Sophia's smoky eyes

Celebrity makeup artist beth bender of beth bender beauty, Los Angeles calls Sophia's smoky eyes a "more modern approach for summer. Still extremely sexy but created with metallic shadows". "It's a fresh change from the heavier eye that we saw throughout most of the fall and winter" says bender.

To get the look beth suggests trying a palette in bronze and gold tones. The newest palettes for spring and summer like SGB are perfect for creating a gorgeous summer smoky eye. Contour the crease of eye with the darkest bronze shade and blend with the two lighter shades for the perfect application. Not sure about the smoky eyes, no worries each kit comes with a set of stencils that do the work for you. So easy to use, you'll be a pro in no time.

Remember to blend the colors especially in the crease. For some extra pow, line under the eyes using the deep bronze shimmer and smudge with your fingers or brush for a sexy, sultry look. If you're a gal that likes to line her eyes with a contrasting color use a gel eyeliner in either dark brown or rich black and line along your lashes as close to the lash line as possible. Before it dries smudge slightly with a Q-tip to soften the line. Try Onyx or Cocoa Stay Put Gel Liner.

To finish the look add two coats of Dior Show Mascara in Black and keep the lips sheer with a touch of color in Firefly, a sheer mauve-nude.

Get The Look-Star Beauty

Charlize Theron was a bronze goddess at the Paris premiere of Hancock. Her look was “all about the eyes” says celebrity artist beth bender. “Her coloring was such a beautiful compliment to the bronze tones used to contour her eyes and cheeks”.

To get Charlize’s look start by applying a sheer foundation, or tinted moisturizer to the face. Use a sponge for more coverage and a brush for a softer application. We love Vincent Longo’s New Light canvas Tinted Moisturizer. Apply a touch of powder to the T-zone if you tend to get shiny, otherwise skip and go right to the bronzing powder in Just Peachy from beth bender beauty.

Use the Get in Line Smoky Eye Trio in SGB, a must have eyeshadow palette for creating eyes as sexy as Charlize’s. Brush the Golden Beige shade onto the eyelid and contour the crease of eye with deep bronze. Mix the deep bronze and golden tan together and line underneath eye as seen here on Charlize. Use Stay Put Gel Liner in Onyx, and line the eyes with a flat tapered brush. Make sure to line as close to the lashline as possible.

Finish the eyes with Black Diorshow mascara. A must have beauty item for lashes that command attention on and off the red carpet.

Brush on Vincent Longo Velvet Riche lip color in Hush Delight and finish with Sunset Liquid Lip Glaze from beth bender beauty.

Your red carpet ready baby!
