The weather is heating up and so are the make-up trends for Spring and Summer! The bold and smokey eye is here to stay, and slightly updated. Using greens and purples work well with any eye color and are a bit more fun than the standard grays or blacks. Keep the smokey eye contained and for a more polished look like Blake and Taylor, apply the dark shadow only to the lid and don’t blend outwards too much towards the brow line.

Want to try it, but feeling a bit intimidated with these dark hues? That happened to me too. Then, I was given a smokey eye kit from Bare Escentuals and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get a perfect smokey eye all on my own. :) Plus, you can feel good about the non-toxic natural mineral layers you are piling on when using Bare Escentuals- go boldly bare!

Beso.com offers the full Bare Escentuals line complete with the primer you will want to scoop up to get that bold eye to stick. I never thought to use a primer, but lately it is the talk of the town as it really does make a difference in how your long your eye make-up lasts and for perfecting you look.
