When it comes to makeup regimen, mine is very simple. Scrub face, apply moisturizer, swish some blusher powder, brush up with a bronzer or illuminating powder and apply lipstick. Done.

I haven’t been much of an eye makeup person, simply because I could never get it right. Sometimes I’d apply something shimmery on my eyelid and top it with smoky pencil, smudged just at the base of my lids.

I always wanted that smoky, mysterious come-hither looks that stars often wore at the red carpet, but no matter how much “What Not to Wear” show I watch I still couldn’t perfect the technique. So it’s quite intriguing to find an eye makeup that talks you through the process.

This Stila Smoky Eye Palette comes complete with four shades you need to create vampy eyes and a talking instruction that guides you through each set. How cool is that!
