The timeless, classic smoky eye look will never go out of style, no matter what anybody says and whatever fads may come and go. To get it, start with eyeshadow primer. Avon's fmg Cashmere Multi-Peptide Eyeshadow Primer is, of course, the best. Then, use two to three different eyeshadow shades, darker closest to the eye to lighter closest
to the brow for depth, finishing with eyeliner and mascara for a dramatic effect.
Blend, blur, blend, blur. You want a soft look. Avon's five star rated fmg Eyeshadow Blending Brush, shown below, is your bestie when it comes to blending. It features a soft, domed crease brush on one end and a flattened, all-over eyeshadow brush on the other to apply and buff eyeshadow.
Think Beyond Basic Black
Avon's fmg Glimmer Multi Eyeshadow Quad in Vixen gives you gorgeous deep blues and silver to play with. If more natural, neutral and earthy is your vibe try Maven or Minx, shown below. There are 8 color combos to choose from so you can find whatever best compliments your eye color and skin tone.
There are even quads in matte finish if you prefer. Matte or shimmer is a personal choice depending on your style. Matte may be better for daytime and work wear, while shimmer is a little more dramatic for a date night or girls' night out. But there are no rules. Whatever makes you feel beautiful is what matters.
To keep your gorgeous smoky eye look smudge-proof and looking fresh all day, set it and forget it with Avon's fmg Set and Fix Spray. The lightweight formula controls oil and creates a protective shield to help condition and smooth skin and keep your makeup smudge-proof and set in place. The ultrafine mist dries quickly to an invisible finish with no nasties. It's FORMULATED WITHOUT phthalates, parabens, sulfates, silicones or talc.

Health and Safety Tip
Clean at least once a week to maintain quality and prevent the buildup of dirt and bacteria. Oh, I should do a future article on makeup brush cleaning. Think I just might.
