The trick to achieving a soft smokey eye is to layer on. You should start with a solid light brown shade all over the lid and pile on deeper colors on top.

1.  Prep eye area with a foundation and concealer/powder.
2. Apply a light neutral base eye shadow to upper eyelid and crease area with large eye makeup brush like Motives Press Eye shadow in Vintage Glam. Also, sweep this color under lower lash line from inner to outer corners with smaller brush.
3. With a medium eye brush, apply a more intense bronze based color to upper eyelid. Try out Elle’s Motives Paint Pot Mineral Eye shadow. Feather this color under 1/2 of outer corner of lower lash line also.
4. Add dark brown eye shadow color to outer eye corners for more intensity if desired.
5. Line eyes with black eyeliner, paying careful attention to the lower and upper eyelids. Try Ultrafresh Black Magic Eyeliner and be sure to blend for a smudged look.
6. Curl lashes and apply 2 coats of black mascara.
7. Apply a highlighter to brow bone and inner corners of eyes.
8. Finish with Skindinavia for a look that won’t smudge or wear off.

Here’s how you can get this young, clean, and modern look for yourself – Leah used Nars cosmetics to get her superstar glow.

1. Softly smoke-out eyes using neutrals from Bellissima Duo Eyeshadow and Coconut Grove Eyeshadow.
2.  Brighten complexion with peachy pink Amour Blush.
3.  Hit cheekbones with a touch of Laguna Bronzer.
4. Top nude Little Darling Lipstick with tropical pink Chihuahua Lip Gloss.
5. Finish with Skindinavia finishing spray.

Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima knows a thing or two about beauty and her flawless style has been a target to reach for women all over the world. Copy her picture perfect look using shimmery products like , Skindinavia’s Moisture Lock and Clinique’s rosy blush stick on the cheeks.  Next glide gold eyeliner like L’Oreal Color Chrome around your upper and lower eyelashes. Add depth by subtly lining the bottom eye line with a dark eyeliner pencil and finish your demure look with one coat of mascara. A touch of clear or nude lipgloss like Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglass in Nude applied on your lips is all you need to complete your great holiday look that works from day to evening.

To achieve this look use a multi-tonal color palette to combine the various shades of bronze. Top your glimpse with mascara to highlight your foxy lashes. Always remember to start off your application lightly and work your way up to more intensity. If you start with bronze smokey eye makeup for your day look, it can be easily converted into sultry evening makeup by adding more deeper, darker shades. It’s easier to keep adding rather than substracting. This look is a definite must try!

There are a lot of great celebrity makeup tips on getting a fab glow, and this one is has a very fun twist.

Jessica Sutta of the Pussy Cat Dolls has a great recommendation from her blog at PCDMusic.com – the official Pussy Cat Dolls website.  Here’s what she reveals to us….

She’s a huge fan of Urban Decay’s Baked Bronzer which she calls “amazing!”

Their Baked Bronzer – as the name implies – is baked as opposed to pressed so it can be applied wet providing more concentrated color. Personally we think this bronzer is extremely easy to work with and the best part is that it is streak free.  Jessica’s recommendation is to apply it dry to your cheekbones with a large, fluffy brush.

We like the option of applying it wet, too, with a sponge for a deeper St. Tropez shade. Because the formula is cooked, not pressed, the powder returns to a micro-fine feel after being wet – without glazing!

Just a little of this bronzer goes a very long way, which we love!  We also noticed the finish to be brilliant and natural without being too shimmery.  Looks like Jessica made a great choice!
