Tutorial :: Silver Lightening Smokey Eye

Melody — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:12:16 +0000

Here’s a requested smokey eye look using the Sephora Color Play 5-in-1 Palette. This is my go-to night out on the town smokey eye! If you don’t have this palette, there are plenty of dupes out there. You just need a silver, pewter, and black. Very simple look that can be toned down. This is a very metallic version.

ELF Dramatic Eyelashes
