As the star of the comedy series “GCB” and the former hit show “Pushing Daises,” actress Kristin Chenoweth has dazzled audiences on the small screen. At a recent event hosted in Los Angeles, California, the stunning blond made a stellar impression on the red carpet in a sparkling sequined gown that complemented her natural coloring.

While Chenoweth’s ensemble helped her look radiant, the star’s sultry use of black eyeliner to create a flawless version of the smoky-eye gave her an energy all her own.

Women who want to recreate Chenoweth’s makeup look should start by grabbing a mineral primer and applying it over their eyelids to prevent creasing and smearing eyeshadow. Then, with a brown or black waterproof eyeliner, women lend definition to their peepers before adding a vibrant, mineral-based shadow.

In order to achieve that coveted smoky look, it’s important to blend color in along the bottom lashes. By running a finger over eyeliner, women can create a smudged effect that is truly radiant. For a finishing touch, a smudge and flake-proof mascara can be the ideal complement to really make eyes stand out.
