Have some fun this fall with your eyes! We've got a great look for day, a hot look for nighttime and one if-you-dare look you might want to try for your Halloween events. Expert makeup artist Victoria Gonzalez of American Hairlines in Bethlehem shows you how to create these looks at home.
Daytime Look
Neutral colors are what you need for achieving the perfect daytime look this season. The shadows that Victoria used in these pictures are all from the Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay ($54). First, Victoria used “strange” all over lid and brow bone. She then put “limit” on the lid and “nooner” in the crease. From the photo you can see approximately where Victoria put this darker shadow. Make sure that your blend these colors in! For the top eyeliner we used “demolition” 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil by Urban Decay ($20), and for the bottom eyeliner she used “ozone” from the same brand. She then took her eyeliner brush and used “factory,” another shade of brown, to blend in the eyeliner on the top and bottom. If you don't have the Naked 3 palette, experiment with the colors you have at hand!

Nighttime Look
A smoky eye is always perfect for a night out on the town, and this season metallic colors are what will really make your eyes pop! For the shadows, Victoria again used the Naked 3 palette ($54) to create this dramatic look. She first used “strange” on the brow bone, and then “mugshot” was put on the eyelid. The color used to create the smoky look is “darkside,” the way she created this effect was by blending the color in the crease and then blending up and out. The metallic color Victoria used for the top and bottom eyeliner is “starlight” Mineral Gems by Beauty Alibi ($13). Finally, she used “They're Real!” Push-Up Liner ($24) for the top eyeliner to create a fine line and then winged out the liner.

Bold Colors Look
For this look, Victoria combined two popular trends this season, bold colorful lines and metallic touches. Fist she used “bootycall” from the Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay ($54) all over the lid. Then from the same palette, she blended “chopper” in the crease. The color she used for the liner is “gonzo” from the Electric palette by Urban Decay ($49), but feel free to experiment with any fun colors you have! Victoria used a liner brush to create a cat eye effect, and if you look closely you will see she used “chopper” underneath the winged out section of the blue liner to make it pop. She finished the look with “cosmic copper” ($13) from Mineral Gems by Beauty Alibi for the bottom liner.
