Be Jeweled

By Shalini Vadhera

Fall is here, and that means bold, dramatic eyes are back-and the colors are oh-so-cool!

	Smoky, Sultry Eyes with Color. Smoky eyes are the trend this season. Hot off the runway, the eyes have it, making a bold dramatic statement. Forget the traditional smoky colors of charcoal and black. Shades of grays, greens, violets and blues with a hint of glimmer are all the rage. Add some color and dimension to your makeup routine with an eyeliner or eye shadow in new metallic shades.
	Drape your eyes in these rich jewel tones: Nars Crème Eyeshadow in Swing, available at Nordstrom (888-282-6060; nordstrom.com) and Cargo SmokyEye Eyeliner Duo in Katmandu, available at Sephora (877-SEPHORA; sephora.com).
	Longer Lashes are a Must-Have. Flirty lashes have the last laugh. Add drama to an already smoldering eye with false lashes. With practice, they’re easy to apply, and give your eyes instant glam. Follow with two to three coats of black mascara. For extra “pop,” use a professional eyelash curler.
	Favorites I use on the set or in studio on my celebrity clients: MAC #7 False Lashes, available at Nordstrom (888-282-6060; nordstrom.com) and Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler, available at Sephora (877-SEPHORA; sephora.com).
	Stay Balanced with Pouty Nude Lips. Balance is key when it comes to smoky eyes. Keep the rest of your makeup clean. Too much blush and heavy lipstick makes you look overdone. Pair this look with shimmery nude lips. Go for a gloss with a hint of shimmer and skip the liner. Try a lip-plumping gloss for an even sexier pout.
	When it comes to playing up your eyes, less on the lips is more. This season’s favorites: Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in A Munch of Peanuts available at Sephora (877-SEPHORA; sephora.com) and DuWops Lip Venom available at Nordstrom (888-282-6060; nordstrom.com).
