Today, the key term in makeup is BLENDING. Exotic eyes are created by using a dramatic application of soft, smokey, and shimmering eye shadow colors. Brushes are key tools for achieving the blended look.
Start with pale, shimmering colors for the upper lid. Try a pale shimmering yellow, or ivory brushed over the entire lid, from lash to brow and into the crease. Bobbi Brown Bone, Lorac Beige Eye Shadow, or Laura Mercier Butter Cream create a delicious lustrous quality.
Next comes some of the subtle blending which creates the sultry drama. Blend over the entire upper lid, a taupeish neutral color such as Stila Wheat, Bobbi Brown Fawn or Nars Bali.
This next step is how to achieve the sultry doe-like look. Empahsize the outer corners of your eyes with a charcoal/brown/black shadow. If you are using a yellow tint on your upper lids, use a smokey grey hue for the corners. Bobbi Brown Smoke, Smashbox Smashing Smoke or Lancome Color Design Couture are excellent eye shadows.
Sweep the smokey color onto the outer corners of the eyes and along base of the lower lashes. Extend this deep shade to slightly beyond the corners to accentuate the almond shape.
