The Palettes You Need Now To Create A Casual Weekend Sexy Smoky Eye

Unless you’re a fan of the ‘80s TV show Dynasty (that’s not to say we’re not excited about its CW reboot) or like goth makeup, then it’s probably safe to assume you’re not big on overly dramatic dark eye makeup. After all, the aim is to look sexy, not scary. More Victoria’s Secret Angel Taylor Hill, and less Taylor Swift in her Bad Blood video. These new eyeshadow palettes give great colour payoff but are made with smooth powders so your makeup looks polished and not smudgy. We are especially digging the new emphasis on taupes, coppers and bronzes that give depth to your peepers without making them looking overdone.
