ELLE Canada has beauty tips to get you the hot fall beauty looks this season with your makeup.
This fall the choices in beauty and makeup are just as plentiful as the fashion styles that hit the runway! ELLE chatted with Annesley Broadhead, National Makeup artist for CARGO cosmetics for her expert tips on achieving the smoldering fall beauty looks.
The smoky eye
The smoky eye has long been a hot makeup look, and this fall on the runways was no exception. The combination of three eyeshadow shades is perfect for creating the sexy eye. This year the smoky eye gets an update with sheerer shades, deep purples and sultry sophistication. Pair it up with the new matte skin (see instructions on the next page), neutral blush and a sheer gloss or lipstick will keep you looking modern.
Annesley's steps for a smoky eye:
• Begin by priming the lids with a concealer.
• Next smudge the deepest eye shadow shade under the lower lash line, extending the color just past the outer corners. This will give you a perfect guideline for placing the upper, outer corner color.
• Now using the same shade define the outer corner of the eyes, blending in towards the centre of the eyelid and up towards the crease.
• Add a medium to the crease to create definition and to soften the line between the lid color and the crease.
• Give lift and highlight under the brow and on the inner corners with the lightest eye shadow shade. EyeLighter™ from CARGO is perfect for highlighting the eyes since it comes in a handy pen format that is easy to toss in your purse.
• Use a cream based eyeliner in black, grey or deep chocolate brown, depending on the colour scheme you have chosen.
• Line the upper lash line and then set and smudge with a matching powder shadow.
• CARGO's SmokyEye™ Eye Liner Duo offers a cream and powder liner in one compact so is ideal for achieving this smoky smudgy effect.
• The smoky eye look is never complete without at least two coats of black Mascara
