After a sultry dressed Halloween evening, I felt as though I should include a little touch of the same look into my day this morning. Nothing too out there, just a subtle hint through some dramatic eyes in my makeup.
And so I played with my make up to do a classic look with a silver glow. A nice touch of eyeliner to elongate the eyes and really make them pop combined with the classic smoky eye make up- only with more of a silver presence to make the look all the more dramatic and glamorous.
My lashes are pretty long to begin with naturally, but when you add the Le 2 Mascara from Guerlain it maximizes the volume and length like nothing else (I love it).
It is more about the silver faded into the hint of dark gray that collects at the ends of the eyes- one side with a fine eyeliner and the other with the rich smoky finish.
The finished look is simple but quite bold- a little can go a long way. It doesn’t take long to do but the results last the entire day and feel flawless. This is a fun look to do and a great way to get excited about the day.
I did mine with silver and gray colors- however if you’re looking for even more, go for the gold. Use a nice bronze or gold and mix it into a darker shade of brown- definitely rich and glamorous as well. Even a dark purple could prove to be royal and luxurious.
Play around and make it your own, simple is key as a little goes a long way. Its the details that count.

Lovely! I will definitely try this out. How do you make such refined lines? What brush do you use? And I am so trying this mascara. Your lashes are so clump free it’s amazing!

I live by this mascara and thank you so much for pointing that out! It’s true, no matter how much you add it doesn’t clump- and honestly one stroke does dramatic wonders.
A new one just came out from them- it is part of the le 2 line but more of the new collection, it is a violet/black sparkled mascara which has my interest. (I am wearing the violet noir color from the le 2 which is subtle but elegant and fun).
As far as brushes, I use Borghese (found a great brush set from them complete with leather cylinder case for $20 at Costco- cannot beat that). I use the finest brush possible for the lines, it allows for more control as well. I use different brushes for different shadow techniques, too, which also allows for more control. The set gives lots of options and actually even included a cleaner for them as well. If they still have it (I do not know if they all carry it or not) I would jump on it.
Much love! xx

I tried smoky eyes for so many times before and still can’t get it right! In the mean time, I just gave up make up completely (well, I still get my mascara, of course!) which makes things far easier!
I’ll get you into my linkage post today!

I feel strange without mascara, or at least I much prefer it even if that is the only make up I am wearing. Its the little things. I like both- smoky eyes and clean natural eyes. There wouldn’t be anything to appreciate if they both didn’t look so lovely! Its fun to mix things up and create occasions for both and all the looks in between.
Much love, miss kpriss!

Your eyes are very innocent looking. They’re goregous!
