Beauty secrets of supermodels-2


Gold Rush For a fast smoky eye, Leonard dotted black pencil between the lashes and lined the lower inner rims. Then she blended the liner with a slick black gloss for extra sex appeal. As a final touch, she mixed a dab of lip balm with gold shadow and gilded the inner eye corners. "Highlighting the eyes opens up the face," she says.

Violet Femme To warm up the purple eyeshadow, Leonard blended peach blush with a hint of shimmer high on the cheekbone and up to the lids. "Too much powder can look dated. A touch of iridescence gives skin a youthful luminosity," she says. Salmon lips have more attitude than nude but still look soft.

Pinkberry "Fuchsia lipstick is more fun and playful than the classic red," according to Leonard, who first lined the model's lips with MAC Lip Pencil in Magenta to prevent color bleeding. "It's a versatile shade that suits girls with fair or dark hair." To balance the bold look, she suggests a clean swipe of lengthening - not thickening - mascara. "With a bright lip, you don't want heavy black lashes."

Gray's Anatomy Black cat-eye liner can look like Amy Winehouse on a bad day, so Leonard prefers more wearable gray hues instead. With surgical precision, she filled in the upper lashes with gray pencil and dragged out the line at the outer corners of the eye to create a slightly winged shape. Then she smudged a bit of gray shadow along the lower lashline "to make it a little sexier. You don't even need mascara." Call it smoky lite.
