Top tips for Smoky Eyes



This trend is always popular as a Christmas party look.  While flicking through Instyle magazine recently I saw 26 different interpretations!

It’s a scary concept for most women - how do you accomplish it without looking like a Panda!?  The answer is knowing what colours to use.  Black eye liner and mascara doesn’t work for everyone and it can be a severe look if used incorrectly.
I learnt how to create the smoky eye look at my House of Colour Make-up Class. You need to emphasise your eyes by creating a frame, using a highlighter, soft shadow shade and a defining shadow.  Using the right colours to complement your skin tone will make your eyes appear larger and brighter.

House of Colour tailors their eye shadows for each season so you can choose shades that complement each other. With a range of highlighters, soft shadows and defining shadows for each season your consultant shows you which colours to use to achieve a look that works for your eye shape.

As a Winter, my favourite combination uses ES72 Marshmallow as a highlighter, ES116 Pale Lilac as a soft shadow and ES191 Purple as a defining shadow – giving a smoky eye look that’s perfect to smoulder!
