Professional Bronze 

 Bronze Smokey inspired by Clary from The Mortal Instruments City of Bones 

Products used: Nyx Gel Liner and Smudger in Dark Brown, Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigment in Improper Copper, Naked Palette colors Naked and Buck, Physician's Formula Eye Boost Liquid Liner, Avon Mega Effects Mascara

1. Draw a reasonably thick line across the lash line with the gel liner. Don't worry about it being neat.

2. On a smudger brush, take Improper Copper and starter from the outer corner blend out the liner. You want it darkest at the lash line and fading as you work upwards.

3. On a fluffy brush, sweep Naked into the crease blending up towards the brow.

4. On a smaller blending brush, sweep Buck right in to the socket, keeping it low.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 on the lower lash line.

6. Draw a very very thin line of black liquid liner right at the lashes.

7. Curl your lashes and add mascara.

Tips: Do one eye at a time because this gel liner sets quickly and you won't be able to smudge it. You want the most color concentration to be at the lash line and it to fade into nearly nothing.

Pomegranate Bronze

Products used: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk; Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigment in Improper Copper; Urban Decay Naked palette; Physician's Formula Eye Boost liquid liner; Cover Girl Flamed Out Mascara; Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Whiz

1. Use Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk as a base all over the lid.

2. Keeping this look very warm, take Buck from the Naked palette on a fluffy brush and blend into the crease.

3. Take Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigment in Improper Copper on a flat brush and pat all over the lid. Turn the brush sideways and blend into the crease. Also run this along the lower lash line.

4. To add some additional depth, take Creep from the Naked palette and place on the outer corner and into the crease, making a V shape. Blend out the edges using the brush with Buck on it. Also run Creep just on the outer corner of the lower lash line.

5. Add your highlight to the brow bone and inner corner. I used Virgin from the Naked Palette.

6. To assist with the blending of those darker colors into the highlight, take a tiny about of Sin from the Naked palette and blend along the edge between the crease color and the highlight.

7. Line your eyes creating a medium sized wing on the other corner.

8. Add your mascara and you're done!.

Lime Green

Products used: Urban Decay Primer Potion, NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk, BCC 180 Color Palette, Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, physician's Formula Eye Boost Liner, Maybelline the Rocket Mascara

1. Prime the eyes and place the Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk all over the lid tapping lightly to blend.

2. Take a lime green shadow and pat it all over the lid, living the inner corner clean.

3. Take Naked 2 from the Naked Basics palette and run it in the crease concentrating out the outside corner.

4. Take a darker green and pat on the outside corner blending in to the lime.

5. Take Faint from the Naked Basics palette and run it in a V on the outer edge, blending in to the crease for more definition.

6. Use a stark white shadow to highlight the brow bone and inner corner. Draw a thin line with a liquid liner across the lash line. Run a nude liner on the water liner.

7. Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara.

Pink Gradient Cat Eye

Products Used: Urban Decay Primer Potion, Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk, Physician's Formula Eye Boost Liquid Liner, Crown Brush black pencil liner, Crown Brush 36 Shimmer Palette, Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, Benefit They're Real mascara

1. Apply primer to the lid. This will prevent creasing and help shadow to last longer.

2. Apply sticky base to help the shimmer shadows stick

3. Using your liquid liner, draw a thin line at your upper lash line. Next, draw a line from your bottom lash line upwards almost to the tail of your brow. Bring the liner back down that line to thicken it slightly. From the tip of your wing, draw across in to your socket line to create a cut crease.

4. Fill in the triangle you've just created with a black pencil liner, then take a black shadow and smudge it out and soften the line in the crease.

5. Take a hot pink shimmery shadow and place it slightly over the black and halfway across the lid.

6. Take a lighter peach shimmery shadow and place it from where you left off with the pink into the inner corner. Grab the brush with the hot pink on it and lightly sweep it back and forth across the line between the peach and pink. If you lose too much peach, grab some more shadow. You're trying to create a faded effect.

7. Take a medium matte brown and run it under the lower lash line. Place a white shimmery shadow in the inner corner.

8. Curl your lashes and apply plenty of mascara or falsies.

5. Take Flipside from the Urban Decay Shadowbox and pat over the lid starting from the outer corner and blending in to the lighter turquoise.

6. Take Busted from the Naked 2 palette and blend on the outer corner and in to the crease.

1. Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk all over the lid as a base.

2. Use any shimmery champagne color on the inner half of your lid. I'm using my Blank Canvas Cosmetics palette but the BH palette or Coastal Scents works just as well.

3. Use a bright purple color on the outer half of your lid and gently blend the two together in the center.

4. Use a mid-tone brown similar to your skin tone in the crease as a transition color. I'm using Naked from the original Naked palette.

5.Use a deep purple on the outer V of your eye and blend along the edges to form a cat eye shape and blend into the crease. Also run this color under your eye. 

6. Line your upper and lower water line with a black eyeliner. I used Zero from Urban Decay.

7. Take a black shadow on a smudger brush. Start at the base of the lashes on the outside corner and press the shadow down gently pulling up. Work your way inward stopping before the inner corner. Softly blend any harsh lines. Do this as well just on the outer corner of the lower lash line.

8. Add 3 coats of your favorite mascara and/or falsies. Highlight the brow bone and inner corner. I used Virgin from the Naked palette.
