3 Fab Looks From Makeup Expert Charlotte Tilbury
Eye Makeup For Day
“For a gorgeous, soft and natural look, swipe on the Jean shadow, which is inspired by Marilyn Monroe and Jean Harlow. It's a sparkling pink Champagne color that perfectly off-sets blue eyes. The water-infused formula soothes and hydrates the eye area and offers seamless application for results that last all day.”
Eye Makeup For Night
“For a dramatic nighttime look, amp things up by using Cleopatra—a vibrant peacock hue inspired by one of the most powerful women in history—with a blending brush. Work the brush back and forth over the lid like a windshield wiper for a high-sheen intense smoky eye that doesn’t crease."
Eye Makeup For A Special Occasion
“For a special occasion, transform your smoky eye from chiffon to liquid lamé by dampening the brush. The velvety texture allows you to build up deep, intense colors. The Mona Lisa shadow is a warm, amber bronze in homage to the world-famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci. Mona Lisa’s gaze holds eye contact through a genius technique, invented by Leonardo da Vinci, called sfumato—the original smoky eye!”
