Sadly, my fine-art oeuvre never advanced beyond finger-painting and Etch-a-Sketch. But when it comes to eyeliner, I’ve got skills, and this little jewel from Smashbox is my newest go-to palette ($32; sephora.com). The sleek compact comes with a mirror, a mini-brush, and hues like Midnight Brown, Putty, Caviar, and Thunder, which are ideal for creating a smoldering eye. For a dose of shimmer, sweep Lava or Deep Bronze across your lids (you can mix and match them with other colors or let them stand alone). Or for a sexy, saturated effect, check out Midnight Purple, Midnight Green, or Picasso—a deep inky blue that allows eyeliner aficionados to channel their inner modern masters. —Tara Mattarazzo
