Eye Scream ~ Fall 2009

Fall is a glam season for the eyes, as deep, dark, mineral and metallic shades—in matte or shimmer–are layered on with ‘80s abandon. Smoky, sultry gray, black, green, purple, cobalt, copper, and bronze lit up the runways at Marc Jacobs, Gucci and Versace, and the winged eye is back. With this much color on the eyes, if intimidated, keep the mouth muted and the skin clean and fresh.

1) Shade the lids with RMS Beauty Concealer (as a primer).

2) Apply Dr. Hauska Translucent Powder on top, then apply Jane Iredale Eye Shadow Kit (in Khaki) all over the lids.

3) Layer on Jane Iredale Cream to Powder Eyeliner (in Black Brown), using the dark brown as a liner around the eyes. Then apply the green shadow from the Living Nature Eye Shadow Duo (in Ferns) on top and bottom. This creates a deeper intensity and sets the line. Then extend the green eye shadow on top out into a horizontal line moving outward from the eye – creating this dramatic look.

4) To finish, apply Jane Iredale Eye Shadow Kit (in Kiss) under the arch of the brow. (A dab of highlighter here makes the eyes look bigger.) Apply a sheer wash of metallic on top, if you like, for more drama.

5) Apply dark mascara to lashes, from the center to the edges of the eyes.

CC Tip: When applying powder or powder eyeshadow, always tap the brush first to remove excess, and to create a smoother finish.
