Brown Bottom Smokey Eye

Here's a smokey look ala Kim Kardashian with black on the top and brown on the bottom... a fun way to wear shadow!

1 Apply foundation all over and concealer on any blemishes. Leave concealer under the eyes for later to clean up any dark eyeshadow that may fall.
2 With bronzer, sculpt the back of the cheeks, the temples, and hairline to warm up the complexion.
3 Pat an eyeshadow primer all over the lid and press a matte black shadow from lashline to crease. Blend the edges in the crease.
4 Further blend the edges by bringing a warm brown shadow into the crease. Bring this brown eyeshadow down along the lower lashes from outer corner to inner corner as well.
5 Highlight the brow bone with a matte skin toned colour. Remember from my Blending Edges post that this is a great trick to soften harsh edges that you're having a hard time blending out.
6 Line the waterline (inner rim of the eye) with a brown pencil and add lots of mascara to the top and bottom lashes! Feel free to add false lashes to really glam up this look!
7 With a fluffy brush, buff on a light concealer under the eyes to clean up any fallout and really brighten the face. 
8 Lightly dust a translucent powder all over the face to set your makeup for long lasting results.
9 Softly line your lips with a neutral, more brown toned lip liner and apply a nude lipstick and gloss.

This look is fun and easy! Try this technique with lots of different colour combinations!
