Wednesday night at US Weekly’s Hot in Hollywood party, Whitney Port wore a vintage cream-colored lace dress and a tousled faux-bob, the perfect canvas for a dramatic gem-toned eye in garnet, topaz, gold and pearl. The best tip I can give you for pulling off this look is to blend blend blend! I applied the darkest colors (garnet and topaz) on the lids, closest to the lashline, then used a golden sand color to soften any hard lines in the crease. To really make it pop, I added a true gold color in the inner tear duct, opening and separating the eyes. Because the eyes are the headliner, I kept the lip and cheek colors light and airy in soft rosy nudes. I used all NARS Cosmetics.
