I obviously love vintage 60's Daliah Lavi looks in The Silencer or Casino Royale, this is one of my all time favorite. So this is a How to for the Smokey eye effect my hip
grandma wore in the 60’s with her suede bells and fringe vest. Pale lipped,
strong creamy contrast and lashes are the order of day.
Face
Start recreating this look by
prepping up your skin. Wash it well and put on some makeup primer to keep your
skin healthy and make your makeup last longer.
Next, apply foundation and if
needed, concealer. This look is very matte so we’d suggest using a foundation
with a matte finish. I loved the Chanel Perfection lumiere. If you don’t have
one available you can create that matte finish by setting your foundation with
powder. How ever, depending on your age this can be aging. The powder settles
in the creases. Trust me I know.
Brows
The eyebrows for this look are
arched well but they’re not exactly well defined, this updates the retro look.
You can achieve by taking some eye shadow and applying that to your brows with
a brush. Tigi cosmetics make a great brow definers and its moisture proof. Use
very light short strokes moving sideways to create that slightly fuzzy effect.
Eyes
Now it’s time to work on your
lids and for this you will need one
matte eye shadow in black and the other one in black precision pen is my choice, plus a good blending brush. Tigi and Mac brushes both are
excellent choices. To get the very dramatic eyes this look features, start by
taking the Precision pen eye liner and applying it quarter in at lash line to
the outer corner. Next take the black eye shadow and apply it to the lowest
part of your eye lid, taking up about 1/3 of your lids for blend a softening
effect. You will see the slight difference between the two types of eye
shadows.
Next, take your blending brush
and start blending the line of the black eye shadow. This will create the
gradation of hue. Line the under eye lid and blend for softness.
For the next step, you will need Vanilla high density shadow. Take a brush and create a line just below your lower lash line in the corner then over the lid, then from the black blended line up to the brows.

Lashes
Curl your upper eye lashes and
apply mascara to define them.
Cut the lash to fit lid and
apply one set on the top extending out a bit and another on the lower lid
making a slight triangle connection with the top lashes. This will give you a
wider looking eye.
Contour
To make your features appear
stronger, take a dark shade contour your cheeks by applying it right above your
jaw line. Make sure you keep the apples of your cheeks free of any colour
because the main focuses of this look are the eyes and lips.

Lips
If you want a soft version of
this look, you can wear it with a lighter shade of matte lipstick with a hint
of gloss in the center. It gives you a kissable pout look without looking to
sticky.
