Dramatic Smoky Eyes

Halle Berry’s Holiday Smoky Eyes

This mom-to-be plays up her natural glow with shimmering metallic shadow, flawless skin and pale pink gloss. To get this look make-up artist Beth Bender says start with the eyes first and then move on to the face and lips.

For a smoky eye try a dark silver shimmer and apply to the entire eyelid making sure to blend up into crease. Try Bellatrix Eye Dust, $16 at bethbenderbeauty. For longer lasting color apply with a damp brush. Get a perfect smoky eye using the Get in Line Eyeliner Kit. Hold the stencil in place over the eye and fill in with color. Use the bottom eyeliner stencil for lining the bottom eye. Smudge with your brush for a softer line as seen here on Halle.

For an even more dramatic eye add a little gel liner in Onyx right along the lash line making the line slightly thicker at the ends. Finish with two coats of mascara. Try Here To Stay Mascara, $19.50 at Prescriptives.com. It lifts, separates, and defines for lashes that are gorgeous!

Keep the face sheer. I like using a tinted moisturizer because it gives you coverage without leaving your skin feeling heavy. Apply with a brush for very sheer coverage and a sponge if you prefer more. Try Laura Mercier’s Flawless Face Tinted Moisturizer, $42 at Lauramercier.com.

Finish with a lip gloss in either a pink beige or a pale pink. Try Paris is Burning Liquid Lip Color, or Ooh Baby Liquid Lip Color both $16 and available at beth bender beauty.

More Sexy Cat Eyes Please

It seems as though some Hollywood celebs just can’t get enough of this frisky feline trend. It’s a great look for anytime and makes the eyes look super sultry and sexy as seen here on Rihanna.

She is working those eyes and I am loving those red and very shiny lips. Rihanna happened to stop by an event I was doing back in July in Los Angeles and picked up a few things from the line. One of them being the Beth Bender Beauty Get in Line Stencil Kit and you can see how amazing her cat eyes look.

It really is a no brainer and it really is that easy. It’s a great look for the holidays and one that you will be seeing a lot of. Want Rihanna’s cat eyes? Check out the Get in Line kit at bettesboutique.com. If you like to travel light we have them in a travel set as well.

Check out Madonna’s new look that she unveiled at a screening of her husband’s new flick. I happen to love this look on her but most importantly check out her cat eyes. They look amazing. This is one beauty trend I hope never goes out of style!

Sexy Smoky Eyes That Sizzle!

Kiera Knightley is really working these sultry and very sexy smoky eyes. This is such a great look for her and when she is gracing the red carpet you can usually find her sporting a gorgeous pair of smoky eyes. To get Kiera’s look try a shimmer eyeshadow in Aubergine and make sure to blend the color around the entire eye. Try Stila’s Barefoot Contessa, $16 at sephora.com or Beth Bender Beauty’s eye dust in All About Me, $16 at bettesboutique.com

Make sure to blend the color up into the crease of eye and highlight the brow bone with a touch of eyeshadow in a bone or banana shade depending on your complexion. Try Buttercream from Laura Mercier, $20 at sephora.com or Banana eyeshadow from Bobbi Brown, available at bobbibrown.com

Finish with two coats of mascara, try Lash Injection, $19.50 from Too Faced Cosmetics. This mascara coats each lash from top to bottom and adds volume and length in seconds. It’s the perfect finish to compliment your gorgeous smoky eyes.

Holiday Eyes That Sizzle!

Ladies:

It’s that time of year again and the holiday parties are a perfect reason to have some fun with your make-up. Try a silver shimmer shadow (Double O Silver) $16, bettesboutique.com in place of a darker shadow when doing a smoky eye or just applying some color on the eyelid. As seen here on Jessica Alba who looks gorgeous. It makes the eyes pop and not much more is needed.

Jessica has added a darker line closer to her lashes for some extra pop appeal. Keep the brows clean and not to heavy. Try Gel Liner in Onyx, $16 at bethbenderbeauty.com and for perfect eyebrows may we suggest Anastasia’s Brow Ex-Press Kit, $38 at sephora.com. Her eyebrow stencils are the best for creating gorgeous eyebrows.

For those gals who need a little something more, may we suggest adding a few individual lashes to the ends of each eye. They are easy to use and fit right into your own lashes giving them a much more natural look. Once the eyelash glue has dried, go over each eye with a coat or two of mascara concentrating on the outer lashes.

Keep your lips sheer so not to over power your sexy sizzling eyes. Try Happy Glam Gloss, $16 at bettesboutique.com. Also LORAC’s Guava Tiki lip gloss, $16 at sephora.com, a sheer peachy pink lip color.

Best Smoky Eye Kit For Women On The Go

I was waiting on line this morning at the grocery store and had a few minutes to skim through this weeks People Magazine. I stumbled upon a page of Smoky eye Kit’s from various cosmetic companies wondering where The Get in Line Stencil Kit was since it is the easiest and has the least amount of steps to achieve a smoky eye and cat eye that look just as fabulous.

Most of the women I know don’t have time but they all love beauty products and love the idea of having sexy eyes and a five minute make up routine that keeps them on schedule. Just this weekend while we were away I brought a few Get in Line kits with me and gave one to each of the women there. In seconds they had done perfect cat eyes and smoky eyes.

It was so amazing and beautiful to watch their transformation and to see how excited they each were to have mastered what was once a difficult task.

The Get in Line Stencil Kit is $36 and comes with everything you need to create beautiful sexy eyes. If the kit is not what you need then may we suggest the Travel Stencil Set, $16, which comes with the stencils, brush and directions in a cute little pouch.

Sexy Cat Eyes and Red Lips Please

A lot of ladies have been seen sporting red lips in all shades, shimmer, no shimmer, cream, matte, sheer and shine. We’ve always loved Kate Moss for her style and sassy way’s. She’s not afraid to try anything and most of the time she looks great.

She was one of the first super models to get her hands on a Get in Line stencil kit and loves how easy it is to use. Her favorite look? The cat eye of course, but as you know she’s also a big fan of the smoky eye too.

May we suggest a sheer lip color from Nars to go with your sexy cat eyes like Kate’s. We love Flaming Dust a sheer cherry color which look gorgeous on, $23 at sephora.com.

Sexy Cat Eyes and Red Lips Please

Ashlee Simpson is working these cat eyes and sexy red lips. This is such a great look on her and from the expression on her face she seems to be feeling it too! She loves to play up her beautiful green eyes and is a smoky eye girl too.

To get this look start with a dark eyeshadow or gel eyeliner in black or dark brown. You can use an eyeliner brush and do it freehand to create the cat eyes seen here. That may require a number of q-tips and make -up remover until they are perfect or you can use the Get in Line eyeliner stencil kit and let the stencils do the work for you.

You can create cat eyes as long and as thin or thick as you like. Ashlee uses the Get in Line kit to create her cat eyes and then sets them with Gel liner in Onyx so they stay put all day.

On her lips a beautiful red hue to compliment her eyes. We like Laura Mercier’s Lip Cream Color in Truly Red, $22 at sephora.com

For extra shine and pout appeal add a touch of Red Glam Gloss. Try Reddy Freddy, $16 at bettesboutique.com

How To Get Sexy Eyes Like Carmen Electra

Sienna Miller and Carmen Electra are working their eyeliner like nobody's business. Eye color that looks even more alluring using a metallic liner in a Silver hue as seen here.
