Tutorial: Popping Gold

Let's celebrate the NYE with this gold look which is not OTT but more like "peekaboo" when you blink :P

1. After priming lids with an eyeshadow primer, using a tapered eyeshadow blending brush, lightly dust a neutral brown in the inner lids and the outer corners. Leave the centre of the lids empty.

2. Take a shimmery medium gold and pat it on top of the neutral brown, blending the edges away. Again, leave the centre of the lids empty.

3. Take a shimmery/metallic light, yellow gold and pat it right at the centre, blend into the medium gold but not overlapping it.

4. Apply the yellow gold in the tear duct area and the inner part of lower lash line, and line the rest of the lower lashline with the medium gold.

5. Darken and define with a darker matte brown on the outer V area, or the outer corners. Connect to the outer corners of the lower lashline. Highlight browbones.

6. Line the upper lashline, create a wing if you like. I first used a liquid liner for a more precise and sharp line, then went over it with a pencil to intensify and add more colour. Lightly line the roots of the lower lashes to make lashes look fuller. Line the waterline with a shimmery peach or fleshtone soft eyeliner. Curl lashes and brush on mascara.
