Recreate Olivia Wilde's "Smoky Eye with A Twist"

“To create dewy skin, I applied a luminous foundation with a wet sponge all over the face," said Melanie.

"Next, I applied a warm creamy blush to the apples of the cheeks, this helped soften the overall look and keep her looking young and fresh.”

“To start I applied a primer over the lids so the shadow will adhere better and last longer."

"Then, start by creating the shape of the smoky eye by tracing both top and bottom rims with a thick black line," she said. "It doesn't have to be perfect as it will be blended. The darker around the rim of the eyes, the sexier the eyes will look."

"Next, I applied a dark cream shadow to fill the entire lid and create a base to which the powder eye shadow will stick," said Melanie. "I also used this color on the bottom lash line to start creating the smoky eye."

"I applied a dark burgundy powder shadow to lid and under the eye on top of the cream to create a bit more depth," she said. "The trick to a good smoky eye is blending! Blend all of the colors with a medium and small sized shadow brush according to the eye shape that you want."

"I like to blend a smoky eye with a strong but light shimmer eye shadow on the outside of the eye. I also used this color on the inner corner of the eyes for brightness."

"To finish the eyes, I curled the lashes, applied one coat of mascara to top and bottom lashes, waited for it to dry and repeated a second time," said Melanie.

"I topped the look off with a really pretty baby pink on the lips and applied it with my finger, building the color for a natural and polished look.”
