Not quite grey, but with the slightest purple hint, Mena Suvari’s taupe shadow smoldered against her otherwise natural makeup without taking away from her dramatic ensemble. “We kept the hair and makeup quite effortless as she was wearing vintage,” her makeup artist David Stanwell told us. “We wanted to mix the two looks together as opposed to doing hair up with a strong lip or eye.” If a bold smoky eye is too severe for you, follow the star’s lead and incorporate a soft taupe shade instead. Start with a neutral base, then use a dome-tipped shadow brush to swirl the color into your crease and outer area of your lash line. Ground the look with a thick sweep of liner like Suvari. Stanwell finished with a generous amount of a gel eyeliner by Bobbi Brown and an ample coating of mascara. Perfect!
