Smoky Eye Look

The exciting news this week has been the Premier of Sex in the City 2.(click the web find more details about makeup of eyes here ) I was lucky enough to see a sneak peak just before its launch. London and the UK have all been a buzz over this fashion fest movie. Now I know that it has had mixed reviews but the opinions of women all over the UK has been "never mind the story we love the clothes and the make-up". Now there are not too many films you can say that about. Since the Premier I have been inundated with requests on how to get the look... mainly Carrie Bradshaw. But if there is anyone else that you'd like to see a 'get the look' on please let me know.

Get Carrie's Look:

Carrie's look is a modern twist on the classic smoky eye look. As a matter of face it is not too dis-similar to Tom Ford's Spring 2010 look.

Face:

Perfect your complexion choose a foundation to suit your skin tone. Apply it like a professional make-up using a foundation brush. Check out MAC, Ariane Poole or Body Shop. Using a foundation brush will give you that air brushed film star finish to your skin. Next a little concealer were necessary...like under the Mink lashes and on any blemishes. Save the powder until the end you want to keep your skin's luminosity.

Mink lashes:

Carrie's brows are shaped to perfection. If yours have been over plucked then fear not. Get a great brow shape with some brow powder or a brow pencil. Take a look at Shavata, Ariane Poole and Chanel.(If you would like to learn a little more about mink eyelash price you can visit our site at: [lanvinlashes] , mink eyelashes this product could possibly be the most appropriate one to work with.)

As I said, Carrie has a new twist of a smoky eye look. After applying an eye base, like Elizabeth Arden Eyefix, pop a mid to deep brown shadow, deepened on your skin tone, on the lids extending it beyond the socket line. I like Bobbi Brown or MAC for their wide selection of shades. Extending the shadow is the key to an open sexy smoky eye look. Define the shape and create more depth with dark brown gel liner, like my Chocolate Mousse or Maybelline's NEW Lasting Drama Gel Liner in Brown applied along the base of the top and bottom lashes. I love gel liners because not only can you create definition and drama to the Mink lashes but you can blur the line giving the Mink lashes that smudginess. Next take a black eye pencil, like Benefit's BadGal Pencil and line the inner rim of your Mink lashes. Add a touch of ivory shadow to highlight under the arch of the brows. Finish with lots of volume building mascara, such as L'Oreal Paris NEW Volume Million Lashes and a few individual false lashes.

Cheeks:

Keep the cheeks soft and fresh with a flush of apricot/peach blush applied to the apples of the cheeks. If you haven't got Carrie's chiselled cheeks then sweep a little bronzer under your cheek bones and watch them pop out.

The secret to an even complexion is using the perfect concealer cosmetics check out the Ariane Poole concealer make up today.(If you would like to learn a little more about mink eyelash price you can visit our site at: http://www.lanvinlashes.com , mink eyelashes this product could possibly be the most appropriate one to work with.)
