Can we all just take a minute please to appreciate the stunning princess that is Jennifer Lawrence? The dress, the hair, the makeup - and most importantly the smokey eye.
Is this not the most perfect smokey eye on the most perfect looking girl? I may be slightly in awe of Jennnifer Lawrence, slightly, but I think we can all take inspiration from her makeup at the premiere of mother! at the Venice film festival. She wore a showstopper smokey eye with her showstopper black, sheer, tulle ballgown.

What's so special about this look? It's a combination of things. Her dress is one of those dresses every girly girl would just love to have an occasion to wear it to. And the makeup, well the makeup is bringing back the original smokey eye which every makeup girl can't help but love. There is a skill to creating a smokey eye this dark and sooty. It can go two ways; either you end up looking like a hungover panda or you pull off the sexiest smokey eye possible.
