The rainy days might ruin your mood but not if you’re sporting a colorful smoky eye look like Scarlett Johansson! Try it out this green eye makeup look with these quick tips and tricks.

To achieve a look like Scarlett’s smoldering, smoky eyes on the red carpet, stay away from blue hues which can make you look like you have undereye circles. Instead, go for black, gray, brown or if you want color, dark green shadows and liners. Then, follow these steps:

1. Apply a cream concealer over your eyelid to create a smooth base for your eyeshadow.

2. Use a pencil liner (black or gray looks best) to trace your top lashline from the inner corner to the outer. Then, use the same pencil to dot between your lower lashes. Smudge both lashlines with a cotton swab or an eyeliner brush.

3. Sweep powder shadow (brown, gray and dark green all work with black or gray liner) over your lid and into your crease, blending the color up and outward.

4. Dust a lighter, neutral eyeshadow (such as ivory) over just your browbone. Then finish with black mascara!
