Directions:
1. After applying primer all over the lids and underneath the waterline, Take a shimmery light taupe shadow (A2 from the ELF palette) and apply that all over my lids.
2. Pack on a matte mustard/golden yellow (D2 from Coastal Scents palette) shadow on the inner 1/3 part of the lid.
3. Take a light shimmery lilac shadow (A3 from ELF palette) and pack it on the center of the lid.
4. Take a purple shade (C2 from ELF palette) and apply it on the outer lid. Blend it towards the crease and towards the lilac colour. Don't forget to soften the outer edges.
5. Blend a deep purple shade (G6 from Coastal Scents palette)  on the sockets / crease of your lids and blend it inwards.
6. Use a matte white/cream shadow (A1 from Coastal Scents palette) on your brow bone as highlight.
7. Line the waterline and underneath it with the silver eyeliner. Take the lilac shadow and go over the line underneath the waterline to soften it.
8. Curl the lashes and line your upper lids with a brown pencil eyeliner as close to your lashes as possible. Tightline with the same brown eyeliner.
9. Take a matte brown shadow and go over the liner to soften the look.
10. Tightline 1/2 of your outer lower lashline with a waterproof brown gel or liquid liner.
11. Coat your lashes (I didn't since I wasn't going out anyway) with a waterproof mascara and fill your brows.

This look is great for brown eyed people who has a warm undertone. For dresses, if you're wearing gold, white, or any neutral shades. If you're cool toned, you should change the gold shadow for silver and used a black liner instead of brown.  


Since it's a lot of shimmer and glitter, it's a good idea to apply foundation afterward instead of doing it before. I brushed off any fallout and applied a matte foundation. Make sure you choose one that doesn't contain SPF since it will refract light if you were to take flash photography. I covered up my blemishes and dark circles with my concealer. Instead of applying my pressed powder, I used my mineral face booster to create a matte finish (since the eyes are shimmery, a dewey look will make my face appear greasy). A subtle peach or coral blush is recommended so it doesn't overpower the eyes. I used a bronzer as a blush but you it would be great to contour as well. For my lips, I used a nude pink and blotted it. I patted some of my pressed power to remove any shine.


Enjoy! I'll do a tutorial on my hair next. :D
