Are you looking for a holiday party eye makeup that is anything but black smokey eye? Then you are at the right place! From defined eyebrows, prepping your eyelids, to colorful eye makeup and a swipe or two of mascara, the dramatic eye makeup can really make us stop and stare. With our quick and simple DIY steps, try this gilded eye look that’s totally party approved.
1. Defined Eyebrows:
You can love it or hate it, but you can’t ignore that groomed eyebrows are having a major beauty moment this season. That means you have to tweeze them, brush them, tame them (use Wet n Wild Color Icon Brow Shaper in A Clear Conscience) and fill them with powder shadow, like Urban Decay Brow Box, for a natural look. Instead of powder shadow, you can opt for a black eyebrow pencil, like Maybelline New York Eye Studio Master Drama Cream Pencil. Set your brows with clear brow mascara – try CoverGirl Professional Natural Lash Mascara.
2. Prep Your Lids:
Do you want your eyeshadow to stay on all day and keep your eyes looking smooth? Or do you want your eyes to look less tired Well, in that case, you need to get yourself a marvellous primer, which pretty much does all of this and some more. So coat your lids with ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Primer. Yes, ladies; applying a primer works wonders!
3. Hide Imperfections:
How can we survive without our concealers? Be it covering your imperfections like puffiness and dark circles, or for that smooth and clean finish, ensure you use an illuminating concealer after you have applied your primer/foundation. We recommend the creamy and long-lasting Make Up For Ever 5 Camouflage Cream Palette, a great cover-up with five different shades that leaves your skin youthful and blemish-free.
4. Green And Gold:
After concealing, take your brush; for this we prefer Make Up For Ever brow brush. Apply gold eyeshadow, like Obsessive Compulsive Loose Colour Concentrates in Auric, from the lash line to the crease and in the inner corner of your eye. Next, take Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Sable, and apply it on the middle of your lid. Once done, blend the color towards the outer corner of the eye. Follow this by lining your lower rims with a dark green eye pencil. We recommend NYX Cosmetics’ Slim Eye Pencil in Green Glitter that has a bit gold shimmer or Make Up For Ever #19L which is muted and dark green in color. Finish it off by lining your upper rims with Butter London shadow in Jaded Jack – this eye pencil doesn’t smudge and has better staying power.
5. Curl Your Lashes:
To lift, elongate your lashes, give them an upward arc and add that extra oomph –pick Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler and curl your lashes. Designed to fit any arc of the eyes, Shu Uemura’s curler is easy to clean and can grasp even the shortest of the lashes. Probably one of the most essential and impressive makeup tools for any woman, this multi award-winning curler works miracles for brighter eyes.
6. Wiggle-Wiggle:
Finally, finish off the look by pumping three coats of Maybelline’s brand-new The Colossal Chaotic Lash Mascara to the top and bottom lashes. Not only will this give you a super-dramatic fringe, but will also complement your eyeshadow and liner. We also love how this specially formulated mascara remains pliable without any clumps and chunks.
