Make-up Trend: Not So Intense Smoky Eye

For Verve's November issue, make-up artist Subhash Vagal gave Deepika Padukone a suitably refined take on dark smudgy eyes. We wanted the look to have a hint of glitter and shimmer, but to still seem very contained. He started by rimming her lash lines with waterproof black liner, then blended a metallic gold shadow up to—but not above—the crease. Then, he swept shimmery black powder across the entire lid for a faded effect and winged it out, he dabbed it along the outter lash line, he then finished with tons of black mascara. This look accentuates the beautiful shape of Deepika's eyes and doesn't overpower her features.
