| Beautiful Bronze |
This is a beautifully glamourous, yet understated look that will work wonderfully for any time of day. Bronze eyeshadow is the dominant color on your pallet, but violet accents will add depth and an intriguing element to this look. Blending carefully is key to a successful application - think of your eyes as precious, gleaming jewels.
The end result will be one of enchanting allure, while maintaining simplicity and ingenuousness. |

|
| 1. |
Use a shadow brush to apply a light bronze to the entire lid. We used a mixture of three colors to get the effect we were looking for -coquette, wedge and sparkley bronze. |
|
|
 |
|
| 2. |
Use a smaller shadow brush to apply a bright violet to the inner corner of the eye. |
|
|
 |
|
| 3. |
With a wedge brush draw a generous line of deep pinky-purple along the upper lash line. Draw all the way to the inner corner to meet up with the light violet added in the previous step. |
|
|
 |
|
| 4. |
Using the same dark purple, draw a line along the lower lash line. Meet up with the light violet on the inner corner - blend. |
|
|
 |
|
| 5. |
As an optional step, apply a light taupe color to the inner eyelash line on the bottom lid. Use a freshly sharped eye liner to do this.
|
| 6. |
Apply a thick coat of black mascara, or if you're going for a little extra glam, grab those pair of false eyelashes you've been saving.
|
|
|
 |
|
| 7. |
Use lip brush to apply a very pale pink lipstick. A matte or slightly shimmering color will work great.
|
|
|
 |
|
| 8. |
Go with a very soft blush to finish the look. We applied a powdered pale pink to the apples of the cheeks and then stroked on a pinkish beige above along the cheekbone towards the ears.

This is yet another look in which your eyes will take center stage -
they are the windows to the soul, after all! Thus, a subtler look, at
least for day, is called for on lips and cheeks. For evening, you could
go with somewhat darker lips for more dramatic impact.
