There are some celebrities who like to play it safe with makeup… and then there’s Joan Smalls. The supermodel is known to experiment with her lip colours and eye liner, but she really knocked it out of the park at the 2015 CFDA Awards.

Dressed in a chic white jumpsuit and a slicked back ponytail, the model ensured that all the attention was on her smoky eyes. And mind you, this was no ordinary smoky eye! Her theatrical, blown-out, denim blue eye was the perfect mix of drama and edginess. Her bold eyes were offset with nude lips and gleaming skin.

To copy her look, opt for an eyeshadow palette like Estee Lauder’s Pure Colour in ‘Arctic Zinc’. Featuring three gorgeous, shimmery shades, this palette is ideal for her intense indigo eye. Press each of the shades into the lids, taking care not to go beyond the crease. Take the look a step further with navy mascara. Finish it all off with a swipe of nude lipstick.
