Fall Beauty: Dramatic Smoky Eyes

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007 | Fall Trends

Smoky eyes are a huge comeback for fall 2007, and are more dramatic than ever. Layers of black and mega full or false lashes were seen on the runway. Street-wise, the look is refreshingly unconventional with deep, dark blues and purples replacing or adding to traditional smoky black.

This is all so reminiscent of my heavy-eye-makeup headbanger phase back in high school, however the current, ‘grown up’ look is very vamp & sexy, with a balance. Eyes are heavy, but the face is otherwise muted.

Matte foundation, contoured cheeks, and non-competing lips complete this look. A matte, lavendar lip color gives the face a striking, ethereal appearance. Otherwise, finger-painted lip gloss or lipstick in a neutral color lets dramatic eyes take the spotlight.

Gorgeous!

I am super excited to get back into heavy eye makeup but I hardly ever go out and it just feels, well, DUMB, to be working from home in full face.

The smiling pic in the last post is the prettiest.

I do smoked out eyes just about everyday,it looks AMAZING.
