Makeup Tips: How to Use Gold Eye Shadow

Posted by August 08, 2011 8:33 pm
Step 1: Start by applying an eye base of primer.
Step 2: Use a creamy gold shadow for more of a pop. Apply the shadow by stippling it right onto the lid with your finger then blend it out using a blending brush.
Step 3: Blend the shadow until you get the desired shade.
Step 4: Next, balance the rest of your face. Wipe underneath your eyes for fallout and apply foundation. Use a peachy or coral color blush on the cheeks.
Step 5: Use a similar tone for the lip (a peach or coral).
Step 6: Always finish with mascara!
