Sexy, Sultry, Seductive eyes, in 4 easy steps!

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I’ve received so many emails asking how to get “come hither” eyes. Good news: It’s easier than you think!
Bad News: Most of you are making the same mistakes, but they’re totally fixable! Follow these 4 steps, and you’ll have the eyes he can’t possibly resist. (Trust us)

Step 1: Define your brows
The trend right now is shaped and well-groomed. To get this look, tweeze the hairs that are out of line with your arch. Fill in sparse spots with a brow pencil. Then set with Brow Fix.
Mistake not to make: Overpenciling. Oscar the Grouch is not sexy. Try not to look like him.

Step 2: Layer your shadow
Use two shades and you’ll look twice as sexy. Try brown, grey or silvery blue. (I’m loving our shade Graphite right now) Sweep a darker hue from lash lines up to creases; top with a lighter or shimery version. (Our Pewter Shimmer looks amazing over Graphite!)
Mistake not to make: Neglecting to blend. Stripes are never in season(on your eyes at least)

Step 3: Line you lids right
Apply a streak of pencil that matches your shadow on top and bottom lids; smudge. Feeling bold? Rim the inside of eyes with black.
Mistake not to make: Wow liner and wow lipstick. One is plenty.

Step 4: Lush up your lashes
Curl, apply mascara and wait 10 seconds for it to dry before adding more, so you don’t end up with tarantula eyes!
Mistake not to make: Ignoring bottom lashes. Show them some love!
