How-To: Stila’s Smoky Eye

Stila cosmetics has released a new “Smoky Eye Pallet” for $38. However the talking quad (yep, it talks!) is SO in demand, it sold out in two weeks! You can preorder the kit from Sephora. But if you don’t want to wait or refuse to pay $38 for an eyeshadow quad that talks then read on…

The Sephora site shows a picture of the quad, and the colors look close enough to what you can pick up at the drugstore or local Target. You can also visit Sephora’s site for a wonderful audio clip on how to apply the smoky eye (this audio clip plays every single time you open the compact?!? I think it might get annoying after several uses, but that’s just me.). It’s a short clip and if anyone’s been wondering how to make a smoky eye, you have no excuses.

To get the Stila smokey eye, but in a more affordable option, Bionic suggests checking out L’Oreal’s Wear Infinite Quads in Ebony, L’Oreal’s HIP Color Duo in Saucy 818 for a brown smoky eye, or the Sonia Kashuk Powder Partners Eye Duo in Cocktail Hour for a softer gray look.
