Zoe Saldanas smoky liner made her look really sexy and alluring, says celeb makeup artist Sam Fine, who gave us his expert insight into Oscar nights boldest beauties. Smoky liner is very different than a smoky eye. A smoky liner lives close to the lash line, but a smoky eye is where the shadow is blended past the crease and into the brow bone.
"Mo'Nique's message here is about contour, not color," says Fine. "She's wearing a blue gown, but didn't choose to wear blue eye shadow. Tonight was a night she'd look back on forever…she didn't want to wonder if her beauty choices were wearing her! Hence, the softly bleached brow, neutral smoky eye and nude lip. Beautiful!"
"If you're teenage daughter's about to go to the prom, this is how you want to send her out of the house!" says Fine. "Zoe wore a softly groomed brow, dewy foundation and nude lip. There was nothing about her look that screamed ‘makeup.' She's just a natural beauty."
