Thandie's Smoky Winged Eye

At the premiere of Rocknrolla, Thandie Newton sported an interesting hybrid between the smoky eye and winged eyeliner - that I am now calling the "smoky winged eye." Now traditionally, the winged eyeliner is accomplished with a swoop of black liquid liner, which is forever classic and elegant. Thandie took the winged eyeliner look a step further by extending out her charcoal smoky eye and the result is stunning.

Eyes are perfectly imperfect as displayed in the picture above. One of the great things about this eye makeup, unlike the traditional winged eyeliner, is that its okay to mess up. Look at the photo - you can see little smudges of the charcoal eyeliner but it adds to the smoldering, carefree look!

To get Thandie's eyes:

Using a silver gray shadow such as MAC Silver Ring Eyeshadow, sweep the color across the lids up into the crease. Shade the outer corners and crease of the eyes with a dark gray shadow such as MAC Print Eyeshadow. Also use the dark gray shadow to line the lower lid. Blend the silver gray shadow into the dark gray shadow. Taking a stiff flat brush, use a black shadow such as MAC Carbon Eyeshadow to line the upper lids. Extend the black shadow out into a wing as you would with liquid liner.

On a side note, are Thandie and Gerard with other people? If not, they would make such a cute couple!
