Tutorial: Bronze Smokey Eye Look

As requested by my friend Carla, here is the step by step tutorial on my Bronze Smokey Eye look

For this look I used 3 shadows. Two of them I got from my BH cosmetics 120 color palette. The two colors I used are circled in the picture above. One is a bronze looking color and the other one is brown copperish.

The other stuff that I used: All of this are MAC products: Shroom eye shadow, Painterly Paint Pot, Blacktrack gel liner, Lip glass in C-thru and Matte Lipstick in Honeylove.

First thing you need to do is start with clean eyelids.

Using your fingers (or a brush, if you like) apply a neutral shadow base all over your eyelids, all the way up the your eyebrows. The shadow base can be replaced with Eyeshadow primer.

Using a smaller shadow brush, apply the bronze color on the inner third part of your lids.

Apply the brown shadow all over the rest of your lid, all the way to the crease.

With a clean blending brush, smooth all the harsh edges.

With a crease brush, apply a thinner layer of the bronze color all over the brown shadow, this is what will create that smokey look. Blend any harsh edges again if you need to.

Using a larger brush, apply a highlighter color on your brow bone. I am using Shroom by Mac.

Now to the lower lash line. Using any smudge brush, apply a thin line of the brown color underneath your lashes.

Dip the same brush into the bronze shadow and apply it over the brown.

This is what it will look like so far.

Apply eyeliner as close to your lashes as possible.

Line your lower and upper water line. I am using Mac's blacktrack gel liner and a flat brush.

I didn't apply eyeliner under my lower lashes, instead I applied black eyeshadow with a flat brush, try to do it as close to the lashes as possible.

What it looks like so far.

Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara on. Mascara makes a world of difference, don't you think!?

As for the cheeks,

On my lips I like to go with a very neutral color, I love nude colors! I am using Mac's Matte Lipstick in Honeylove.

And lastly, apply a thin layer of lipgloss. I am using Mac Lipglass in C-Thru.
If you ever wondered about the lip color in most of my pictures, these are the products that I use most of the time.

Final look. Extra tip: Since this is a bronze smokey eye look, I applied extra bronzer on. You might want to do that too if you'd like.

If you would like to know about the other products I am using, let me know.
