Lulus How-To: Golden Smokey Eyeshadow Tutorial

Published by

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:

  1. Begin by applying chocolate brown pencil eyeliner to the upper lash line, and white pencil eyeliner to the lower waterline.
  2. Sweep a matte, dark brown eyeshadow lightly across the lower third of the lid.
  3. Next, apply a matte medium brown eyeshadow across the crease.
  4. Choose a small angled brush and apply dark brown shadow to the lower lash line.
  5. Add a hint of champagne shimmery eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye to create a pop.
  6. Apply a golden shimmer shadow from the inner corner, and blend towards the middle of the upper lid.
  7. Complete the look by applying mascara and touching up the white pencil eyeliner if needed.

  • Yes, this is so beautiful!! I agree with Ashley, I would also like to know what brand of eyeshadow,eyeliner,and mascara were used to create this look. I stopped wearing make-up years ago but if I could get a look like this, I just might start up again!!

    • Hi Donnita! Products used were: NYX Brown Perfection Eyeliner Pencil, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pencil in Feathered White, Great Lash Mascara and the Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette (Cashmere Bunny, Sexpresso, Silk Teddy, and Honey Pot)!

    • 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!

  • Which Great Lash Mascara is this? Maybelline seems to have a few that go by the name Great Lash. Your lashes look wonderful!
