Step 1:  Prep your lids

Always start by priming your lids. If you want your makeup to last longer and your eyeshadow not to crease then always start by applying primer on your lids. This step is very important, especially when working with metallic shades. A pea-sized amount will be right for your lids.

Step 2: Apply base color

The base color is always your lightest color. Start by applying the base color onto your lids past your crease by using a fluffy brush.  We always start with light colors when working on a smokey eye look, this gives you to blend into something so that you don’t end up with a muddy metallic look.

Step 3: Smoke it up

Now work a darker shade, which in our case is the bronzed taupe into the crease by using a tapered brush. After you have applied the shadow, take your fluff brush and start blending. Keep blending until you get a nice gradient look.

Step 4: prep your lashes

If you want your mascara to last longer and your lashes to look thicker then always use a lash primer before using mascara.

Step 5: end it with mascara

Finish the look by applying 3-4 coats of mascara and enjoy your metallic smokey eye look!
