Eyes

1. The easiest way to a smoky eye is to start with
liner. Starting right in the lash line, use
Glimmersticks Eye Liner in Blackest Black to fill in
between the lashes. This gives you a defined line.

2. Next, use the same product, Glimmersticks Eye
Liner in Blackest Black, to line the inner rim of
the upper and lower lid.

3. Follow that with Glimmersticks Eye Liner in
Blackest Black under the eye and give it a nice little
soft smudge.

4. Next, use True Color Eye Shadow in Midnight Plum
on the lid, starting right next to the lash line. You
want to keep the lower part of the lid the strongest.
Blend well to soften the edge and remove any hard
lines. The color should get softer and blend out
lighter as it gets closer to the brow. You want to
keep the dark color close to your lash line, not right
under your brow.

5. Finish up the eyes with Uplifting Mascara.


Cheeks and Lips

1. When you’re wearing a smoky eye, the rest of the
face should be kept in a neutral color that works
well with your skin tone.

2. For Cara’s cheeks we used Split Second Blush
Stick in Berry, a color available next year. In the
meantime, you can substitute with Split Second
Blush Stick in Tropical Peach. Dot on the “apples”
of cheeks and blend well.

3. On Cara’s lips we used a neutral gloss to help
balance the darker eyes. We used Brown Sugar
Glazewear Liquid Lip Color.

Nails
1. Dark nails aren’t limited to October 31st anymore!
They are chic and sophisticated for all year.

2. Best tip for wearing dark nails – keep nails short.

Pulling it all Together

1. You no longer have to keep a monochromatic look
for stylish makeup. Your lips don’t have to match
your nails. The rules are getting easier. You can
mix it up and have fun!
