Beautiful colors like purple, blue and greens are the perfect colors to create a bright flare that gives your eyes flair. For a rich effect, darken the eyelids to an almost lustrous texture while the outer edges are hazy. The sexy shine is amplified if you mix two different shades of blue.

Smoky Wings

If one morning you’re torn between the cat eye and the smoky eye to look amazing for the day, how about going for a mix of both? Use a blend of silver and black to achieve the desired result. First, brush the black smoky shadow in a wing shape on your lids, after which you apply a metallic grey shadow from the inside to the center of the lid for a silver finish.

Silver Goddess

Silvery blue or any kind of light color with a silver hue can transform your face. Silvery blue is perfect for a delicate radiance to porcelain features. Diffuse it in a natural tone over your eyelids in sweeping arcs, particularly if you’re drawing cat eyes. Thicken it on the upper lid and thin on the lower lids. Go for elegant and charming by selecting a color which is vibrant but muted.

Subtle Smoky Eyes

Maybe you are a reserved kind of girl, and want to flaunt the smoky eyes without it being too obvious. Get the show-stopper smoky eyes without too much application of makeup. You need an eyeshadow kit featuring three customized shades, in symphony of colors that can be blended on your eye lids. The eyeshadows must suit the color of your eyes and your skin tone. Take the darkest color and apply it to your lids, blending till the crease. Add the medium shade onto the crease, merging with the first shade. The lighter shade of the kit is swept across the surrounding area. Some women dab it in the inner corners of the eyes, to look alert and cheery eyed. The entire look should be understated, as you are going for subtle.

Reflective Smoky Eyes

Take a nude eyeshadow with a hint of shimmer, which is spread across your eye lids, basically cover your eye lids in the nude shimmer. It should beautifully reflect the light. Next, use a light vanilla, heavy with the shimmer and with a smooth finish that can be easily mixed with the nude base. Brush a heavy dose on the inner corner of your eye to the outer end. Line the lower part of your eyelids with it to complete the effect. Next, is the accents, which are two companion colors, a darker magenta, and its lighter, shimmery sister. Create the typical smoky eyes side ‘V’ on the corner of your eyes and fill it in with the darker magenta. Particularly, make it darker on your crease, so the bright color is really showy. Blend the lighter color over the darker color and lightly add it to the reflective surface. Use liquid eyeliner to create a winged eye liner look. Definition is very important.
