Backstage Beauty: Smoking Hot Eyes at Diane von Furstenberg
By Jessica Prince
Backstage at Diane von Furstenberg yesterday, lead makeup artist James Kaliardos created "iridescent smoky eyes inspired by butterfly metamorphosis and peacock colors." As you can see, this=gorgeous! We watched as he created the look.
1. He applied black cream liner as eyeshadow, spreading it across the lids from the upper lash lines to the creases. Then a smaller shadow brush was used to "blend the color up to the brow bones."
2. Next, the black cream liner was applied along the lower lash lines and winged out along the outer corners.

3. M.A.C. Pro Loose Pigment in Steel Blue (a sparkly greenish blue) was applied below the lower lash lines and a brighter cobalt was applied in the inner corners of the upper lids.
4. He dabbed M.A.C. Pro 3D Glitter with a pointy brush just in the inner corners of the lids. He topped off the look with a "good, thick coating of mascara."
