Hi again, gorgeous!
This hot look comes to you from a new artist, and boy does she like to sass up a traditional smoky eye! Our artist, Noura, had fun playing with depth and color for this dramatic, winged look, which is smoldering when eyes are open, and just plain staggering when they're blinking. The colors are all MAC (big surprise, eh?), and they look even more daring on our porcelain-skinned model, Katie.
Note that there is definite attention to detail - the deep rose color extends just to the inner corner of the eye without wrapping under, keeping the eyes from looking tired. The black is blended out just to meet the edge of the brows, and no further, and it slightly wraps over the rose color to create a defined crease. Note: These colors do not work when applied sloppily, so do not attempt this look if you're in a rush. The right brushes are key for this sort of shaping and blending, so make sure that you have one that is thick and slightly stiff, so that it will pick up plenty of pigment as you lay the color, and then a larger, fluffier brush will be necessary to blend the edges to perfection.
Without a doubt, you'll want to finish the look off with a slick of black liquid eyeliner (you can't lose with Penultimate Liner) and tons of black mascara (we love the new False Lashes Extreme Black). Don't neglect the brows with a strong eye look - they'll frame the eyes and elevate the look to a polished finish.
The choice of the berry lip is controversial - the typical idea is that you should choose one area to use bold color on: eyes, lips, or cheeks. Choosing eyes AND lips may not fit into that standard makeup "rule," but seriously... how hot is that combo! Forget the rules! It may not be a day-at-the-office look, but it sure is a night-on-the-catwalk look! Thanks, Noura and Katie!
