HOW TO: Smokey Eye

Nothing says sexy like the dark, smokey eye. With winter around the corner, this look adds a little bit of daring to your nighttime look. Done right, this drama demands attention, but too much black leaves you with panda eyes. Take these steps to make it perfect:

1. Start with a base that matches your skin tone. This helps smooth the surface of your eye so shadow stays put. Use either your regular liquid foundation or try MAC cosmetics “Paint.” This product goes on creamy and leaves a powdery finish, the perfect base coat.

2. Use a dark shadow (either black or dark brown) and apply to crease first. For black, try NARS “Night Clubbing.” For brown, try Bare Essentials Liner Shadow in “Bark." Use a brush like Sephora’s All Over Shadow Small Brush. Leave your eye open and place the brush in your crease and move in a half-moon motion, back and forth until the area is covered. Then fill in lid.

3. Using a contouring brush, like Sonia Kashuk’s for Target “Blending Brush,” blend the shadow above your crease, giving a faded look near the top of the eye.

4. For an extra kick, make cat eyes by extending the shadow in your crease to the outside of your eye at an angle. Fill in as you did your crease.

5. Finally, apply liner to the top and bottom of your lids. On the bottom, make sure to apply to the inner eye as well to keep the dark color balanced. Smudge with a brush sponge or Q-tip, and apply mascara. With that, you are ready to prowl the town.

D.I.Y.: Costume Quickies

Halloween demands a costume, but few of us want to drop $70 at a crowded costume shop, elbowing giggly teenagers and stoic goth couples. We also don’t want to spend three days crafting some mega costume (Statue of Liberty anyone?). Well when it's midnight on October 30, and your thoughts turn to holiday attire consider these quick options.
1. Joelene the Plumber. Forget Sarah Palin. Every brunette with a suit and a pair of red pumps and glasses who knows how to tease hair will go for this. Why not pick the other McCain staple: the female version of Joe the Plumber. A pair of cutoffs, a tee shirt, a trucker hat, and one wrench and you're home free. We suggest you skip the butt crack.

2. American Tourist. Throw on a Mickey Mouse or large straw hat with a loud printed dress (Hawaiian if possible), tennis shoes, and big sunglasses. Your most important accessories: maps, a camera, and maybe even a fanny pack.

3. The Morning-After Girl. Steal a pair of boxers and a button-down shirt from your boyfriend. Button the shirt like you tackled the challenge in the dark and in a rush. Throw on a your long strand of pearls, tights, and the highest pair of heels you possess

4. Static Cling: Wear all black and use safety pins to attach anything you would regularly find in your dryer: socks, underwear, bounce sheets, maybe even a hand towel.

5. A Deck of Cards: Where anything you want like jeans and a simple white tee. Then with double-sided tape attach all 52 cards. Start the night with 52 cards, but end the evening with 7 when the clock strikes midnight.
