Gold and Pink Eyeshadow Tutorial!

So I found this lovely tutorial here and thought it was SO pretty, but it was all in a foreign language and felt maybe it would be cool if someone did it in English. Which leads us to this post!

1) Start off with eyeshadow primer, so it stays in place all day! :) Next you're going to take a golden shade such as Glamour by GOSH

2) Cover the rest of the eyelid with a pinky-white shadow, such as Virgin by Urban Decay.


3) Blend in, from your outter corner of the eyelid, a dark pink. Start darker on the inside and lightly blend towards the centre. A good colour for this is All Lid Up by Hard Candy. The key for this step is lots and lots of blending!


4) Bend the crease with a darker brown shadow like Smog by Urban Decay


5) Use the same shadow as the previous step to line the bottom lashes.


6) Add a shimmery white such as Ice White Base by The Body Shop to the tear duct corner for an eye-opening effect.


7) Line the upper lash with a dark shadow and a thin edged brush. Any black is good for this.


8) You don't have to, but I always wear mascara so I finished with applying 3 to 4 coats on my top and bottom lashes! :)


Thanks for reading my blog, here's the finished look! :)
