10 Steps to The Perfect Fall-Ready Eye Look (for fair-skinned girls)

Autumn is here! The nights are getting colder and leaves are turning golden. What better way to embrace the seasonal shades available than with a shimmery, bronzed, smokey eye? Wearable for the day time, but sultry enough to work with a dark lip in the evenings, here are 10 steps the perfect fall-ready eye look (perfect for fair-skinned girls!).

 

  1. Firstly, when applying your foundation or concealer, swipe some over your eyelid. This will act as a base for your shadow to stick to, making it last all day (or night!)
  2. Start with a shimmery golden shade. Apply this all over the lid, right up to the crease.
  3. Next, take a darker bronze shade and blend it right the way along the crease of your eyelid, from the inner corner right to your outer lid.
  4. Take a fluffy eyeshadow brush and buff in small circles to blend the darker shadow upwards and outwards to soften the edges.
  5. Now take a thinner shadow brush and apply a deep brown/darker bronze shade in a ‘V’ shape to the outer eyelid.
  6. Take that fluffy brush again and blend the darker shade in towards the centre of the lid.
  7. Keep hold of that brush! Use it to pull some of the darkest shadow under the eye and along the lower lash line, for a little definition.
  8. Now take a pale, shimmery shade (pale gold or off-white are perfect) and apply around the inner corner of the eye, dragging a little below and a little above to keep those sparkling eyes wide open!
  9. Take a small amount of foundation or concealer to clean up any stray shadow fall down around the eye.
  10. And finally, curl those eyelashes and apply TONS of mascara to give your eyes depth and definition. You can add false lashes too if you like.

And voila! The gold and bronze shades will suit green and brown eyes, while the smokey brown will make blue eyes pop! Embrace your inner smoulder and give smokey eyes a try!
