#  SL Tutorial: Party Season Smoky Eye  


Nothing says party season make-up like a smoky eye, and this season we're all about metallic silver and gunmetal shades for a rock'n'roll vibe. Want to know how to nail the look? Here, our Features Ed shows you how with our top picks from Illamasqua – watch the video below for her step-by-step guide to getting smouldering, shimmering eyes, subtle contour and a fuller pout in just a few minutes...

###### ***CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ILLAMASQUA***

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Along with our trusty Illamasqua staples, we've been seriously loving the [Reign of Rock Collection](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=11577&awinaffid=69421&clickref=&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.illamasqua.com%2Fthe-reign-of-rock.list) – released to celebrate their ten-year anniversary. The range is all about that cool, rock'n'roll aesthetic Illamasqua does so well, and features innovative new products alongside some of the brand's heroes in limited edition metallic packaging.  
  
Our absolute top picks? [The Jewel Vinyl Glitter Balms](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=11577&awinaffid=69421&clickref=&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.illamasqua.com%2Fillamasqua-jewel-vinyl-various-shades%2F11911667.html) and [Iconic Chrome Cream-To-Powder Shadows](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=11577&awinaffid=69421&clickref=&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.illamasqua.com%2Fillamasqua-iconic-chromes-various-shades%2F11911666.html) really are unrivalled for creating a seriously party-ready (and party-proof) smoky eye – think high-pigment finishes, multi-dimensional colour payoff and long-lasting formulas that won't budge all night (watch the video above to see them in action).
