How to Create Sexy Smokey Eyes

Smokey eyes are sultry and sexy and will never go out of style. They have become a classic make-up look for parties and other very special occasions. Mastering the smokey eye technique takes time and a lot of practice, but with Genus Ng's step-by-step instructions it becomes very easy. Just follow her tips to give yourself fabulous, and sexy, smokey eyes.

Step 1: Understand it's all about technique
Before you start creating those great smokey eyes, you should realize that smokey eyes are all about technique. It is not about color, but about application and even more about blending (the look we are after is smokey, after all!).

Step 2: Choose a color scheme
The classic smokey eye look uses a monochromatic color scheme. Choose a color you like (classic gray or brown, or even green or blue) and pick out three shades in that color (light, medium and dark).

Step 3: Start with the light color
First of all you sweep the light color over your entire eye lid, from lash to brow bone. Use a blending brush to blend the product all over the eyelid.

Step 4: Add the medium color
Change your blending brush for a defining brush and apply the medium color on the middle of your eyelid.

Step 5: Tip the dark color near your lashes
Then tip the dark color near your lashes. The more layers you add the more dramatic your look will be. Also add some color under your eyes.

Step 6: Blending!
The key to perfect smokey eyes is to blend the colors properly. So blend the three colors together to soften color differences and to create an eye make-up that gradually goes from light (brow bone) to dark (near the lashes).

Step 7: Use eyeliner
Use an eyeliner that matches with the eye shadow color scheme. Don't forget to color also you bottom lids.

Step 8: Coat your lashes with mascara
Coat your lashes with dramatically black mascara to open up your eyes and to complete the smokey look.

Why Sunscreen Is Still Important in Winter

Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean you can put away your sunscreen. Even though there are plenty of Winter layers to keep you warm (and covered), don't forget to keep your face, neck, and hands protected from the sun's harmful rays.
Snow and ice reflect UV rays. Sure, it might seem gray outside, but snow and ice reflect the sun's rays. This means you should keep your SPF routine up on a daily basis. Heading to the slopes? You'll definitely want a stronger sunscreen formula made for Winter sports — because windburn is most uncomfortable.
There's a thinner ozone layer. The colder seasons mean the ozone layer is thinning out. So, there is less ozone in our atmosphere to absorb the sun's UV radiation. Even though it feels colder outside, there's actually more of the sun's harmful rays hitting the earth's surface and, yes, your skin. Prevent getting a cold-weather burn by using a product with SPF 30 or more

How-To: Repair a Broken Eye Shadow

The eye shadows are so buildable and blendable that it's hard not to love them, but because they're so soft, they tend to break. Then you're left with tiny bits of Kitten all over the place, which means a lot of product goes to waste.
 In just three steps, you can rehabilitate your broken shadow and make it as good as new. To find out how to do it, read more.
 Here's how to do it:

• Step one: Use a clean mascara wand (like the testers at Sephora) or Q-tip to gently scrape away any loose bits of shadow.
• Step two: Place a Kleenex on top of the broken shadow, then use your index finger to press down on it. Use a series of small pressing motions rather than a few big ones.
• Step three: Remove the Kleenex, and you should have an intact shadow once again. (I turned mine upside down and it stayed in one piece. Success!)
