Look - Silvery Smoky Blue Eye

Posted On: 11/6/08

My Election Day look! :) The boyfriend *loved* the pink lips!

You will need the following…

Eyes: Softwashed pigment (silver base), Silver Ring eyeshadow (silver), Knight Divine eyeshadow (silver-black), Deep Truth eyeshadow (dark blue), Shroom eyeshadow (neutral highlighter), Urban Decay Ye-yo 24/7 Liner (white), Plushlash mascara (black)
Cheeks: Enough Said blush (soft peach)
Lips: YSL Lingerie Pink lipstick (cool pastel pink), Cult Fave lipglass (pink)
Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
Substitutes: Softwashed = Silverstroke; Enough Said = Bronzer; Lingerie Pink = Snob; Cult Fave = Pinkarat

Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Soft Ochre paint pot all over the lid as the base with the 249. On the inner lid, apply Silver Ring eyeshadow using the 239. Apply Knight Divine eyeshadow to the middle of the lid. Darken the outer lid using Knight Divine packed on and drag into crease using the 239. Darken crease with Deep Truth eyeshadow using the 239. Sweep Shroom underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Urban Decay Ye-yo 24/7 Liner on lower lash line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Enough Said blush using the 129. Apply YSL Lingerie Pink lipstick to lips, and then top with Cult Fave lipglass for color and shine.

Your dog is freakin adorable his ears look SO soft! Oh also I totally dig the silver eye, that’s right up my ally. Love grey and silver eyes, it looks fab!

Reply to this comment

He is pretty soft! My mom always comments on how soft his fur is. I think it’s his vitamin E supplements, LOL. I need to get on that train.

Thanks!

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Christine, def. one of your best. Love it.

OMG–Mellan!: who’s a cutie? who’s a cutie?

I have to do this look, when I go out next time using Waft, Gentle Fume and a mix of Constast & Tilt.

Reply to this comment

Good idea, Nicole! Those would work perfectly :D

Reply to this comment

Ooooh, I so love this look! It’s gorgeous!

Reply to this comment

Thanks, Brittany!

Reply to this comment

Beautiful look as always! You seem to be really enjoying Enough Said, which is funny because everyone I know has been raving to no end about Stark Naked. But Enough Said looks gorgeous on you, so I totally understand :)

That’s so cool that you used Yeyo! Do you know how people sometimes use white eye pencils to line their waterline to open up their eye? I was wondering, do you think that Yeyo would be appropriate for that? Or would it be too bright. Also, do you think it could be used for highlighting an inner corner?

Reply to this comment

Thank you! I adore Enough Said on me :)

Ye-yo is not as white as I’d like. It’s almost like a silvery-white, IMO! It would be fine to open up eyes, though. It’s definitely not too bright at all! But I might go with Fascinating eye kohl (I believe that’s MAC’s white one) for a whiter look.

Reply to this comment

VERY HOT! I love this! Smokey eyes usually look great on most people, I think.
You have such luscious lips! JELLING!
LOL

Reply to this comment

I agree on the smoky eyes! They’re very flattering :)

Thank you!

Reply to this comment

I love your lips and your doggie is so adorable! Damn you with your tan! I’m fading back to my pastey white self :(

Reply to this comment

LOL! I think my “tan” has faded and I’m back to my normal color, but I’m not sure, because my legs still match my arms, which never happens in the winter, LOL.

Thank you :)

I just have to say, YSL makes some of the best baby/light blue-pink lipsticks over the years. I am sooo going out to get this one now!

Reply to this comment

I’m totally loving the rouge volupte formula. THE BEST. I wish they had more shades!

Reply to this comment

I am really excited that is what you had on, as most people use a lot of MAC on the lips… (And I love MAC too.) You made me want to go check this out at the YSL counter tomorrow!

Reply to this comment

The YSL lipsticks are soo divine!

WOw - that is an amazing look! I’m in love with the lip colour/gloss combination.I’m doing some shopping after work tonight, and I’ve just added both to the list. YSL do the most fantastic pinks.

Reply to this comment

Thank you so much!! :) You will LOVE the rouge volupte line by YSL.

Reply to this comment

I plan on going to see the rouge volupte lipsticks in a couple of weeks, no doubt I’ll cave and buy 2 or 3 or 4 !!!!!!!! Huge kisses to the prettiest little man on earth, lots of soft velvet ear rubs.

Reply to this comment

They are hard to resist, I know it. I always want to get more, LOL.

I will pass those kisses and ear rubs on ;)

Reply to this comment

this is not a good look for you.. the eyes need better blending and the lips are way too coll for your skin tone.. mellan remains adorable..

Reply to this comment

Hi Kristelle,

Where does the blending need improvement? Could you let me know?

Reply to this comment

I think I know what the “problem” is. The blending is fine, but as you grew in your eyebrows, you lost space to play with colors. It makes things look more compacted that they did a few months ago. Personally, I think it’s sexy. :)

Reply to this comment

That might be it! Good thinking, Dee!

Kristelle,

I think the important part is she is gracious enough to share her looks and daily experiments with us. I know everyone whom experiments end up with a look that may not suit their skin tone or features 100% every time.

I used to be stuck in a glowy skin/black liner/pink lips look for a while and these blogs have really helped me get back on the artistic bandwagon. (Thanks Christine et al!)

Reply to this comment

whoa! I so love the gunmetallish color of this look. Awesome!!!

Reply to this comment

Thanks, Pia!

Reply to this comment

I thought the blue looked really striking! In a good way :) I hope Mellan’s in good health now though :P

Reply to this comment

Thanks! :) He’s doing as well as he can!

Reply to this comment

good to hear! :D

Reply to this comment

i loved your eyes and lips. i think the blush is a bit too orangey for this look though, might just be my personal preference:) thanks for posting, as always!

Reply to this comment

Thanks, Nat!

Reply to this comment

mellan is the cutest adorable dog ever!
