I’m a huge fan of piling on loads and LOADS of eyeliner. For me- the blacker the better…and keep it coming! While I have always loved how smokey eyes look, the actual application has me scared silly. I’m definitely not one you would consider “genetically blessed” in the makeup department (my sister got all those genes). Anyway, I think my luck might have just changed.

Enter Emily of my latest blog obession, Cupcakes and Cashmere. (I mean what’s not to love about that name? She’s a girl after my own heart.) Her tutorial on how to get sexy, smokey eyes is by far the easiest I have ever seen. Check it out here and follow suit.

End note- If you are looking for a great, inexpensive mascara, I am secretly obsessed with CoverGirl’s Lash Blast. I swear when I use it, my lashes have never looked bigger, bolder or more beautiful.
