Mattese Elite Presents: How To Achieve the METALLIC SMOKEY EYE
Read on for a complete how-to, product suggestions and tips & tricks from Carmen Kenig, the visionary behind Mattese Elite!
1. PREP - To prep the eye, apply an eye treatment specifically targeting your skincare needs.
2. PRIME - Evenly apply eye primer all over the lid - from the lash line to the brow bone - to prevent shadow from creasing or wearing off throughout the night.
3. DEFINE - Starting from the inner corner of the upper lash line, use a dark, creamy liner to create soft, dash-line strokes. Ensure the dashes are connected and extend to the outer corners.
4. BUILD - With a shadow brush, tap on a metallic eye shadow of your choice directly on top of your previously applied eyeliner. Use the brush to blend out the color towards the brow bone creating a diffused, dark-to-light transition. Build intensity as desired by applying more shadow to the lash line and blend!
5. LINE - To finalize the look, line the lower waterline - the inner bottom lash line - with an eyeliner that matches your metallic eye shadow. This creates intensity giving your eyes major impact.
6. CURL - Curl your lashes with your favorite lash curler. Add two coats of the blackest, volumizing mascara and you’re all set!
TIPS & TRICKS:
Remember, glitter is a girl’s best friend when used in the right amounts. The holidays are your time to shine so don’t be afraid to wear bright, beautiful metallics that suit your skin tone.
Minimize the rest of your makeup so the focus is on your beautiful eyes!
For a more intense, sensual look, smudge out the lower liner applied to the lower waterline. This creates an all-around smokey look, perfect for nighttime wear. Your eyes will sparkle in any light!
