Mastering the Smoky Eye Effect — part 5.

by admin - April 2nd, 2009

All right, folks, we have reached the end of the line — well, almost.  There is one last step with which you have to contend.  Fortunately, it is not nearly as tricky as getting the eyeshadow and eyeliner just right for this complicated but wonderfully mysterious look.

We need mascara now.  In fact, we need lots and lots of mascara.  I happen to have an ‘in’ with one of the fabulous Chanel boys who work at Macy’s (no, I am not going to tell any of you which one; he is my BFF), and he insists that one of those volume boosting mascaras, preferably one which makes your lashes long and lush as well, is going to be the best bet here.  Not only will you have mastered the smoky eye effect, but your look will also be strikingly dramatic.

Now, here is one final piece of advice: do not try to carry this look off in the daytime.  It is just a bit too much.  Save it for a night out and you can’t go wrong!
