winged, almost cat like point. To set the eyeliner underneath the eye she used a soft taupe shadow which acted as a veil to catch any bleeding liner.

Three sisters, three smoky eyes. Who knew they would carry so much weight in the world of beauty!
