Beauty Boy: Your sexy 'night out' look

When the evening hits and the skirts seem to mysteriously become a few inches shorter, you need to find a perfect eye makeup style that will compliment your outfit flawlessly. Mascara and a little bit of eyeliner along the waterline simply will not do. To really bring on the sex appeal, you are going to need to put away the insecurities and bring out the glamour! Whether it be with glitter, smoky eyes or a dramatic pout, you need something that will make you stand out.

The most classic and sophisticated look that will help make your eyes "pop" is the smoky eye. When done right, it adds a perfect amount of sultry to bring attention to the eyes (where it belongs). To do the simplest smoky eye, start with a black eyeliner and completely line the eyes. Then, taking a "smudger" eye shadow brush and some black eye shadow, go over the eyeliner to soften the edges. The more you smudge out the eyeliner, the more of a smoky look you will achieve. Next, take a lighter eye shadow, such as a grey or pearl, and completely cover the eyelid. Blending is the most important part when it comes to the smoky eye; you want to make sure you have a perfect transition from the light colour into the darker contouring colour. After the blending is done, add mascara or, for a more dramatic look, put on Benefit's new Pin-Up false lashes.

There are many versions of the smoky eye: using different colours, giving it a metallic sheen, adding Lise Watier Eye Glitter Liners and the list goes on. Experiment with a bunch of them and see which one works out best for you. Remember that no matter which one you chose, blending is always key. If you are still feeling uneasy about the smoky eye look, many brands offer palettes that lay out the look as simply as possible. Some of these include Smashbox's Eyelights, Benefit's Smokin' Eyes or Guerlain's new fall collection of quad eye shadows.

After you have sexified the eyes, it's time to complete your look with the lips. Choosing the colour is going to depend on what colour you used for the eyes, but if you went for the classic smoky eye (black, grey, pearl), you have a few options. Sticking with a nude lipstick will show that you like to play it safe, while a deep red will show you are fierce and promiscuous but still have a sense of class. The last choice is just loading up the lip gloss, which shows you are very promiscuous and really don't mind how many times you are going to have to reapply it.

Now that you have a few ideas to create an evening look with the right amount of sex appeal, it's time to work your single girl swag. Have cotton swabs to touch up the eyes, bring a powder compact to keep a matte finish all night long and always, always use a condom.
