Achieve Sultry Makeup in Minutes:
Mezhgan starts with primer and foundation (try me by {Me}zhgan Luminous Me Primer and Foundation duo, $49) to even out Elie's complexion, saying, �she has great cheekbones, but we want to make her eyes stand out more.� Elie typically doesn�t wear much makeup, so Mezhgan shows her how to use black eyeshadow (try Prestige Eye Shadow in Ebony, $3.99) to create a smoky eye that transitions easily from day to night. "The trick is to blend well,� Mezhgan says. Want a more intense smoky eye? Watch this how-to.
