Hollywood’s fresh take on the smokey eye has it smoldering this season in metallic-jewel tones. * Begin by layering your favorite jewel-toned shadow on the lids, from brow to lashes. Next, press a black-cherry shade onto the lid, concentrating on the outer portion: darker near the lash line and blending up into the crease. Follow with a shimmering midnight shadow and apply it to the outer “V” of the eye, smudging around from the upper- to lowerlash line. * Define the upper lids heavily with a cat’s-eye line in a metallic eyeliner (go with a gorgeous black-cherry color). * Top off eye shades with superblack, extremely long, thick lashes. Glitter throughout the season with smoldering metallic jewel tones—afresh take on the classic smoky Hollywood eye. * For even more fun andflirtyness, apply “Lash Gems,” little pearls that adhere to the tips of your lashes for eyes that glitter with a festiveflare. * Keep skin healthy and flawless. * Ditch the traditional red lipstick for lips that shimmer with gleaming gloss in neutral shades.
