Golden Globe Beauty Trend To Watch: Smoky Eye + Nude Lip

Posted by Christina | Friday January 17, 20147 comments


During the Golden Globes last Sunday, there was one beauty combo we couldn't keep our eyes off of: the smoky eye and nude lip. We saw it interpreted by three ladies, each who pulled it off flawlessly. We love the contrast of the dark, dramatic eye with the subtle feminine lip. A nude lip can scare some people off, but don't freak yet. The trick is finding the perfect shade to match your come hither eyes. Take a look at our three chosen beauty  winners of the night to see how they worked this great combo: 


Emma Roberts definitely looked mature with this subtle lip. She easily proves that acting chops aren't the only thing that run in that family. Oh how I wish to have the Roberts' fams flawless skin. 


Another smoky eye winner that night was Kate Mara, although her change to blonde hair was dramatic, we were focused on those dark smoky eyes that worked well with the new voluminous do. 


Kerry Washington looked beautiful with plump nude lips and darker eyes. Her skin is glowing with soft peachy cheeks, I only wish I'll look this good when I'm pregnant. Never mind, even when I'm not pregnant. 

I happen to think that Kerry Washington did it best, what about you?

I wish I could pull off the nude lip look. I'm just too pale and it ends up making me look dead. These ladies look great though! I always love a smokey eye!

So pretty. I like that they're a more subtle version of a smokey eye too. Fake lashes aside, these would be a great everyday look.

I definitely think Kerry Washington pulled it off best. I'm quite impressed by the 360-degree waterline on everyone. Even with waterproof products I have difficulty wearing this look as it tends to smear and get worn away over the course of a few hours. I have pale colouring too, so this look is hard for me to recreate without looking goth.
