Bronze & Smoky Tutorial
Please excuse the frizzy hair (damn humidity) and the giant pimple on my chin. Oh well, what can ya do?? Anyway, here is my tutorial for bronze smoked eyes. I like this for when I don’t want all-out black, but still want some drama. I love this look, it reminds me of Nicole Sherzinger, the lead singer of PCD. The blending technique used in this tutorial can be used for any family of colors, although I cannot take credit for it. I originally learned it from Olivebuttercup on specktra and it is one my favorite techniques. I will explain in great depth when we get to it.
You will need:
Eyes:
An eyeshadow base (MAC Stilife)
A beigy-gold shadow (Emani #104 Gold Rush) (you can use a more yellow-gold if you like, but I prefer this shade of gold)
A black eyeshadow (MAC Black Tied)
A deep brown shadow (MAC Mulch)
A bronze shadow (MAC Bronze)
A highlight color (MAC Arena and Shroom)
A brow color (MAC Brun)
Black eyeliner (MUFE Aqua Line in Matte Black)
False lashes (not pictured, some drug store ones)
Lash glue (Duo clear)
Black mascara (Rimmel Volume Lash)
Face:
A face primer (MUFE #4 – Apricot)
A concealer (MAC Studio Finish NW30)
A foundation/base (MUFE Face & Body #6)
A loose powder (MAC Loose Blot in Medium Dark)
A contouring powder (MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Dark)
A blush (MAC Afterdusk)
An all-over bronzer (MAC Golden)
A highlight powder (MAC Belightful)
Lips:
A pinky-cinammon lipliner (MAC Spice)
A sheer gold lip gloss (MAC Elaborate lipglass)
Brushes:
A big soft powder brush (MAC 187)
A blush brush (MAC 116)
An angle blush brush (Sephora)
A large shadow brush (Sephora)
A fluffy blending brush (MAC 187
A precise “pencil” brush (MAC 219)
An angle brush for eyes (MAC 266 and Sephora)
A lash/brow brush (Annabelle)
Start with a clean moisturized face. Groom your brows and apply some lip balm now so your lips will be nice and smooth later. Grab your eye base of choice. I’m using MAC Paint in Stilife. Apply evenly all over the lid. I use my fingers.
Now you will need your gold shadow (Emani #104 Gold Rush) and fluffy shadow brush (MAC 217)
Apply from the inner corner to the middle of your lid (kinda hard to see I know)
