Whatever happened to the old rule of focusing on one feature on the face and accentuating it only? Most makeup people will tell you that smoky eyes look best with light lips and the other way around. This year though there's a trend I've been seeing that really focuses on a very "Goth" looking face- on the runway it didn't mean that the girl was wearing leather clothes and safety pins but really the makeup was just an accessory that was shown with even very sophisticated clothing.
I love doing those racoon like eyes as there's something about them that look beautiful on girls with light eyes but on darker eyes they tend to close the eyes too much for me. Pairing it with a dark matte mouth? Maybe a little too Elvira but the trick here is to make it wearable by still only accentuating one thing.
My favorite way to do eyes like these is to start with a black or charcoal gel eyeliner on the lid and then patting the desired color onto that. I think it always looks better if you stay away from too much sparkle and keep things a little matte (especially at the brow bone) Then it's very important that you line all around the eye and inside the waterline. I would recommend doing your foundation after you do the eyes and have cleaned up underneath them. Also, keep the blush light and the lips? well it's your call but honestly I think light lips are still my favorite for this look.
