Bronze smokey eyes
This is my first tutorial, and I took a million pictures because I wasn't exactly sure which steps were vital and which weren't. Here we go!


MAC bronzing powder in bronze
NARS torrid
MAC stereo rose skinfinish
UD chopper e/s
MAC mulch e/s
MAC black tied e/s
NARS black mascara
NARS turkish delight l/g
Sephora bronzing brush
Some cheapo blush brush
eyelash curler
MAC CCB in dusk
MAC brushes #228, 213, 224, 242
And ignore the Maybelline liquid liner which somehow found its way into the picture, though I do often use it to finish off a look but didn't this time.

I can't believe I'm actually posting this picture on the internet....


I apply my concealer with MAC brush #242


I blend it all with a sponge


I use my big Sephora bronzing brush and get some MAC bronzing powder


And then blend it all over my face!


I heat my e/l curler up with the blowdryer, and curl my eyelashes now because I don't want the e/l curler messing up my e/s, haha


I get some MAC CCB in Dusk and apply it over the eyelid area, anywhere where I'm going to be applying e/s




I load up my MAC brush #213 with UD chopper


I pack the UD chopper all over my eyelid, avoiding the outer corners


I then pick up some MAC black tied e/s on my 224 brush


and blend it into the outer V


This is how it looks now, unblended:



I wipe my 224 brush off, and load it up with MAC mulch e/s


and I apply the mulch completely over the black tied, and blending it into the Chopper



I blend everything with the 224 brush and also my finger, making sure there are no visible "seams" between the 3 different e/s


I line my lower lashline with Mulch, using brush #228


I should look like this now:


I take my MAC brush #316 (which is actually technically a lip brush) and dip it in water, and load it up with MAC black tied e/s. I use this to line the top and bottom


and I blend it on the bottom with a q-tip


I then apply about 53462356 coats of NARS mascara, but I lost the picture for this step, whoops.

I load up my blush brush with NARS torrid and apply it in the hollows of my cheeks


And then apply stereo rose skinfinish onto the apples


I blend it all together with my hand, and then it should look like this:

This process both contours and highlights the cheekbones at the same time.

I apply NARS turkish delight l/g (somewhere between here I did my hair, haha)


AND I'M FINALLY DONE!
