Easy Bronzed Chocolate Eye Makeup Tutorial

Hi All! 

Are you mad at me for the lack of posts this week? Sorry about that. So many things went wrong during the last few days. Hope this tutorial on my current go-to eye makeup will make up for it. It's easy to do, and the colors go with everything and every occasion, especially Fall.

 1. Apply matte brown eyeshadow only on the crease. Layer it to gradually build the color as desired. If you have a deep socket and a big lid, blend the eyeshadow a little bit down.
2. Apple metallic bronze eyeshadow on lid. Also apply it on your lower lash line. Sort of join then in a C at the outer edge.
3. It should look like that. You can always re-apply both eyeshadows to intensify them. 
4. Take a brown gel liner or pencil and apply on lower lash line starting from outer corner, and bring it inwards but stop somewhere in the middle, not going all the way in. 
5. Use same brown liner on top lash line. Join it in a V with lower liner similar to what I did here. I won't line all the way to inner corner. I will stop at the part where my lash line begins to curve down.  
6. It should look like that. See how it blends with everything because it's brown?
7. Apply black mascara on top and bottom lashes. I could have chosen a better mascara, but they all need to be repurchased.
DONE! =)


Close up pics usually wash out the colors, and they actually look more intense off camera. Lipstick is Revlon Super Lustrous Matte Mauve It Over.
 
Products I used:
  • Matte brown & bronze eyeshadow ~ INGLOT #326 & #37. I absolutely love these two eyeshadows, and ighly recommend them! Both from a 10 Square Palette. Swatched here
  • Brown Gel Liner ~ Maybelline Lasting Drama Brown. Swatched here . You could also use Bourjois Effet Smoky Pencil in Smoked Brown.
  • Mascara ~ Maybelline Colossal Smoky Mascara. 
  • Brushes ~ Sigma E45, Sigma E60, MAC 266 angled liner brush.

If you want it more intense for a more formal occasion, use black eyeshadow & liner instead of brown, and falsies. It's what I did in my a previous LOTD.....
Here, I used Maybelline Color Tattoo Timeless Black and a matte black e/s all over lids, and patted the same Inglot #37 on top. More pics here



Hope you found this tut helpful. Have a good weekend & take care.

Ooh! Something from my wishlist came in the mail today! Wait, I'll quickly show it next post after this.....

I ♥ finding little notes in my Vanity Case, so do drop one. I read all of them & I try my best to reply to each & every one of them [check back in 2-3 days =D] but most times it's physically impossible! Either way, I love to hear from you & really appreciate you taking the time out to share your thoughts <3

Thank you for reading! :)
