Makeup How-To: Sexy, Smoky Eyes & Dark Lips

Create this sultry, smoky eye and bordeaux-colored lip look with the help of these tips from makeup artist Lauren Cosenza.

1. Line your eyes. Start by lining your eyes with a black eyeliner along your top and bottom lashlines and inside your waterline. Try Josie Maran Black Eyeliner.

2. Add dimension to your eyelid. Using a chocolate brown eyeshadow, like MAC Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Brun, brush the color over your lid using a contouring eyeshadow brush, then smudge the same shadow shade along your lower lashline.

3. Sweep shadow into the crease. Apply a brownish-champagne-colored eyeshadow to the brow bone using a fluffy brush and work it into the crease to diffuse any hard lines. Try CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Shadows in Tapestry Taupe.

4. Line and fill in your lips. To finish this allover dark look, line and fill in your lips with brown lip liner, like MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil in Boldly Bare. Finish by applying Aquaphor over the lip liner to give it some sheen.
