Look is Snow Angel.
A sheer application of pearly silver is best on fair skin tones, while a denser, more metallic hue flatters darker complexions. Other silvery finishes, such as frosty pink, icy blue, or pale violet, are equally arresting.

What to Use

1. A lash curler. (Curler with soft cushion pads prevent lashes from snagging)

2.Mascara.

3. Elegant Pearl eye shadow.

4. Silver Shimmer.

How to do it -

1: This effect calls for a super-sheer texture that melts right onto your skin, so opt for a loose shimmer or a silky powder shadow.
With a shadow brush, bring the color from the lash line right to the crease. Don't take the color any farther, if you have hooded or mature lids. Ladies with deep-set eyes, however, can bring the color all the way up to the brow bone.

2: Give lashes extra lift with a few pumps of an eyelash curler along the lash line. Or achieve the extra bend with curling mascara.

3: Finally, top with several coats of black mascara, which perfectly balances this bright, icy look.

The expression of "smoky eye" typically describes a palette of charcoals and grays, there's no reason not to create this super-glamorous look with other hues.
I love the eye brightening effects of gold, copper, and bronze shades -- all done up in the traditional smokey manner.
These colors have light diffusing properties that cast a golden glow and they're also m0re youthful and modern. Just remember the golden rule of shimmer : Younger, taut lids can handle more shimmer, while mature, wrinkled lids require less.

What to Use

1. Three golden hues for highlighting, contouring, and lining.
2. Mascara.
3. A good Smudge Brush for blending and adding depth.
4. Eyeliner in Bronze.

How to Do It

Step 1: With a shadow brush, lightly tap a highlighter color, such as a pale gold, on the brow bone.

Step 2: Next dab a contour color, bronze shadow, along the crease. Mature lids look better with a matte shadow instead of one with shimmer.

Step 3: Run the darkest color, such as a rich copper, along the upper lash line with a smudge brush, whose dense bristles create the perfect line.

Step 4: Time to blend! Every color should meet and slightly overlap. Use smudge brush to smooth the darkest color over the lid, blending it into the crease color. Dust off the brush again and blend the color from the crease to the brow bone.
