• Leave the mix on the top lid of your pallet for touch-ups later in the evening and store your CS Lip Brush in the groove at the bottom of the pallet.  At the end of the evening, you can use a tissue to clean to top of your pallet for to re-cocktail a new color later!

Get the Look! ANTON'S SMOKY EYE

• Apply CS Eye Primer over lid up to brow and just blow lash line. Let sit for one minute.
• Apply a light shimmer or matte color of your choosing over the lid using Cinema Secrets Fluff Brush #4.
• Close your eyes and apply a soft smoky color like CS Pewter Eye Shadow across the lid and blend off the edges.
• Using a back and forth motion soften the darker shade and blend it with the other color.
• Using black eyeliner, sketch a line across the top lid and lower lid to define the eye.
• Use a cotton swab to smudge the liner slightly to give a softer look
• Curl lashes and remember to pump the curler as you make your way down the lash for a more even curl.
• Apply mascara to the top and underside of the lashes.

Great dark shadows to play with residing in the CS line: Plum Wine, Galaxy, Pewter, Taupe, Smoke, Twister Navy, Dark Brown, and Very Black.

TIP: Smoky eyes don't have to only use nude, black or grey, the lighter and darker shades can be any combination of your choosing. Smoky refers to the soft smoke-like effect the blended shadow gives.  Leave them feeling the heat of your gaze!

• Use a light cream foundation to highlight between the breasts and blend the edges out. Raja is using #506-15 from CS Foundation Palette #06 with the CS Kolinsky Sable Flat #18 brush.
• Using a dark cream foundation brush on either side of the highlight in a backward parenthesis shape to create contour. You can use the same brush you used to highlight. It will cancel out the lighter color. Again, blend to soften the edges. Raja is using #110-23A from CS Foundation Palette #09.
