Smoldering Russet Eye for Fall
This is a very warm eye look that works on pretty much everyone, but can bring out blue, grey and green eyes. If you don’t have blue/grey/green eyes, it’s still a beautiful look for light to dark skin tones. Don’t ever limit yourself too much based on these “color rules” because remember you are more than your eye color!
Step 1: Start with your base color in Taupe. Cover the entire lid. This is going to be the foundation for our colors.
Step 2: Apply your next color of deep plum/brown over the Taupe.
Step 3: Apply your Rose Gold color to the inner portion to the eyelid and blend towards the outer eyelid. Remember the more color you apply to this area and blend, then the brighter the color will be.
Step 4: Apply your pale white or gold color to the inner corner of the upper and lower eye lid as well as highlighting the brow bone area.
Step 5: Apply your black liner to the upper lash line from the outside in. Making sure to keep the line thin and not too bold.
Finally apply your favorite mascara to your upper and lower lashes.

Pale white-gold: (plenty of options!) Coastal Scents Elven Gold hot pot, MAC Vanilla pigment, Urban Decay Vanilla eyeshadow, Shu Uemura IR 811
Black liner: Essence I Heart Rock Gloss Eye Pencil (or any very soft pigmented black liner; Maybelline Master Drama and Lancome Le Stylo Pencil are very good and last better than the Essence one I used)

you can wear 2 ways depending on how dramatic it is and how much lid space you have.
Regular Dramatic
Regular Dramatic
- If you don’t have much lid space, you can go ahead and fade the dark brown all the way up to your brows.
- If you have a lot of lid space, going all the way up to the brows could look extremely dramatic, so if you want to control the drama, just blend up slightly past the hollow of your socket line.
