You’ve seen a smokey eye before, but not quite like this! We chose a neutral brown palette with a touch of gold shimmer for added glam! From the office to a dinner date, we know that as soon as you give our Golden Smokey Eye Tutorial a whirl you’ll be rocking this sultry look all season long!
Steps:
- Begin by applying chocolate brown pencil eyeliner to the upper lash line, and white pencil eyeliner to the lower waterline.
- Sweep a matte, dark brown eyeshadow lightly across the lower third of the lid.
- Next, apply a matte medium brown eyeshadow across the crease.
- Choose a small angled brush and apply dark brown shadow to the lower lash line.
- Add a hint of champagne shimmery eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye to create a pop.
- Apply a golden shimmer shadow from the inner corner, and blend towards the middle of the upper lid.
- Complete the look by applying mascara and touching up the white pencil eyeliner if needed.

Could you tell me what brushes you used?
Brooke, we used Sigma brushes for this look! You can shop Sigma Beauty products here!
Where can I purchase the brands of eye makeup you used? I love the mix of colors!
Patricia, most of these products can be found online, but stores like Sephora and Ulta will carry NYX, Too Faced Cosmetics, and Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. Great Lash Mascara can be purchased at just about any drugstore!
This is super pretty thanks for sharing! Do you know any tricks for getting a nice smooth line from the inner eye? It seems with eye liner as soon as go past the iris towards the inner corner it gets uneven and smudged. Thanks!
Michelle, we have had great results with Sigma’s Inner Rim Brightener!
I love it. It’s so natural and very feminine! Thank you for posting!
Very pretty natural smokey eye!
Hi 🙂 What eye lashes did you use?
Which Great Lash Mascara is this? Maybelline seems to have a few that go by the name Great Lash. Your lashes look wonderful!
Michelle, try starting your eyeliner from the inside corner and finishing at the outside corner. Hope this helps you xx
Stacia, we used this version of the great last mascara: http://www.maybelline.com/Products/Eye-Makeup/Mascara/great-lash-washable-mascara.aspx

Michelle “Mitchie” Warner…warm hugs…kisses…xxxx
Hi! I would also love to know what pair of false lashes was used. Thank you!
I love the finished results!!! I have blonde hair, fair skin, would these colors work for me? Also, how could you tone it down for a day look?
Susan, our model is fair-skinned as well, so we feel this would look great on a variety of skin tones! You could always choose lighter shades of brown or use less product for a more subdued look!
What lashes did you use?! They are prefect, and I need them! 🙂
Hi Julie! We used the Eylure Lengthening 080 False Eyelashes and Great Lash mascara!
Thank you for answering my question! I definitely would have thought they were mink lashes, they look so great!
Hi what brand is that and colours and type of brush used.
Thank you
Did you put the eyelashes on after you finished the makeup or just before the mascara?
Tasia, you can apply lashes after you are done with your eye shadow, and before your mascara.
Do you have a brand of brushes you love? And what specific ones were used above?
