Spring Beauty Trends

Red Carpet Style Watch

Pearlescent eye shimmers for spring

As we begin the spring season look for lots of light eye shimmers on the red carpet. As seen here on Leighton Meester who very confidently is batting a sparkling shimmery eye and looking quite beautiful.

To get Leighton’s look start by lining the inside of eyes with a soft deep purple eyeliner. Try Black purple 6L $16, from Make Up Forever. With the same pencil line the corners of eyes and blend into lashline. For a more dramatic look make the outer corners thicker as seen here on Leighton.

Next using a shimmer cream shadow apply over your entire eyelid and along the lower lashline. Use your fingers to do both. Try Lilac Opalescence, $16 from beth bender beauty.

Finally, finish by sweeping a golden beige shimmer shadow into the crease using a blender brush for a perfect application. Try Ambra Eye Dust, $16 from beth bender beauty.

When Smoky Eyes Aren’t Smoky

Smoky eyes when overdone can sometimes become overpowering as in the case of Hayden Panettiere and Sharon Stone, see here sporting smoky eyes some might call raccoon eyes.

To avoid this look make sure to only apply eyeshadow onto the eyelid and blend into the crease of eye so that the color is slightly above the crease. Do not apply a dark color into the corner of eye and high above the crease as seen here on Sharon Stone. Instead use a lighter shade and blend with the darker color for a more polished look.

Avoid heavy thick eyeliner around the entire eye. Instead line the eyes so that the outer part of the eye is thickest and becomes more tapered as you get closer to the inner corner of eye, as seen here below on Hilary Duff.

If you’re using a Gel eyeliner or pencil to line the eyes you can set the color with an eyeshadow of the same color or a lighter shade. This will also soften the line and give the eyes a more sultry look. Not sure where to place the color? Having trouble trying to get the smoky eye look?
