The smoky eye is like your favourite black T-shirt i.e. flattering, yet comfortable. However, Sonakshi Sinha’s smoked eye is more like that of a party dress!

Created by makeup artist, Nileysh Parmar, this look was a trendy twist on a classic. Rather than just sticking to dark hues, he amped up the eye with metallic colours and glitter. To ensure that the focus stayed on her twinkly lids, he kept the rest of her face simple with strong brows and a hint of blush. A swipe of peach-toned lipstick added the perfect finishing touch.

Although we aren’t sure of what products were actually used on Sonakshi, we do know that Nileysh has credited Melt Cosmetics in his post. In our opinion, the glittery shadows from the brand’s Gun Metal Stack are ideal to get this look.

The makeup artist has also tagged Milani in his image. Thus, it is possible that he also used a few shades from the Everyday Eyes Powder Eyeshadow Collection, specifically the ones in ’03 Smoky Essentials’.

Whilst Sonakshi befittingly wore this look to the semi-finale of Nach Baliye 8, we think this look works well for any type of celebration. What are your thoughts?
