Black Smokey Eyes with Metallic Lips
This look requires a little bit of time and patience, but it’s
totally worth it. Proper blending and gradation are extremely
important if you want to end up with a sexy smokey eye
instead of muddy eyeshadow. Fortunately, Desi Perkins has
a YouTube tutorial on how to create this eye look. Finish the
look with “Rocker,” a copper lipstick with gold specks of
glimmer, by Kat Von D.

Geometric Eyes
Tarte Tarteist Brow
Gel, $19, ulta.com
Bold Brows and Falsies
If you aren’t much of a color gal, you can still make a statement with your
hair. By “hair,” I mean your brows and lashes. If you have naturally thick
brows, use a clear brow gel like Tarte’s Tarteist Brow Gel to simply brush
those hairs up and keep them in place. However, if you’re looking for a
drugstore brand, I recommend Maybelline Clear Mascara; it works just
as great if you’re on a budget. If you need a little extra help in the brow
department, try a cult favorite like the Anastasia Brow Wiz Pencil.

Out of all the looks in this list,
you’ll probably turn the most
heads (in a good way!) with a
geometric eye look. Because
we’re all different, you may
have to adjust your design to
work with your individual eye
shape and bone structure. The
fun thing about this look is you
can play off negative space.
Also, you already have eve-
rything (eyeliner and a brush)
you need to create this fun look
right in your makeup drawer. If
you are using eyeshadow, use
a primer as a base for long-las-
ting wear.
