Sexy. Seductive. Sophisticated. The smokey eye is back this season, with a more elegant spin. The look is more of a balancing act: Intense eyes with a soft lip, or soft eyes with an intense lip. For intense eyes, try the new Smoking Eyes: 4 palette from M.A.C..

Don’t over do it Love Muffins! Remember, you want to go for simplicity. Just line your eyes with a black eye pencil, and blend the deepest shade in the palette over the line, smudging the line a bit to create a diffused look. Blend the shade upward into your crease using the mid-tone color in the palette. This shade is also great for lining the bottom lash line. Use the lightest shade to highlight brow bones and inner corners of your eyes for a look that is erotically orgasmic! Don’t forget the top it off with a copule coats of volumizing mascara. Soft cheeks and lips give all of the attention to your smokey eyes. Try using MAX Factors Colour Perfection Lipstick in Caramel and Cinnamon Natural Brush-On Satin Blush for deeper skintones. Lighter skintones should try Colour Perfection Lipstick in Apricot and Natural Brush-On Satin Blush in Peach Spice, both by MAX Factor. Please do top lips off with little bit of IMAN Crystal Luxury Lip Shimmer.

When working soft eyes, apply color the same way you did the intense eye colors. Just use softer colors like shimmery taupes and soft chocolates. Balance the look with a juicy berry lip gloss. Try Clinique’s Glosswear for Lips Intense Sparkle in Stellar Plum.
