Fiery Copper & Bronze: Smokey Eye

Here's a simple (but glam) look of the day from last week :)  I absolutely adore my It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Volume 1 Palette - if you're a matte eye shadow lover, you need this one.  I love the pigmentation pay off and the blend-ability of every shadow in here, it's a staple in my kit.  For this look, I was especially drawn to the warm, fiery sunset tones that I see everyone rocking these days - earthy oranges, rusty browns, coppers, bronzes & golds. Normally I steer away from those tones on myself (I'm not sure why!) but on this day I felt like experimenting. 

I used Soulful and Sunrise in the crease for warmth and definition and Sunset packed all over the upper lid.  I topped the center of my eyelid with Bare Mineral's Loose Pigment/Shadow in 'Sugared Bronze' mixed with some MAC Fix+ to bring out the metallic sheen.  For the lower lash line I used the same combo (I love adding a setting spray to shadows to increase intensity!) I added a black wing liner (using a L'oreal black liquid pen which is, ehh just okay - I'm trying to use it up!) and smudged black in my lower water line too for added depth.  Packing on mascara - Maybelline Lash Sensational (awesome!!) - and adding a little half lash for extra flirty oomph and we're done!
