Lets talk eyeliner: Biggest new trends

Chat w/ me on google for more beauty advice. I'm Lily V!

Eyeliner. The key to a smokey eye. The liner to the eye. It seals the look all together. Now, what is falls biggest trend?

Olive greens, Deep charcoals, and slight silvers!

Sorry for the inconvinience, we do not have any olive green eyeliner models.

Here is Emily Deschanel modeling a charcoal-ish colored eyeliner. You like as much as 56 does? You bet!!!
And Kristin Stewart here is modeling a silver smokey eye. And here we go into smokey for fall.

Smokey eyes this fall are a must for going out. How to pull off 3 levels of smokey.

Level 1: Naturally Dramatic.
1. Start with a primer or whatever you use on your lids.
2. Contour the eyes with a brown liner.
3. Use a peachy pink-ish color on the inside corner of eye and browbone. Dust lightly.
4. Next, use a soft (but dark) pink on the crease and along lash line.
5. Now take a dark brown (matte) shadow and use on outer corner of eye and meet up with medium shade in the crease.
6. Place another coat of brown eyeliner along lash line.

Level 2: Drama Queen Sidekick.
1. use step 1 from level 1.
2. Use a dark gray or charcoal along lash line.
3. Then, use a white or cream shadow on inside corner, brow bone, and underneath eye.
4. Next, use a turquoise-ish shade from the lash line to just below the browbone. For a more dramatic appear, wing outwards.
5. Then, take a navy blue and accent the contour (medium) shade by winging it outwards also, from lash line to brow bone.
6. Lastly, put another layer of eyeliner along lash line.
