It’s fair to say that Jodie Comer can do no wrong, whether it’s on stage, on screen, or on the red carpet. Proving the point yet again, the actor stepped out at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in LA over the weekend, wearing a look that can only be described as a masterclass in the art of the smoky eye.
Focused around a palette of hazy browns–specifically Tom Ford’s Eyeshadow Quad in Mink Mirage, according to Comer’s makeup artist Georgie Eisdell–the mocha-toned mix added subtle drama to Comer’s face without feeling too heavy. To recreate the same effect, use your darkest shade along your lash line to add intensity, then gently smudge it out over lids and brow bones incorporating the lighter colors with a soft blending brush as you go. To add extra definition, the actor’s lashes were coated in YSL’s inky black Faux Cils Mascara to anchor the smokiness.
Comer wore her smoky eye on the red carpet, but happily for the rest of us, the look is the perfect way to segue from the office to after-dark activities. Although it’s resolutely smokey, the lack of sparkle in the shadows means it doesn’t veer into “Christmas party” territory, nor does it feel too full-on for a quick drink after work. To make it work on you as well as it does on her, take Comer’s lead and pair with sparkling skin (hers comes courtesy of Noble Panacea’s Brilliant Glow Hydration Oil) and blush with an almost toffee undertone, to tie all the tones together.
