Copper Smokey Eye

 

This eye is a little complicated and time consuming, it takes about 10-15 minutes to do and involves a lot of layering, however, the end result is worth it.   

 

1.) Prime the eye, I used Urban Decay's Primer Potion

2.) Using a flat eyeshadow brush, put Handwritten by M.A.C. all over the eyelid up to the crease (stopping just before the inner corners).

3.) Next, using the same flat eyeshadow brush (make sure you wipe it off) put Blonde Streak by M.A.C. in the inner corners of eyes and on the brow bone (be careful because this eyeshadow has a lot of fall out due to the sparkles in it).

 4.) Using the flat eyeshadow brush, cover the eyelid with Darkhorse in the Naked Palette by Urban Decay, I softened it up in the inner corners so that it would blend a little bit better.

5.) With the flat eyeshadow brush apply Copper Craze by Maybelline over the eyelid, like before with Darkhorse, I softened it at the inner corners and blended it in with my fingers.

 6.) With a crease brush, apply Carbon by M.A.C. to the outer corners only, then blend inward with a blending brush.

7.) Using a blending brush, apply Buck in the Naked Palette by Urban Decay right above the crease to blend the colors together. After blending the eyeshadow out, I went back over the inner corners of my eye with the Blonde Streak to make it more bold. Apply eyeliner and mascara and you are done.
