Carrie Underwood's Bronze Eye Shadow Is the Secret to a Sexy Stare

The best part about makeup is that it highlights and strengthens your natural beauty, and this stunning smoky eye on the gorgeous Carrie Underwood proves that. Last night at the American Country Countdown Awards, Carrie wore a glamorous shadow combination that had a Bambi-like effect. Plus, it made the green tones in her peepers truly pop. If you want the same result at home, these two steps are essential: first, swipe a shimmery, olive-bronze shadow like the darkest shade in Almay's Intense I-Color Bold Nudes Kit For Green Eyes ($8) over the entire lid and below the lower lashline. Then, line your eyes with a creamy chocolate pencil like Urban Decay's 24/7 Eye Pencil in Whiskey ($20). The mossy quality of the shadow will make even brown eyes appear greener, while using brown liner in the waterline makes eyes look much larger. Read on for more celebrity beauty inspiration.
