This smoky eye look is just soft enough for the warmer season. Use a flat concealer brush to apply eye primer all over the lid. Dust a sheer, neutral shadow from the lash line up to the brow bone with a large shadow brush. Apply a bronzey-brown shadow all over the lid and into the crease with a smaller shadow brush.

With an even more compact shadow brush, draw a thin line of shadow along your upper lash line on the outer half of the lid. Use the same brush to create a graphic cat-eye shape by following the natural curvature of the lower lash line up and out. Top it off with lots and lots of mascara on your top and bottom lashes.

Metallic nails are huge this summer, and this minimalist mani is a great example of nail art for mere mortals.

Slather on a base coat, followed by a coat of silver metallic polish. Let your nails dry completely, then place a piece of painter's tape at an angle, leaving a small sliver of nail on one side. Paint a thin coat of white polish on the exposed part of the nail. Let it dry completely before repeating on the other side with black polish. Finish the look with top coat.
