Smoky eyes time is finally here! Check out these tools that you can use to achieve that glamorous and enticing smoky eye look for the season!
1. Stila Backstage Beauty Eye Shadow Palette - The Runway Look
This is a 3-pan palette composed of brown and taupe eye shadows. You also get a Kajal Eye Liner.
Felicia, Makeup Maven, from NJ/NY says that this “Runway” palette really blew her away.
“I imagine that light to medium complexions will be able to wear both palettes with ease. The “Runway” palette will go over great for folks with darker tones.”
For us, this $40.00 product (you can buy yours over at Sephora) is a good steal. What we love about this palette is that it has both matte and shimmer shades so you can easily play with your look.
2. Tarte Eye Couture Day-To-Night Eye Palette
“The gist of this palette is it allows you to go from daytime to nighttime make-up with one handy dandy palette. Clearly that feat will be easy to attain.”
This palette has a lot of versatile hues that you can easily mix and match, so to speak. You can go from light smoky to very dark and grim looking in just a few strokes.
This lovely palette is sold for $44.00 over at Sephora. Just look at how lovely the casing is as well!
3. LORAC Multi-Platinum Palette ($120 Value)
“The colors are always beautifully coordinated, the textures of the powders are amazing and the price tags don’t make your heart stop. The Multi-Platinum Palette is no exception to the high standards I’ve come to expect and, in fact, it ups the ante significantly….Like all Lorac palettes, the texture of these powders is sublime. Super soft, pigmented and easily blended out, they’re a dream to work with, even something as notoriously temperamental as a glittery black.”
The LORAC palette is an eye and cheek palette sold exclusively over at Sephora for $37.00 We say if the powder texture is fine, then this is a great buy. After all, who wants to wear makeup that proves to be rough on our delicate skin?
4. Dior 1-Couleur Powder Mono Eyeshadow in 065 silver dust
“The smokey eyes I create with these eyeshadows are the best I have every seen. The shadows go on so smoothly that it feels, and looks, like I am applying a cream shadow. The color and intensity last all day. It offers the perfect amount of shimmer without looking like you spilled a container of glitter on yourself.”
Dior is Dior and you know that you’re paying for quality, rich color, glamour and luxury. This one’s sold for $24.50 each.
5. Tarte Lock & Roll Creaseless Eyeshadow Duo in Gunmetal
Be ready to “rock and roll” with this set!
“Tarte’s Lock & Roll was love at first sight. I fell hard for the Gunmetal shade. Gunmetal is the perfect blend of gray, lavender and silver….in a word, gorgeous!”
To say that this set is gorgeous is really an understatement. You get color coordinated, water resistant cream and a loose eye shadow wand for only $17.00. It’s really a no-brainer purchase. Get it stat!
6. Givenchy’s Prisme Again! Shimmer’ Eyes Limited Edition
Expert:
Polka dots dress up! These two customised harmonies are reminiscent of a dandy’s basic deconstructed three-piece suit. A matte texture and three complementary glowing shades offer two ways of creating sophisticated, smoky eyes. Smoky Shimmer: three dense, shiny black shades softened by a matte white base for grey tones coloured with blue, white and purple pearlescent particles.

7. Chanel Les 4 Ombre
Expert:
I love the smoky eye look so when I saw the Chanel LES 4 OMBRES Quadra Eye Shadow in Smoky Eye at my girlfriend’s (fellow beauty junkie) place I knew we had to play makeup! This palette of white, silver, gray, and black colors can be combined to achieve many variations and intensities of the smoky eye look.
