I love this look. It is very flattering for all eye colours, natural and at the same time it give your eyes a sexy smouldering apeal. Here are some step by step photos to help you create this look!
Start off by applying a wash over your entire eyelind. Here is am using Shadow Minerals by Loreal Paris. This eyeshadow is great because you can apply a wash or make the colour more intense if you wish. This colour is very milky but has a yellow glittery tinge to it
The next step is to apply a chocolate brown shadow to the outer corner of your lid in a "<" shape. doesnt matter if its messy or thick. the thicker and darker you make the "<" the more smokey your look will be
No take a soft fluffy brush like this one......
and blend, blend, blend! you can blend it out pat your eye and up into the crease or Hollow of your eye socket like ive done here.
The next step is the repeat the last set with a richer terrocatta chocolate colour just to add more warmth, as you see in this picture.
So now use an angled brush
and apply a very dark chocolate brown eyeshadow to the upper lashline as close as you can get it to your eyelashes, this will be your eyeliner. if you would like the eyeliner to be darker or more intense dip the angled brush into water first it will also last longer this way
Line your lover lashes as well. you can put this on your water line if you like, but if you have sensitive eyes i dont recommend it.
Next using the same fluffy brush blend and blurr out the eyeliner line. by using the same brush you are adding more colour to the lower lashline and smoking it out for a smouldering look :)
apply mascara of your choice and finish the look with powder, blush and lip stick or gloss!
and there you have it!
