Not into all black everything? L’Oreal’s Studio Quad Eyeshadow in Blackened Smokes ($6, Target) is the perfect combination of shimmering black and grey for a fun alternative. The best part about this palette is that it comes fully equipped with how-to steps for creating a foolproof smoky eye.

For a pop of color like Mowry’s, try Maybelline’s Eyestudio Color Tattoo in Edgy Emerald ($6, Drugstore.com). It’s a gel shadow with built-in shimmer which means no more shimmery fallout.
