Tutorial Time: Golden Eye

Tutorial Time: Golden Eye

It's not often I do tutorials.

Frankly, I am not the ideal candidate for being a makeup model. 

The reasons?

My skin is pretty horrible for the most part (dry with hormonal acne- FUN) and my eyes water at a pretty epic level- meaning just putting on my makeup is like a 20 minute adventure.

BUT I LOVE YOU GUYS A LOT.

So here you go.

Start off with a gold pencil, base, or whatever you like. I'm using this coppery tone because it makes my blue eyes look SICK.

 Make sure you do the bottom too. Blend a little with your finger.

 Layer a gold eyeshadow over the top. I stuck with the more yellow-ish golds. CAUSE I FELT LIKE IT.

Also, Half baked from Urban Decay is like, the only gold I have for some reason.

Take a matte nude-ish brown and run it through the crease. You could even use a little matte bronzer- it works great.

Next, dab a slightly darker bronze or gold in the outer corners. It adds dimension- ALLEGEDLY.

 Then I ran the same bronzey color into the outer crease and under my eye.

So following my eyeliner technique I outlined in my post all about eyeliner- I used a gel-based pencil and then smudged it around with a stiff angled brush.

Not pictured- I ran a soft vanilla color under my brows and in the inner corner of my eyes. 

MY CAMERA HAD A BRAIN FART- SORRY.

Follow up with mascara to finish the look.

OR DON'T, I AIN'T YOUR MOM.

Hope you enjoyed this simple look. Very fun, much wow.
