SEXY SMOKY EYES THAT ROCK!!


MAKE A SPLASH WITH SILVER SHIMMER EYES



Katherine McPhee shows us how gorgeous a rich silver liner can look. “The secret to doing these beautiful eyes is to create a gradual transition from a sheer lavender to a smoky gray on your lids” say beth bender of beth bender beauty.

To get the look bender suggests starting with a thin layer of opalescent lavender cream shadow and applying over your lids. Apply along your lower lashes and the inner corner of eyes too. Next, lightly brush a shimmery gray powder shadow from the outer corners to the middle of your lids. Sweep the same color underneath the eye as seen here on Katherine. Using a lighter shade of silver, line along the inner rims for extra glisten.

GOLDEN EYES

GET THE LOOK: Makeup artist Beth Bender of beth bender beauty says to create Kristin Bell’s look use a little of what will be hot for fall “I did smoky eyes with a touch of metallic to pop this fall’s earthy hues,” she says. “On her bright blue eyes they looked really gorgeous!”

INSIDER TRICK: Bender applied Cocoa Brown (a warm brown) and Bronze-Gold cream shadows to the entire eye. “I blended them onto the eyelid and around the entire eye into an almond shape,” she says. “Then I went over with a shimmer shadow in Ginger.” She finished the eyes with DiorShow mascara, one of her very favorite’s and a few knot-free lash clusters from Ardell. “They look the most natural and are much easier to apply when doing yourself” says Bender.
