Gold, Silver and Bronze Metallic Eyes Tutorial

Think your normal brown smoky eye but BETTER. This look is super shiny and eye-catching (ha) and suits any eye colour. Win-win-win, right?

Plus, it's really puuuuuuurty :) It's the kind of eye makeup that will make people ask to have a closer look and looks absolutely stunning every time the light hits your lids.

Taken By Surprise Tutorial: Gold, Silver and Bronze Metallic Eyes

1. Prep those lids for colour by applying an eyeshadow primer on your lids, lower lashline and inner corner. I wouldn't normally put primer along my inner corner on a daily basis, but it really does help the colour we're going to apply there look super bright. I used the Urban Decay Primer Potion in "Original".

2. Using the pad of your ring finger, apply a bronze creme eyeshadow all over the lid. Take care not to go too high above the crease.

3. Taking a metallic bronze eyeshadow, gently pat the colour on top of the creme shadow using a flat shader brush. You want to press the pigment on to the creme shadow, rather than "wipe" it on. We want that pretty colour to stick and sit on top of the creme.

4. With a dark brown colour and a fluffy blending brush, apply a tiny amount to your outer corner and blend into your crease using a gently windscreen wiper motion. Gradually bring the colour out towards your brow bone and smoke it out. Using the same dark brown shade and flat angled eyeshadow brush, line your lower lash line.

5. Taking a matte black eyeshadow (a VERY small amount! A little goes a long way here!), apply to the outer corner and softly blend the shade into the outer third of the lid to create dimension.

6. For a pop of colour, apply a pigmented gold shade wet to the inner third of your lid with a flat shader brush.

7. For bigger and brighter eyes, apply a shimmery champagne gold shade to the inner corners. Bam, instant wide-awake peepers! (Rimmel London Glam Eyes HD "English Oak" Shade 1)

8. To further define your eyes, apply a black eyeliner pencil to your tight line and a nude or white pencil liner to your waterline.

9. With a brown liquid liner, create a very thin line along your top lash line and draw a small flick at the outer corners. The liquid liner should only enhance the thickness of your lashes, not be too obvious.

10. Then just finish off by curling your lashes and applying a volumizing mascara!
