This Is Not Your Grandma's Smoky EyeThe classic night-out eye gets a serious makeover |
Makeup artists have been flogging the smoky eye since the beginning of time (or at least since the invention of eyeliner). And for many of us (myself included), the smoky eye has been our default going-out look for more than a decade. This all adds up to one thing: the smoky eye is getting borrr-ing.
This fall, the classic smoky eye is getting an overdue update. Instead of basic black and gray smudginess, the new smoky eye trends include a slew of bold colors and modern shapes -- plus, there are loads of amazing new eye shadows, mascaras and liners to help you DIY.
Here are our five favorite new smoky eyes and the products you need to make 'em happen. Just remember, the age-old rule still holds true: you can't wear a smoky eye with a bold lip. Downplay the rest of your makeup, and leave your lips bare. Your new smoky eye should be the center of attention.
