Elongated eye shadow may seem dated, but thanks to the muted tones and subtle blending in Lea Michele’s eye makeup, her look hits all the right notes. “Lea’s dress had a definite 70s feel, and I wanted her makeup to be fresh with a hint of drama on the eye,” her makeup artist Melanie Inglessis said. Inglessis began by blending a soft gold pencil onto the star’s eye to act as a base, then swept a shimmery berry pencil onto the outer corners of her eyes to create definition. “Be sure to blend everything in a back and forth motion to get rid of any harsh lines,” she advised. A quick sweep of dark powder shadow along the actress’s lash line helped to set the look, and added depth to the darker shades. A dab of copper shadow on the inner corners of Michele’s eyes and a few coats of mascara provided the finishing touch.
