The "I Look Like I Got Punched In the Eye" Look

Smoky Silver Eye Shadow Look

Simply Glamorous: Gary Cockerill

So recently, New Years Eve just passed by this week, and the typical makeup look for the staying up all night long look was silver and glitter.  Because, we all want to look like we are wearing a disco ball on top of our eyes. So grab your glitter and prepare to dazzle.
DISCLAIMER: Mentally prepare yourself for what you are going to see.

Text: "If you want to glam the whole thing up and take the eyes to the max, try glitter- it's a great way to dress eyes up for the evening." (Cockerill 109)

Paraphrased: Putting glitter in your make-up look can dress up your eyes for a more of a glam look. \

Impact: Personally, I love glitter and/or anything sparkly on top of my eye lid. Adding glitter into my look truly made it a "New Years Eve" look. It tied the whole look together. So for the major of my looks, it will involve glitter.

Text: "How To Choose Colors Brown Eyes... coppers, ambers, grays, charcoals, purples, greens, peaches, bronzes, teals, navy." (Cockerill 119)

Paraphrased: Copper, amber, gray, charcoal (black), purple, green, peach, bronze, teal, and navy colors are good colors for those with brown eyes.

Impact: Without this list of colors that are  recommended for me, I wouldn't quite know what colors to be the main part of the look. I categorized as Silver into gray since they are in a similar family group.

All in all, this was just a test run of a smoky eye, I used the colors that are suited for my eye color, and I want to have a theme all around and I decided on "New Years Eve", so this look was created.

The Finished Look

Question: How do you do a smoky eye without making it look like you got punched in the eye a bunch of times?
Answer: Obviously I cant.
