Hey everyone!

Today I’m doing an eye makeup tutorial with a dazzling gold on the lid center smoked out with brown and blackened green. The look is perfect for an ethnic outfit for a festive event, a pooja or a wedding ceremony. It can be also be worn by brides to bring their eyes into focus with the dazzle of gold.  I had posted this look sometime back and had a few requests for the tutorial -

Step 4 : Apply a true gold pigment with a wet brush on the lid.

You can also use a gold eye shadow but the look will be more subtle, use a damp brush to give a more intense effect.

Step 9 : Finish off with mascara!

I have skipped highlighter as the gold itself is pretty strong, you can see compact powder on the brow bone for a clean look.
