Sultry Burgundy-Enhance Green Eyes + Step by Step Smoky Eye!

Reds, bronzes, plums, purples, greens, golds and browns all set off green eyes!


STEP 1: PRIME
Apply an eyeshadow primer from the lashline to the brow (I used Urban Decay Primer Potion).









STEP 2: COLOUR BASE
Apply a red bronze cream product (I used MAC Fluidline in Rich Ground) all over your eyelid with a small synthetic brush.










STEP 3: LID COLOUR
Apply a deep metallic red eyeshadow (I used Glamour Doll Eyes in Lover's Lane) all over your eyelid. Make sure you pat it on top of the cream base using a flat shader brush.









STEP 4: BLENDING
Use a fluffy blending brush and feather the edges of the lid colour.










STEP 5: CREASE COLOUR
Using a tapered blending brush, apply a matte chocolate brown eyeshadow (I used MAC e/s in Handwritten) to the crease of your eye. If you can't find your crease, apply under the socket bone.









STEP 6: TRANSITION COLOUR
Using the fluffy brush again, apply a matte eyeshadow that is a few shades darker than your skintone (I used MAC e/s in Wedge) in the mid-section of your eye. This will blend your dark crease shade with your highlight colour.









STEP 7: HIGHLIGHT
Apply a creamy matte eyeshadow (I used MAC e/s in Brule) under the highest point of the brow using a large, flat brush.









STEP 8: LOWER LASHLINE BASE
Take the same red bronze base you used in the lid and apply a thin line under the lower lashes using an angled brush.









STEP 9: LOWER LASHLINE
Top the colour base with a lighter red bronze eyeshadow (I used MAC e/s in Antiqued) using an angled brush.









STEP 10: WATERLINE
Line your waterline with a white liner (I used Lise Watier's e/l in Blanc)









STEP 11: LIQUID LINER
Apply a liquid liner to the top lashline, winging out slightly (I used L'oreal Lineur Intense Carbon Black)

STEP 12: MASCARA
Apply a lengthening mascara to your top and bottom lashes (I used Rimmel Lycra Lash Extender)

I know this seems like a lot of steps, but once you practice a few times it should only take you a couple
of minutes! :)
