A fun dark one! As I’ve said before, I usually stay away from dark lid colours but when I do try it out I generally quite like the results!

2. Urban Decay Blackheart on the outer third of the lid.
3. Urban Decay Nooner to blend out the crease.
4. Urban Decay Strange on the browbone.

This one doesn’t come across as well in photos as I had hoped. Isn’t it strange how that can happen? I really love orangey-reds on my lids and this was one of the first few looks I ever did that really pushed me into using more and more fiery colours.

Eyes

1. MAC Gleam all over the lid.
2. MAC Coppering on the outer half of the lid and heavily through the crease.
3. MAC Handwritten in the very outer corner.
4. MAC Blanc Type to highlight the brow.

CoverGirl Clump Crusher mascara is on my lashes.

Rest of the Face

• Bronzer: NYC – Fire Island Tan
• Blush: Tarte – Charisma
• Lips: NYX Butter Gloss – Cherry Cheesecake

I had been lamenting how much I seem to fail at makeup looks that involve gold, primarily because I tend to combine them with brown. Kalyn showed me that gold just seems to work way better with black, so I decided to give it a shot the next time I incorporated some gold shadow.

Eyes

1. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold all over the lid with Sleek‘s gold shadow from the Sunset palette layered on top.
2. I used a strip of tape on my outer lid to create the super sharp edge, then swept on Urban Decay‘s Blackout.
3. Makeup Geek Creme Brulee lightly through the crease to blend out the black.
4. MAC Blanc Type to highlight the brow.

I tightlined my upper waterline with the Lord & Berry Black eye pencil and applied Urban Decay‘s Perversion mascara on my lashes.

Rest of the Face

• Foundation: Boots No7 Instant Radiance in Cool Vanilla
• Bronzer: Revlon Photoready in Bronzed & Chic
• Blush: Hourglass – Diffused Heat
• Highlighter: MAC – Whisper of Gilt
• Lips: Revlon Sunset Peach gloss
