The bride looking for a sultry, sexy, and mysterious look should opt for the classic smokey eye! Charlize Theron shows how to do this perfectly with all emphasis on her eyes and barely there makeup everywhere else.
Start with a nice even skin tone using either mineral foundation or airbrushed foundation. Apply a skin toned blush right below the apples of your cheeks. You are going for a more natural sculpted look instead of pink and cherry. Try NARS blush in Nico or Sex Appeal. The classic smokey eye is a combination of smokey greys and dusty blacks. Try MAC's Carbon eyeshadow. The key to the smokey eye is to BLEND BLEND BLEND! Use soft strokes to fill in your lid starting at the lash line, and stroke upward towards the crease. Since this is a classic smokey eye, do not extend too drastically past the outer corner of your eye. The look is still clean and crisp! Line eyes using a waterproof gel liner like Bobbi Brown's version. Also line the inner rim of your eye. This might be different then what you are used to but trust me, the black rimmed inner rim will make this look complete!
Finish your look with a dusting of finishing powder and a light peach lipstick to complement the natural blush. Keep both the blush and lipstick in the same color family to complete the monochromatic face; the perfect canvas for the smokey eye!
