Get Kristin’s Smokey Look

Kristin Cavallari Kristin Cavallari’s makeup always looks so pretty! I love the smokey eye looks she always wears in Laguna Beach. This time, she spiced it up with some golden, summery eye shadows! Here’s how you can get her look:

1. With the NARS Duo Cream Eyeshadow [$31] in Summer Time, sweep the Champagne shade all over lid.

2. Sweep the Sunset Gold shade in the same duo on crease for a pretty, summery look. Blend well.

3. Draw a line along the upper lash line with MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved [$13.50], starting from the inner corner and working your way out. Then, draw a line along the lower lash line, starting at the outer corner and working your way in. Apply liner on the lower inner rim as well for a sexy, smokey look.

4. Apply two coats of Diorshow Black Out Mascara in Kohl Black [$23] on top lashes, followed by two coats on bottom lashes. This will give you full, voluminous, fluttery lashes!

5. Sweep Stila Cheek Color Pan in Dance [$16] on apples of cheeks for a pretty pink glow.

6. Every smokey eye always looks fabulous paired with baby pink lips! Apply Chanel Lèvres Scintillantes Glossimer in Glow [$25] for a shimmery, light pink pout!
