Fierce factor: 9.5
Picture this smoky cat eye with wimpy lashes. Doesn't quite work, does it? That's because the sultry makeup would completely overpower her eyes. To get a similar look, use a piece of tape as an outline for the cat eye.
Then, blend deep shades of brown from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner, blending right up along the tape. When you remove the tape, you'll have a perfectly defined line. Smoke out your bottom lash line, apply smoky black shadow to your upper lash line using a tapered brush, and finish with a pair of ultra long false lashes with medium volume.
Our pick: Make Up For Ever Lash Show C-709, $18. These handmade lashes gently fan out into a dramatic cat eye shape.

We love a smoky eye as much as the next girl, but if you want to bring it on your next night out, take a cue from Coco Rocha. It looks like she's wearing a violet smoky eye ... until you look closer and realize she's actually rocking a stacked-lash look.
She used Jay Manuel Beauty The Everything Mascara, $26, in Royale on her natural lashes, then topped them with mega-dark, mega-glamorous falsies. The end result: A multi-dimensional look that's sure to result in plenty of double takes.
Our pick: Artémes Lashes Twice Bitten, $40. Light-as-air mink lashes will give you the volume and length you crave, without weighing down your eyelids.
