I love cream eyeshadows. Aside from them being extremely blend-able, they are very handy and they don't take up so much space in your cosmetic case for quick makeup changes from day to night. I recently received this cream eyeshadow from Canmake, and the shade is just gorgeous.
Monica wanted an upstyle and she wanted volume at the top of her head. She can go with the volume because her fiance is tall.
My sister Love was a muse of Hindy Tantoco's Culte Femme Event. She was wearing a beautiful white dress so I wanted to keep her makeup fresh as well, even though the event was an evening affair.
I knew that everyone will be wearing black or something dark, and will have dark makeup as well... So, I wanted her to stand out and that she did!

We’ve all seen photos of women with gorgeously smoky eyes, or perhaps a model with eyeliner so dark and deep, she looks perfect and unreal. Unfortunately finished photographs usually involve a little airbrushing and PhotoShop enhancements we can’t have for every snapshot of ourselves.
However with a little practice and the right tools, you can successfully achieve the alluring draw of dramatic eyes. Many women desire the look of dramatic eye makeup, but do not have the skills or the expertise to wear it well. With the tips below you can begin to explore this world of cosmetic intrigue, and hopefully obtain a look you will love.
Don't limit yourself with blacks, greys, and silvers. You can pull off the dramatic eye look with practically any color.
THE TOOLS
If you are going to try out a makeup look darker than you normally wear, there are a few products you will want to make sure you have:
After you have all of these supplies,you can begin to experiment and play around with different dramatic eye makeup looks.
GETTING THE LOOK
1. Start your look by coloring your eyebrows about a shade lighter than your natural hair color. If your eyebrows are exceptionally 
light, then you can take the time to practice adding a shade darker of eyebrow pencil, gel or powder to them perfectly and choosing eye shadow colors that compliment them. Eyebrow shape can make or break your beauty, so make sure 
your eyebrows are symmetrical and shaped with a natural-looking arch. WHAT I USE: Sally Hansen's Facial Hair Bleech. It's very easy to use and doesn't sting! Need to add color to your brows? I use Makeup Forever's Eyebrow Corrector Gel in #0 or #2.
2. Next, apply a light shade of eye shadow starting at your eyelash line and going up to the base of your eyebrow. Your color choice depends upon your complexion and eye color, however, a subtle gold/brown usually works well.
WHAT I USED ON MARGS: DIOR 5 Colour Eye Shadow Palette in Stylish Move.
3. Following application of this light color, use a darker shade in a thin line and place it in the crease of your eye lid. This will help to “open up” your lids and make them look large, expressive, and dramatic. You can also use a medium shade on top of this dark color if you want to blend and add variety. Blend this mid-toned third shadow into your brow bone.
4. BLEND.
5. After you have completed your shadow, it’s time to use eye liner. This is unfortunately where many women go wrong. To prevent this from happening, start out small. It is easier to add product than it is to remove it. If you are a newbie, try using a gel eye liner with an eye liner brush. 
This is easier to control.
Place black eyeliner to your upper lashes first. Using a very thin line, apply from the inner corner outward. When you move on to the bottom lashes, be sure the two lines do not touch, as this will actually shrink your eyes and cause you to look cat-like rather than gorgeously dramatic. Complete your look with a couple of coats of dark mascara, and curl if desired. WHAT I USED: Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner.
Dramatic eye makeup can be emphasized with fun additions like iridescent shadow or a pencil liner containing shimmer. However, usually dramatic eye makeup is commonly known for being black, mauve, browns. Painted, and precise.
The moment I saw Carissa, I already knew the look I wanted for her for her Grad Ball.
I was pretty sure that a lot of people at the ball will be wearing their hair down and makeup with the smokey-eye.
So I did something very fresh for Carissa, and I knew that she can very much pull it off.
So I kept everything bare and made her skin look dewy and fresh!
For the hair, Bea did a Jessica Alba type of hair that is swept back but not totally combed and sprayed into place.
