Treat your face this summer with a glam metallic eye look that is not only super stylish, but super easy, using the newest eyeshadows.
Step 1
Prime your eyelids so that the shadows are vibrant and don't crease or oil up throughout the day. Try Models Prefer Eye Primer $12.99 from Priceline.

Step 2
Apply a satiny brown shade over the entire lid using a flat shader brush, using patting motions to get the best colour payoff. We're using the Guerlain 'Two Spicy' Duo Eyeshadow $64, from David Jones. Then take a blending brush to soften out the edges.

Step 3
Take the metallic eyeshadow from the Guerlain 'Two Spicy' palette on a firmer flat shader brush and pat it over the top of the brown shadow. The colour should allow for the brown to show through whilst creating a duo chrome metallic effect that looks very eye catching and unique!

Step 4
Take some of the brown shadow and smudge it below the lower eyelash line.
Step 5
Take a metallic eye pencil in a brown shade and carefully run it over the waterline, a great one is the Eye of Horus Bronze Amulet Goddess Pencil, $30 from www.eyeofhorus.com.au. If you have small eyes I suggest swapping the brown eyeliner for a white one like Essence Kajal Eye Pencil in 04 White, which is just $1.75 from Priceline.
Step 6
Now you can take your favourite mascara and give your lashes 2 coats, top and bottom, for a flirty finish to the eyes.
Step 7
To finish of the makeup look, use your favourite pink lip colour that gives a glossy or metallic finish, like the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick in number 5.
Finish off the look with a slick of lipstick
The perfect look for a night of glamour!
