Want Red Carpet-Worthy Makeup? Try a Smoky Cat-Eye Look

Hudson, pictured here promoting her film "Nine" in London with silver and charcoal eye makeup, has been one of the many celebrities rocking the smoldering trend. The smoky cat-eye look is perfect for a night on the town.

To get it, start out by applying silver shadow on your eyelids and charcoal-gray shadow in your creases. Use a soft makeup brush to blend the two shades together as you extend the shadow past the outer corners of your eyes for a cat-eye effect.

Next, dust the silver eyeshadow on the inner corners of your eyes to highlight them. Then get ready to use eyeliner - and a lot of it! Line the inner rims and lash lines of your eyes with a dark colored eye pencil like black or gray.

Finish the sultry eye look with multiple coats of black mascara applied after curling your lashes. For maximum definition, use a mascara that has a small brush.
