" Smoky eyes don&amp;#039;t always have to hail from the dark side. Makeup artist Lauren Cosenza shows and tells you exactly how to create a lighter looking, yet equally sexy smoky look in four easy steps.  1. Apply a light shimmery shadow over your entire eyelid as the base shade. After you&amp;#039;ve applied your foundation and blush, use flat eyeshadow brush to apply a shimmery whitish-gold powder over your eyelid for a sheer wash of color that gives off a gold cast. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ll want to concentrate the shadow at the inner corner and extend it toward the center of the eyelid,&amp;quot; Cosenza says. Here, Brenna used MAC Cosmetics Pigments in &amp;quot;Vanilla.&amp;quot;  2. Add in some bronze eyeshadow. From the point where the white shimmery shadows stops at the center of your eyelid, apply some shimmery bronze shadow from there out toward the outer corner of your eye using a contouring eyeshadow brush. Brenna used &amp;quot;Museum Bronzed&amp;quot; by MAC. 3. Intensify your eye at the outer corners. For dimension, mix a black shadow (Brenna used MAC Cosmetics Eyeshadow in &amp;quot;Carbon&amp;quot;) and a deep brown shadow shade (like MAC &amp;quot;Brun&amp;quot;), and then apply it to the outer corners of your eyes to add drama to the look.  4. Line your eyes. Give yourself a sexy cat eye to complete the look, using tips from this tutorial. And then top it with mascara.  Boom: a sexy smoky eye that will instantly transform your look from day to night.
