Soft, smudgy gray eyeshadow won't quit no matter what time it is. Because it's already blended around the eye, any fallout and creasing will play into the look. Those who are prone to shadow drop down should take care to apply color under the eyes and on the outer corners to work with what the product will inevitably do.

Messy Liner
Nothing says rock 'n' roll like smudged black eyeliner, especially when it's paired with a wide headband. You don't have to be a Grammy winner to pull the look off. Rim eyes with a dark pencil, such as the NYX Tres Jolie Gel Pencil Liner, $11.99, and do not clean up the edges. The gel eyeliner will do its own thing by blurring with every blink to create a badass finish.

Black and Brown
When using multiple colors, blender brushes actually help create a lived-in makeup look by blurring the harsh lines between colors. Time will only make things better. So, if you're creating a smoky eye with black and brown eyeshadows and your blending skills aren't quite on point, know that as the party goes on makeup will get better and better.

Sweeps of Gray
Dramatic strokes of color will look good whether it's 9 a.m. or 9 p.m. Because of their random nature, people will think whatever look you're rocking is intentional. Don't let them think otherwise by correcting migration. Sweep the color on in confident brush strokes and leave it be.
