Steely Gaze

By Guest Blogger Sidory Dan-Perry

The fall beauty trends have already hit stores! So be sure to snatch up some of autumn’s hottest eye shadows.

Dolce & Gabbana has reinvented the purples, steel blues and grays that were so stylish in the eighties, making them fun again!

The perfect set of these shades is D&G’s Smooth Eye Colour Quad in “Night”

This quad contains four velvety shades of light metal gray, dark cobalt blue, lush lavender and violet!

There are endless color combinations.

For instance, lightly sweep the gray onto the lid as your base color.

Then apply the lavender color.

Using an eye crease blending brush apply the violet shade into the crease as a muted contour.

If you want a stronger contour use the dark cobalt color instead.

Next take an angled eyeliner brush and apply the dark cobalt blue along the lash line.

You can even apply some of the lavender color underneath the bottom lash line to make the eyes pop.

Let your inner artist out to play!
