If you’re afraid dark eye shadow will look too severe, take a tip from Leslie Mann and opt for a subdued smoky eye. We love how her look isn’t dominated by the deep shadows, but they still make a sultry impact. “Leslie’s look is pretty simple and modern,” her makeup artist Melanie Inglessis said. “We had to make sure it stayed on all day, since the event was in Las Vegas.” Inglessis created the effect by first defining Mann’s eyes with a thick swipe of liner, winging it out at the end. She then layered a purple cream shadow onto Mann’s lid, and blended it slightly over the liner with a small brush to soften the definition. Because of the cream shadow’s texture, you can achieve a more subtle effect. Inglessis smoothed more of the color on the outer corners of Mann’s eye to add depth, then finished up with a quick swipe of mascara.
