Estee Lauder – Night Time Glamour With Blacker Than Black
For New Years Eve I always think of it as an opportunity to wear black with some sparkle and shine and have fun getting dressed up – get out of your comfort zone! Estée Lauder’s new Blacker Than Black collection is perfect for a smoky eye occasion such as New Year’s Eve.
This beautiful new Black Smoke eye shadow quad is perfect for creating that sexy, smoky eye. The colors in this palette are a white soft shimmer (upper left) which I highly suggest NOT using under your eyebrow, but instead at the inside corners of your eye. The bluish grey shade (upper right) shows pretty true to color in the photo, and has a slight shimmer to it. On the bottom right is a classic grey shade. It’s not as blue as it shows in the photo and it is matte. This shade actuality reminds me of a beautiful grey cashmere sweater. Love the shade! And on the lower right is a dark charcoal – almost black – but not quite, shade that has a few golden flecks in it. I love this shade as well. Probably the only shade in the palette that my skin tone would have trouble with is the upper right, but blended with the classic grey shade it could tone down the blue that doesn’t look good on my skin.
They’ve also added a deep Blacker Than Black shade to their mascaras as well. You certainly don’t want wimpy eye lashes with a smoldering eye. Take it the deepest black and make your eyes pop. The Turbo Lash mascara in Turbo Black shade is their vibrating mascara that gets every single lash coated, even the tiniest ones. Start with that and top it off with one of their volumizing mascaras like Projectionist in Jet Black.
Just remember, when doing a dark smoky eye, keep your lips and cheeks neutral. You want to look sexy, not like you stepped out of an 80’s video.
