I'm loving the frosty white/silver eye makeup that young Hollywood is rocking lately! This look is especially great for people like me who are always a little weary of color -- it's so easy to cross the line and end-up looking like a clown (a safer alternative is using colored eye pencils)! Though anytime eye makeup is applied under and around the eye one has to be careful to exercise restraint. Chanel once made these wonderful cream eye shadows called Illuminating Eye Cremes (they unfortunately stopped selling them some time ago, but I have a few colors still left). I've never tried the complete frosty look myself, rather I'll apply eyelid base (Kanebo Sensai makes a great one -- I've found this step to be especially important when I'm layering colors and textures) -- then I'll apply a dark color like Silver Dust from Christian Dior ($24.50) and top it off with a white or silver (or both!), creamy eye shadow. I'll usually use a black pencil, but for more of an effect a frosty-colored eye pencil is great. Lastly, you can take your pinky and dab a little bit of frosty cream eye shadow along your lower lash line to tie your winter-appropriate frosty look together!
