Makeup From the Runway to Reality: Michael Kors

The newest trends in beauty are always found on the runways. Due to the nature of a fashion show, new trends are often exaggerated so that they can be visible to the audience, show up in photography, and compliment the theatricality of the show.

I thought that it would be fun to recreate this smokey eye to be more wearable while maintaining the drama . Here is what I came up with:
