Dramatic Gold Smokey Eye (Kim Kardashian at the Grammys)


In order to achieve the look K.K was wearing at the Grammys I pulled my coastal scents warm palette, which is an 88 palette devoted to all warm tones, mostly brown hues. However all anyone at home needs is a couple of warm and rich gold eye shadows, one medium and one dark. I also pulled a black liner for my water line and a black liquid liner for my lash line. At get Kim’s look the blackest shade possible is needed. Finally I pull a pair of dramatic long false lashes and my CoverGirl Lash Blast Intense mascara. Kim’s lashes are very long in this look and very much a focal point of her look. This dramatic eye has been paired with a neutral lip, remember to keep the shade of lipstick you use warm and not identical to your skin tone… we want to play up the eyes without completely erasing the lips. I may not be a big fan of the kardashians, however I love this look. Yes, it is one that Kim frequently wears, but why mess with a good thing? It is also a look that can easily be toned down to a day look by simply losing the heavy lashes and using a tad less gold. This look makes her brown eyes stand out, but it will do even more wonders for blue eyes!

Go ahead, Experiment!
