Products Needed:

Emerald colored eyeshadow

Black eyeshadow

Black pencil or powder eye liner

Shimmery light gold shadow

Nude peach lipgloss

Nude peach blush

Glam Plan:

Step One: Lightly dust some loose face powder under your eye to catch any shadow which falls. This will keep your undereye from becoming dark with the black shadow. Apply a base of light gold shimmer shadow from lids to brow bone. This will give the rest of the makeup something to hold on to and help it wear longer than applying the color to bare skin. Next, sweep the emerald eyeshadow from the lid up into and slightly above the crease.

Step Two: Use the black eyeshadow on the outer third of the eye’s crease to create smoke and give the eye depth. Be sure to blend this color well into the emerald green. Then take the light gold shimmer shadow and gently apply this to the inner corner of the eye. This will open up the eye area and really make your eye pop.

Step Three: Using the black powder liner or pencil line your eye with black starting just after the gold shadow on the inner corner ends. Then use the liner to line your lower lids, and smudge both the upper and lower lines to blend the line into the shadow.

Step Four: Dust away the loose powder you applied to your undereye area to remove any dark shadow that may have fallen during application.Apply the nude peach blush and gloss, and you’re ready to hit the town!
