Kristin's Eyes
"I used the shadows on the right side of the palette (the silvery shades) to create a smoky eye. I started with the cream shade all over my eyelid as a base."

"Then I used the dark gray shade on the outer half of my lid. I blended it into the crease and smudged it out into a subtle wing slightly past my eye toward my temple."

"To complete the smoky eye, I used the charcoal shadow on top of the gray. Again, I smudged it out beyond my eyelid and into the crease of my eye.

"If you're doing a dark smoky eye like this one, it's important to define your eyes with a little liner and help your lashes stand out with mascara, otherwise they can get lost in the shadow. I used Pixi Lash Line Ink, $16, in my lashline, and NP Set Glamorista Mascara, $16, on my lashes."

Kristin's Final Look
"I finished up with a little mauve lip gloss. I didn't want to go with anything too bright since my eyes are pretty dramatic. But even though this is a darker smoky eye, I don't think it's too crazy for the office. It'll transition easily to drinks tonight."

Next up, Rosie's turn ...

"I'm heading to a work event this evening, so I need to look polished. I started with Pixi Flawless Beauty Fluid, $30, and Pixi Wakeup Concealer, $18, to even my skin tone.

"I opted to use the bronzer in the palette to contour my cheeks and give me a little glow without adding too much color to my face."
