I've created this brownish-bronze-army green smokey eye look that would be perfect for a dinner and post-dinner drinks.
Using my little sister as a guinea pig, I started with a base color from lash to lid. Then I with a flat tipped brush I took the brownish sparkly shadow and lightly ran it across the upper lash line with more color deposit on the outer corner. I then used my smoky eye brush from Sephora to "smoke" it upwards to the crease line blending it up and out and deposited the darkest color on the outer section. I kept layering until my desired effect. The tip is to have a light hand and then make it as dark as you are comfortable with or for the right occasion.
Using a smaller tipped brush I lined the lower lash line with the same rule as the top lid. Lighter in the inner corner to Darker in the outer corner. I like eyes to have this gradient of color. I think it looks more natural.
I used a sparkly bronze for her middle lid and tapped it with a flat brush for that brightening effect. For the inner corners I used a sparkly gold color.
Lining the upper lash line with an army green liner and the outer lower lash line with the same liner. I added dimension to the lower lash line by using the same bronze shadow with a tiny brush from the inner corner to the middle of the lash line.
Finishing off by curling her lashes and a few coats of lengthening mascara.
