Zoë Kravitz Proves There’s More Than One Way to Wear a Smoky Eye

The standard three-color, shaded-in-the-crease smoky eye is makeup 101, and to be quite honest, we’re bored of it. But last night at the Los Angeles premiere of Divergent, Zoë Kravitz proved that there’s plenty more you can do with an eyeshadow palette besides following the diagram on the package. Here’s how Chanel Celebrity Makeup Artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua created the actress’ edgy look.

Get the look with these picks:

    Eye Shadow

    “To create some drama and accentuate Zoë’s beautiful almond eyes, I first mixed the lightest shade of the Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow in Variation with rose water, and using an angled fluffy brush, I painted a shimmery highlight sweeping the color across the upper lid and around the inner eye,” Bua explains.

    Eye Liner

    “I then used the charcoal shade in the Quad below the eyes, extending the color outward to meet the highlight. Finishing the eye look, I swept Chanel Automatic Liquid Eyeliner in Noir on the top lash line.”

    Eyebrow Pencil

    “I defined her brow with Chanel Sculpting Eyebrow Pencil in Noir Cendre to give a stronger, edgier frame.”

    Foundation

    Using Chanel Perfection Lumière Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Sunscreen Makeup and Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour SPF 15 in No. 50, I accentuated her cheekbones by contouring and highlighting. The trick is to use several shades to create dark and light and to do lots of blending, leaving the skin looking ‘free of makeup’ and even. On Zoe, I kept her freckles showing as this keeps her face soft, tonal and natural.

    Blush

    “I used Chanel Powder Blush in Frivole, a satin-like peachy-pink tone, on the apples of the cheeks and above to create a glow to her face, bringing out the high cheekbones.”
