Get The Look: The House Bunny's Smoky Eye

Go see The House Bunny when it hits theatres August 22nd, and just try telling us you don’t totally covet Anna Faris’ smokin’ hot smoky eye look.

Well, it’s jackpot! day - creator of the look and lead makeup artist on set, Patty York, shows us how she gave Anna Faris The House Bunny Smoky Eye.

PREP LIDS
“Use primer! Foundation or moisturizer on the lid helps blending. Then use a very soft translucent powder on the lid to set the canvas, covering your entire eye from eyebrow to eyelash.”

FIRST LAYER
“NARS and Lorac both have these silver-grays and dark grays that have just a bit of shimmer (you can use matte, but a touch of shimmer works great, even in day). Cover the bottom half of your eyelid from the inner corner to the middle with lighter gray, then use the darker gray to finish out all the way to the outer lashes. Fan it out by stroking the color up a bit.”

SECOND LAYER
“Take a soft black color, like the shades from Laura Mercier, and layer on, starting at the outer edge of your eye, moving up to the crease. This is where your blending skills come in!”

LINER
“Finish with a fantastic eyeliner. I don’t like liquids here – I like smudgable liners. In the movie, Anna’s wearing Cargo Katmandu. The cream liner in this compact sweeps on, and is good for smudging. I finish by fanning out a little at the outer corner of the eye.”

HIGHLIGHT
“Take Dior Diorlight eyeshadow and create a sideways “v” at the inner corner of your eye, then apply a little more along your brow bone. I like this color especially because it’s got a pearly sheen, and really opens up the eye.”

UNDER EYE
“Underneath lower lashes, I don’t line with pencils. A better trick is to take shadow and with a thin, skinny brush, smoke up the lashes underneath, especially at the edge (really blend!). All truly smoky eyes need a bottom and top layer.”

CLEAN UP
“A smoky eye is messy work, so apply concealer last. Extend it all the way out to your cheekbones—you don’t want any shadows. I always add NARS Copacabana or Benefit’s Miss Popularity to the temples and cheekbones, too.”
