Enter the holiday party circuit
with all eyes on you, babe. Snag this
daring stare with a cinchy how-to from our
Dec/Jan ’13 fashion shoot. Ready to
light up the night?
Here's a close-up to help ya:
Step 1: To begin, use an eye
shadow primer for a look that will last till midnight and beyond!
Step 2: Next, swipe a metallic bronze shadow
across the lids of your eyes and continue to blend past the outer corners of
your eyes. Go ahead and outline your lower lash line with the shade too, for an
extra pop of intensity.
Step 3: Then, highlight the inner corners of your eyes and across your
brow bone.
Tip: You can also use this
versatile product to highlight your cheekbones.
Step 4: To create the dramatic liner
effect, it’s best to use a liner pencil with a built-in smudger for blending.
Start on the inner corner of your eye and trace just above the crease of your
eyelid. Stop about halfway across your eyelid and blend out the end of the line
you just created. Then, create the bottom line by tracing from the middle of
your upper lash line out towards the outer corner of your eye. From this
endpoint, create a short, sharp wing, and extend it below your lower lash line.
Make sure you don’t underline your full lower lashline, think of it more like a
cat eye with an extended tail.

Step 5: Finish with two coats of your
favorite black mascara.
