The oldest of four children, Paris Hilton is known for her part as heiress to the Hilton Hotel empire. She has been loved and hated by the public and has a knack for gathering attention no matter what she does or where she goes, so it’s no surprise that those who do love her, love her look as well. If you just happen to be one of Paris’s followers and have ever wanted to learn how to achieve her smoky eyes look, here’s how.

Before you begin, you may want to prep your eyes with an eye primer if you want your makeup to last longer. Then, start by lining the entire eyes with black pencil eyeliner. Next, using black liquid eyeliner, create a line across the upper lash line and widen it at the outer corners. Then, create a line beginning midway along the lower lash line and bring it out to meet the upper line. If you’d like, you can go one step further by applying the same black eye pencil to the inside contour of the eyes.

Sweep a soft gray eye shadow into the crease of the eye in the shape of a half-moon and blend carefully. Using a shimmering white eye shadow, apply it at the center crease of the eye where the iris meets. Or you may want to highlight the brow bone using the same shade of eye shadow instead.

Finally, apply one or two coats of black mascara to the upper and lower lashes and you are finished. For an even more dramatic look, you can apply a strip of false lashes before applying your mascara.

To complete this look, prep your lips with a moisturizing lip balm and wait a few minutes. Finally, apply a very pale lip-gloss.

Some Tips to Remember:

·    Always focus on the eyes and never anywhere else. Keep your lips and blush color to a pale look to make eyes more dramatic and avoid looking clownish.

·    The key to perfecting the smoky eye look is to blend, blend and blend.

·    For an even more dramatic finish and to balance out your look, don’t forget to enhance your eyebrows as well. You can do this by, first using a pair of tweezers to shape your brows and then fill them in with a brow pencil that is a color similar to your brows.

·    Don’t limit yourself to the eye shadow colors suggested above. Try using browns, plums or even blues to create an even more unique smoky effect.

·    If you have small eyes, don’t apply the eyeliner too close to the inner part of your eye that is next to your nose.

·    To avoid the under eye raccoon look, apply your foundation after you have applied your eye makeup. Once you are finished with your eyes you can easily sweep away any fallen shadow without the mess.

Finally, remember that practice makes perfect. After all, you don’t want to end up with a look that says, “ I have two black eyes!”
