How to Do a Colorful Smoky Eye Without Looking Overdone

Bond girl Bérénice Marlohe took the common smoky eye to new heights with blue and red accents at the Skyfall London photocall yesterday.

Bond girl Bérénice Marlohe took the common smoky eye to new heights with blue and red accents at the Skyfall London photocall yesterday. The key to getting this palette more gorgeous than garish is to balance the severity of the brighter tones with an equally intense application of liner. To get the look, start by loading up on black liner on the top and bottom lash lines. Sweep on a shimmery marine shadow, like L'Oréal Hip in Showy ($8), from lash lines to creases, extending the hue into the inner corners and the outer edges. Finish by adding an on-trend crimson eyeliner or lip liner shade underneath the eye to lend a pop of color. And with an eye makeup look this daring, it's wise to keep everything else simply neutral.

MTV Movie Awards Trend Alert: Just Peachy Eye Makeup

The MTV Movie Awards proved to be a playground for Tangerine Tango, Pantone's Color of the Year.

The MTV Movie Awards proved to be a playground for Tangerine Tango, Pantone's Color of the Year. Julianne Hough, for instance, chose a sparkling metallic orange eye shadow above and below her lids, and paired it with a soft pink gloss on the lips. Charlize Theron went for a shimmery peach shade, which added a bit of glitz and glimmer to her otherwise natural makeup palette. For Leighton Meester, her love affair with tangerine didn't just stop with the eyes, as the star also wore the bright shade on her lips and cheeks.

If the first half of the year is any indication, expect to see this fiery shade on red carpets everywhere well into the holiday season.
