It's party time and you have to look totally glam - and drop-dead-gorgeous - in 30 minutes or less. Our studio makeup artist, Lori Taylor, shares her favorite intense smoky eye look that is easily achievable, leaving you more time to sip on cocktails. Remember, ditch the idea of perfection. “The smoky eye is a messy, messy eye,” says Lori. Here’s how you do it!
Brighten the look of your skin by first applying PHOTO FINISH COLOR CORRECTING FOUNDATION PRIMER in BALANCE. Using FOUNDATION BRUSH #13, apply HIGH DEFINITION HEALTHY FX FOUNDATION. Next conceal under-eye circles with PHOTO OP UNDER EYE BRIGHTENTER, followed by CAMERA READY FULL COVERAGE CONCEALER over any imperfections. Dab O-GLOW on cheeks and blend back toward ear for a natural flush of color.
Using ARCED LINER BRUSH #21, draw a thick line of JET SET WATERPROOF EYE LINER in MIDNIGHT BLACK along the top lash line, then apply liner to the inner rim of eye. Next, take DEFINER BRUSH #15 and apply CREAM EYE LINER in LAVA all over lid from lashline to crease, then sweep along lower lashline. Use the same brush to apply the smoky gray shade from EYE SHADOW TRIO in SHUTTERSPEED all over the lid, blending more color into the crease for definition. Using CREASE BRUSH #10, blend the shimmery beige shade from inner corner of eye over the brow bone. Finish the eyes with multiple coats of BIONIC MASCARA.
Lightly line lips with LIP PENCIL in DEEP MAUVE. Using RETRACTABLE LIP BRUSH #18, apply PHOTO FINISH LIPSTICK in LAVISH. Pump up the shine with a generous application of LIP ENHANCING GLOSS in CRYSTAL.
