Soft Winged Eyes for Work/School using 2 Sables

—

MAC Sable layered over Revlon Soft Sable! The rich mauve-toned metallic brown can make some eyes look a little bruised. Layering it over a dark matte brown on the outer lids gives it depth and keeps it from looking too red against some skin tones.

Just smoke it straight outwards at the outer 1/3 of the lids for a slight wing. This is the easy way to wear smoky eyes without it looking too over-the-top for work!

Alexa Chung’s Warm Defined Eyes and Red Lips at the Met Ball

I love how this classic look is made up of warm tones, and looks soft yet polished at the same time. 

Get the look with a red-brown shadow like MAC Sable, and black liner very close to the upper lash line, and just at the outer corners of the lower lashes. The blusher is matte and warm (try a shade like MAC Foolish Me), and lips a deep, matte red.
