Brown Smokey Eye Tutorial

Primer

Eyeshadow
- Using your blending brush, sweep the Naked color, or your light neutral color over your entire eyelid. Take it up into the brow area, and add the most color to the crease.. Use circular strokes to create a beautiful palette for your brown smokey eye look.
- Fill the same brush with the eyeshadow color Buck, a lovely warm matte brown. Use windshield wiper strokes to apply to the crease of your eyelid. Create the deepest color at the outside edges, giving your eyes a bit of dramatic flare.
- Dip your large shading brush into the eyeshadow color half baked, which is a golden shimmer color. Blend into the inner corners of the eye, almost halfway to the center of your lid, giving your eyes a brighter, wide open appearance.
- Fill your tapered brush with a very dark brown eyeshadow color, and blend into the outer corner, creating depth and definition.
- Using the same brush, apply the light creamy color, virgin, to the area just beneath your brow, to create a beautiful highlight. You will glow like an angel.
Eyeliner
- Create a beautiful winged eyeliner with your black liquid eyeliner. or you can use a pencil topped with your darkest eye shadow color.
- Line the lower lash line with Buck. To create even more definition and smokiness to your brown smokey eye, add your darker brown shadow on top of it to really smoke it up!
Eyelashes
