PHOTOGRAPHED BY RANDALL SLAVIN
A gaze that commands attention is simultaneously subtle and striking. Makeup artist Jo Baker, whose clients include Emmy Rossum and Shailene Woodley, cleverly blended two eye pencils, one a rich espresso, the other a silvery-brown, to create a soft, smoky look with a refined, cream-sheen finish.

"I love the sheen this eye pencil delivers, it also complements all skintones and eye colors and is a much more subtle option than black. Scribble the pencil directly to the eyelid as you would an eye shadow."

"Select a short bristled brush to define the brows. The stout and sturdy brush hairs are the perfect size for delivering the right amount of pigment to the brow hairs and the skin below."
