Smokey Eyes

The smoky eye is one of beauty’s most seductive looks, but often such a dramatic look is too extreme for daytime. This season’s version shows more of a subdued allure. Soft browns and greys replace harsh, unforgiving shades of black and midnight grey. Heavy eyeliner takes a backseat to bright, highlighted rims. And spikey lashes get ultra feminine with soft definition and sweet au natural length. Finish off the look with a perfectly pink pout and a mild flush of rosy blush.

Guerlain ‘Ombré Éclat’ Eyeshadow Palette

With four complimentary shades of brown and bronze, this palette offers up endless combinations for the subtle smoky eye. Apply a strong tone and highlight it with one of the more delicate options for a softy mysterious look or try using two of the more intense color for a more dramatic eye. Try playing with the matte and iridescent textures to mix things up.
