Trend Report: Sexy Eyes, Smoldering Eyes

Tuesday Jul 1, 2008 – By Nicole Mitsch

p167645_hero.jpg

Now:

Pop Beauty Liner Cake ($19, sephora.com) A color dense powder palette that has five intense rich eyeliner shades. Create smudgy, smokey, sexy eyes with shades that include: Electric Blue, Sliver Black, Velvet Plum, Emerald Green and Gunmetal. They go on smooth and smudge out just enough to create intense looks that are completely wearable.

Yesterday:

Using only a black eyeliner pencil to achieve a smoky eye look. Getting a stiff black pencil to achieve a look that screams sexy isn’t likely to happen. With a hard black pencil you get an eye that looks like its ringed in black instead of the soft smudged look that you want.

Tomorrow:

bareMinerals Rocker Eye ($38, exclusively at Sephora and sephora.com until September) Turn up the volume on your smokey eye with this all inclusive kit that contains eye color in 1980’s (pearlized chrome) and Rock Star (Iridescent sparkling smoke), Black Leather Liner Shadow (blackest black), a Rock ‘N’ Roll Brush (double ended design for smudging & lining) and a tutorial guide. With this collection of intense rock star colors you are can easily turn your look into the next big sensation.

    I love the smokey eye look. That pop tin looks so great. I am going to have to pick it up next time I am at the mall.

  2. Tish Tish says:

    Any kit that contains a liner called “Black Leather” is a must.

  3. V-DayLady V-DayLady says:

    I do makeup for a living and I agree no one should be doing the smudgey eye with just a pencil. Great tip!

  4. Seymone Seymone says:

    Must pick up that Rocker Eyes Kit and the Pop Beauty tin.. Thanks for info.
