Best Products for Smoky Eyes

We love smoky eyes. It’s a very versatile and sexy look, but it’s definitely not easy to do. First, you need a great product… with perfect shades. So, we picked three of our favorite looks and three of our favorite products certainly worth trying.

Look #1

This is a “traditional” smoky eye, it’s very dark and there was obviously a lot of black eye shadow used. If you love this black, smoky eye look – try Dior’s 3 Couleurs Smoky Ready-To-Wear Smoky Eyes Palette in Smoky Black. This palette includes charcoal, sparkling black and light grey. You can create catwalk eyes in three very easy steps!

Look #2

The “smoky” part of this look has a lot to do with the dark eyeliner but her eye shadow is gorgeous too! For this look, try Lancome’s Color Design in Showstopper Style. This palette is made of warm bronze shades including gold, bronze shimmer, matte chocolate and taupe brown. With this versatile palette, you’ll have long-lasting intense color.

Look #3

This last look is my favorite of the group. This is a great look to take you from day to night, again – it’s a brown toned smoky look with a little bit of shimmer. Bobbi Brown’s Limited Edition Ultra Nude Palette features six classic Bobbi Brown nude hues, perfect for a neutral smoky eye.

Look #4

Obviously, the brown smoky eye has been quite a trend this season. Another great palette that features shadows for an earthy make-up look is Too Faced Natural At Night Sexy & Sultry Neutral Eye Shadow Collection. This palette includes nine matte, shimmer and glitter finished shadows in seductive and glamorous shades… perfect for a look just like this one.

Look #5

Using greys and pewters can really make eyes pop, like in this look. It’s a more toned down look than the rest but is just as striking. To give your eyes a more subtle but just as fierce look, use BareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 4.0 in The Afterparty. This is a collection of vivid, longwearing hues of plum, grey and pewter.

Look #6

For this last look, Josie Maran’s Argan Beautiful Eyes in Beautiful Nudes is a beautiful collection of brown and nude shadows. This is a great palette if you love Natalie Portman’s make-up pictured here. These shadows are also soft and nutrient.
