Steps

  1. Start with clean, dry eyelids. Apply a thin layer of eyeshadow primer or a dab of concealer and set it with a light powder so the shadow holds.

  2. Sweep a warm matte brown through the crease with a fluffy brush. Use small back and forth motions and build the colour slowly.

  3. Pat a champagne or light gold shade over the whole lid with a flat brush. Keep the colour below the crease line.

  4. Press a deeper gold or bronze shade onto the outer third of the lid. Blend the edge into the crease brown so there is no hard line.

  5. Tap loose shimmer or glitter onto the centre of the lid with your fingertip or a flat brush. Press it on rather than sweeping.

  6. Line the upper lash line with gel or liquid eyeliner. Draw a thin line close to the lashes and flick it slightly up at the outer corner.

  7. Smudge a little brown shadow along the lower lash line to soften the look. Keep it light near the inner corner.

  8. Curl your lashes and apply two coats of mascara, wiggling the wand from root to tip. Let the first coat dry before the second.

  9. Clean up any fallen shimmer under the eye with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover. Finish with a setting spray.

Tips and common mistakes

Keep glitter away from the inner eye and waterline so it does not irritate your eyes.

Build the crease colour in thin layers, since dark brown is hard to soften once it is too heavy.

Use a clean blending brush to soften edges instead of adding more shadow.

Do the eye makeup before foundation so you can wipe away any fallout.

Questions

Can I do this look without a primer?

Yes. A little concealer set with powder works as a base, but the shadow may crease sooner on oily lids.

What if I do not have loose glitter?

A shimmery gold pressed shadow gives a similar soft glow. Press it on with your finger for more shine.

How do I make the look last all day?

Use a primer, set the lid with powder and finish with a setting spray. Avoid touching your eyes during the event.
