Smoky Eyes are still the hottest thing, and when paired with the perfect nude lips, you'll rock this season.  Judging by the number of smoky eye palettes now out there, this is one trend that will be going well into the winter season.  Here is our top picks for the ultimate smoky eyes collections.

Black:

The color everyone thinks of when you say smoky, there are some great choices our there.  We loved

Chanel  Les 4 Ombres De Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow ($56.00) in Smokey Eyes.

Charcoal grey, shimmering white, pale grey and deep black-you have everything you need in this gorgeous palette, which can give you black or grey smoked eyes-and the color lasts all day.

NARS Black Eye Kit ($60.00).  This ingenious little kit, has it all-NARS eyeliner pencil in Black Moon, Mascar
a in Black Orchid, Duo Eyeshadow in Pandora (white and black), and even include an eye makeup remover.  Your one stop shop, for perfect blacked out look.

Blue:

Another new color to be considered for night, is that perfect deep blue, great for those with lighter eye colors.  Our favs were 

Stila's Smoky Eyes Palette ($40.00) in The Sapphires.
For those of you who aren't quite sure how to perfect this look this talking palette actually talks you through the application process, step by step.  Just press the button and it tells you all-the brushes to use, the colors and products that would work best, all under one minute.

Another great palette for the beginner is Two Faced Smoky Eye Palette ($32.00). It comes in various shades and includes 3 easy to follow, step by step instructions, that allows you to go from day to night with this look.

Grey:

The hottest, chic color this season are the greys and browns.  For greys, our favorite was 

Armani Python Palette ($100.00).
The ultimate in smoky grey, the grey taupe, dark iridescent gray and grey pearl have all you need to go from day to night.  This palette also include 2 ArmaniSilk lip shades (deep red and mauve), so you can transition from day to night.

Brown:

Dior Impression Cuir Leather Couture ($55.00).
This trio of pearly, chocolate hued eyeshadows, are silky, feather soft and easy to blend.  Best of all they are imprinted with a chic croc pattern, reflective of the hottest textures seen on the runways.

Purple:

Smashbox Eyeshadow Trio ($28.00) in Panorama.
This trio of a smoky purple, eggplant and pearly white has all you need to blend, highlight and contour your way to the perfect purple smoke!

For the woman on the go:

If you don't have time to blend, contour and perfect your look, try Urban Decay's Smokeout Eye Pencils ($14.00) (in green, blue, purple, black).  These pencil are filled with a long lasting powdery matte formula, basically eyeshadow in a pencil.  It can be easily blended with the attached blender tip to give you the easiest smoky eyes you've ever tried!
