Valentines day inspired eye

 
Given that it's Valentines Day in a few days, I decided to do an eye inspired by it.  I combined champagne colors, light pinks, dark pinks, and whites to create this eye.  It's pretty easy to do and doesn't take much time either.
 
Step 1: Using a flat eye shadow brush, apply MAC Crystal Avalanche in the inner corners and brow bone. 
Step 2: Using the same flat eye shadow brush, apply Urban Decay’s Naked Palette in Sin up until about 3/4 ‘s way of the eye, stopping slightly before reaching the inner corner of the eye.
Step 3: Apply Urban Decay’s Naked Palette in Toasted from the outer corner of the eye until mid-eyelid, using the flat eye shadow brush.
Step 4: Using an eye shadow contour brush, apply MAC’s Cranberry eye shadow in the crease of the eye.
Step 5: Using the same rounded eye shadow crease brush, apply Urban Decay Naked Palette in Hustle in the outer corner of the eye.
Step 6: Using a flat eye shadow brush, put MAC’s blonde streak eye shadow in the lower inner corner of the eye.
Step 7: Blend everything out using a blending brush.  I like to use MAC’s 217 brush.
Step 8: Apply eyeliner and mascara.
