The Gemstone Smoky Eye
The holiday season is no time to tame your smoky eye. Up the glam factor by swapping matte grays and blacks with shimmery jewel-toned shadows, like the festive emerald green look that appeared at Anna Sui's fall/winter 2014 show.

Oftentimes, a dramatic statement eye is paired with a muted lip to ensure the overall look doesn't get too overpowering. But this 1920s-inspired smoky is meant to be part of an all-out statement look. Channel your inner flapper by pairing it with an oxblood lip for a color combo that is festive but still very fashion-forward.

How to Get The Look: The Gemstone Smoky Eye
Use a liquid foundation to even out skin tone, and cover up any lingering redness with a concealer.

Next, line inner rims with black eyeliner, then blend metallic emerald green shadow on the lids and upper and lower lashlines. When you reach the outer corners, use a blending brush to pull the shadow into an exaggerated, smudged cat-eye shape. Pat a frosty pale green shadow along the inner corners of the eyes to create an eye-opening highlight. Load black mascara on top and bottom lashes.

Finish the look by applying a deep red lipstick. Blot and repeat to build fullness.
