Smoky eyes are a classic look dating back to the 1920’s. Makeup companies advertised dramatic eyes and lips that became part of the “flapper look” —a style that remains iconic today. Now the smoky eye lives on as the perfect look for adding depth and drama to any occasion.
There are many different kinds of smoky eye looks to choose from. For more drama, go for dark eyeshadow and bold eyeliner. If you want a more subtle look, choose lighter shadows and opt for little or no eyeliner. Choose our signature gel eyeliner and apply it with a thin angled brush to go as bold or subtle as you like.
Eyeshadows for smoky eyes come in all colors. Choose a palette with neutral tones ranging from beige to the darkest brown, or get colorful with deep colors like plum. Apply the eyeshadow with your favorite eyeshadow brush and use a blender brush to smooth out any edges. Finish it off with a few strokes of our signature mascara and you’ll have a sultry and dramatic look sure to turn heads.
Don’t forget the berry lips! Our safe mineral lip enhancers coupled with a lip shine with SPF are no-brainer foundations for the perfect berry lip. Start with a lip liner and apply one of our glosses to achieve a healthy lip shine. Your lips have the thinnest skin of your entire body, so always stick to a sensitive skin lip gloss to prevent a flaky, cracking pout. Colorescience Organic Mineral Lip Shine will protect your lips and make your berry lip last, whether you’re headed to the office or ready to hit the town this weekend.
At Colorescience, we believe you should have fun with your makeup without putting your skin at risk. Finish your smoky eye look with our brush-on mineral powder to create a perfectly smooth complexion, or choose our Tint du Soleil SPF 30 Whipped Foundation to keep your skin safe during those sunny days outside.
