Now, this is what had everyone talking as Rae was red carpet ready with this bold smokey eye. Green has been showing up everywhere and I love that Simkin took it to Issa Rae’s lids. She used the Full Spectrum So Saturated 8 Shade Eyeshadow Palette in Zodiac ($13.49, Ulta.com). You can also check out Makeup Geek. They have two beautiful green shades in Venom ($6.00, MakeupGeek.com), which is a moss shade with golden undertones and Envy ($6.00, MakeupGeek.com), which is a deep dark green that reads almost as black. You could use Envy to smoke out the eye if you wanted more of a green look. The great thing about this brand is that you can make your own palettes too. For eyeliner, Simkin glided Full Spectrum Defining Moment Eyeliner in Blackest Black ($7.99, Ulta.com). Right now, I’m obsessed with Urban Decay Perversion Eyeliner in Black ($22.00, Sephora.com), it does on so black and so clean. To give your lashes some extra oomph, try and eyelash primer. A great one is Lancome Cils Booster XL White Mascara – the travel size makes it super affordable ($13.00, Lancome.com). Wait a few minutes then apply your mascara to give your eyes some extra pop. Rae is wearing Cover Girl Exhibitionist Mascara ($7.99, Target.com) in ‘Very Black’, they also make it in a waterproof formula, too.
