Help duplicating an eye look

Post by short_skirts » Wed Jul 23, 2008 9:53 am

We watched '21' last night, and I fell in love with one of the eye looks that Kate Bosworth had...the dark, smokey eye. I'm wondering what SN colours could be used, as I'd love to duplicate it (and instructions?!). I'm adding links to a couple of pictures for reference...

Not a great picture...

A bit better...

How was that movie? As a math nerd, I really want to see it...

The original smokey eye palette was Storm Cloud, Silver Lining, Raven and Whipped Cream- they're very neutral grey/black tones, and not super extra shimmery- just kinda shimmery.

I just did a modified, slightly warmed up version of a smokey eye with Wink Wink, Nudge Nudge, and Basalt.
I did a coat of Nudge Nudge all over my lid up to the crease, put Basalt in the crease and used it dry as a liner, then used Wink Wink as a highlight, and a little dot of it in the corner so it wasn't too dark.

I'll work on an ooomphed up palette for Fall- but for now I do like the Wink Wink/Nudge Nudge, Basalt combo quite a bit.
