Discover how to recreate the perfect smoky eye seen at the Dior show in 4 steps.
1. Apply a line of kohl from the base of the lashes to the outer corner, extending a little beyond. Since the lash line is “greasy,” the liner is especially malleable and can be blended into a smudgy effect. Blend the entire line.
2. Choose a fluffy brush and saturate it with deep black eyeshadow, and apply it across the entire lid.
3. Then dab a tiny touch of silver eyeshadow to the inner corners of the eye, to add a pop of light.
4. Finally, apply a thin veil of moisturizing cream over the entire eyelid to create a dewy, fresh effect.
The rest of the look should be kept very simple with such a strong look. For the lips, just add a touch of nude lipstick for a natural but sophisticated effect. Dior’s Nude Fauve is the perfect shade to achieve this.
Rouge Dior Nude Fauve Fini Satin
As for the face, opt for a natural but luminous foundation, like Dior’s new Forever Skin Glow nude, which delivers a radiant finish, which is a key trend for next season: “I’ve done a lot of interviews for Asia and I can just feel it. Everything is glowy, the complexion, the lips, the eyes, the light, it’s the buzzword for the season.” The final look is a soft satin finish all over the face and is “more glamorous than a simple nude.” It’s the kind of “jazzy night club” makeup that we’ll be seeing everywhere this summer.
