Even though fall is probably over, warm browns and reds are still in this winter to warm up the cold temperatures. Here’s how you create a nice and simple smokey eye that has transitions of all these warm colors.
What you need:
-Eyeshadow primer
-A dark brown eyeshadow
-A Copper red eyeshadow
-A creme colored eyeshadow (as a transition)
-Black gel or liquid eyeliner
Note: All eyeshadows being used was from the NYX “Love in Paris” eyeshadow palette
- Apply your eyeshadow primer all over your eyelid and under your eye. I’m using the Milani eyeshadow primer
- Take your creme colored eyeshadow and apply it all over the eyelid, inner corner, and up to the browbone
- Taking the deep brown color, roughly apply it all over the eyelid and under the eye.
- Take the copper red eyeshadow and apply it right on top of the crease.
- Take a lighter gold color and lightly apply it on top of the copper red color
- Take any blending brush (I’m using the ELF blending brush and a blending brush from aliexpress.com) and start to blend the colors together. Make sure you do it neatly otherwise it will look muddy
- Use your black gel liner or liquid eyeliner and apply it on the lower lash line lightly and create a nice wing on the upper eyelid. Make sure you tightline your upper waterline so your eyes look more intense
- Curl your eyelashes and apply your choice of mascara on both the upper and lower lashes
- Optional: You can use fake eyelashes to make your eyes look larger.
