Dupe this Look: Desperate Housewives Gaby Solis

If I have a favorite Desperate Housewife, it's definitely the spoiled, sassy and sometimes lovable Gaby, played by the beautiful Eva Longoria. What I love even more about her is the way she pulls off the smokey eye and nude lip so nicely! Inspired by Eva, I did a heavily smoked out eye look with highlights of purple and silver to really play up my brown eyes. To achieve this look, I used the lavender/silver portion of MAC's Under Your Spell Mineralize Eyeshadow, Makeup Forever's black shimmery #307, MAC's Parfait Armour eyeshadow in the crease and Blanc Type to highlight my browbone. No smokey eye is complete without MAC's Fluidline eyeliner in Blacktrack. I coated my lashes with Maybelline's Falsies Mascara in Black Drama and for extra drama, I put on the fullest, longest false eyelashes I could find. Keeping true to Eva's smokey/nude look, I went for a subtle nude/peach blush in Rock and Republic's Foreplay and MAC's Sheen Supreme lipstick in Bare Again. Finish the look with Laura Mercier's translucent powder all over. Below is my FOTD homage to Gaby Solis/Eva Longoria.
