Pastel Smoky Eye

Michael Kors’ spring 2010 collection was a myriad of pastel purples and blues with pops of cream, white, and black—and makeup maestro Dick Page captured the palette perfectly, all on one eye. According to Page, the eyes reflect “amped-up” versions of the hues seen on the runway; lavender becomes a striking amethyst tone, pale blue transforms into a silvery aqua, and cream comes forth as gold. All swirl around the white of the eye, with bold black liner and fringe as a frame.

To create the striking look, Page began by using the Shiseido Accentuating Color Stick in Champagne and Rosy Flush, mixing the two together and dabbing onto the lid as a base. He then added Shiseido Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Fondant and contoured with Amethyst (he also applied Amethyst underneath the eye with a wet brush). Next came a touch of gold shadow in the inner corner, and black cream liner on the upper and lower lash line (Page used a wet brush to wedge the product in between lashes). For a bold finish, lashes received a healthy coating of black mascara.
