Get Blake Lively's Smoky Eye Look

Usually when I write a post about Blake Lively it's because I'm obsessing over her mermaid-like mane. Well, last night my girl hit up a swanky party for Chanel Fine Jewelry and while her hair looked good (I'm a big fan of casual ponytails paired with going-out clothes) it was her makeup that really caught my attention. She worked this really pretty shimmery smoky eye with soft peachy-pink lips and cheeks.

According to Chanel makeup artist Angela Levin, the look was inspired by the diamond camellia brooch that Blake wore on the red carpet (yeah, that thing is kind of hard to miss). "I wanted her eyes to be dark and sexy, but the rest of her face to be light and fresh," says Levin. Here's everything you need to know to recreate it on yourself (diamond amazingness sadly not included):

Face: I used Chanel Lift Lumiere Fluid Makeup in Beige all over her face and set it with Chanel Poudre Cristalline Translucent Powder. On her cheeks I dusted on Chanel Blush Duo in Tweed Rose.

Eyes: I used the bronze and sand shades from the Chanel Quadra Eye Shadow in Variations and Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Magic Night, a deep plum shade, to add dimension in the crease. I lined the upper and lower lashes with Chanel Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Black Shimmer. I finished the eyes with three coats of Chanel Inimitable Mascara in Noir-Black.

Lips: I created a soft pink lip with Chanel Rouge Allure in Mythic, a perfect nude shade, topped with a bit of Chanel Rouge Allure Laquer in Ming.

Fashion

Fashion is the style and custom prevalent at a given time. In its most common usage however, "fashion" describes the popular clothing style. Many fashions are popular in many cultures at any given time. Important is the idea that the course of design and fashion will change more rapidly than the culture as a whole. Fashion designers create and produce clothing articles.

The terms "fashionable" and "unfashionable" were employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current or even not so current, popular mode of expression. However, more so in the modern era items termed 'not so current' may indeed fit into the term 'Retro.' Retro fashion allows rule shifts, such as 'old is suddenly new,' thus fashionable. The term "fashion" is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for glamour, beauty and style. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal art, through which a culture examines its notions of beauty and goodness. The term "fashion" is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for fads and trends, and materialism.

There exist a number of cities recognized as global fashion centers or fashion capitals. Fashion Weeks are held in these cities where designers exhibit their new clothing collections to audiences. The main five cities are Tokyo, London, Paris, Milan and New York - these five are renowned for their major influence on global fashion and are headquarters to the greatest fashion companies. Other cities, including Los Angeles, Berlin, Rome, Osaka, Toronto, New Delhi, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Dubai, São Paulo, Melbourne, Moscow, Madrid, Singapore, Seoul and Shanghai also hold fashion weeks and are better recognized every year.
