To shine during the holidays, we revisit the smokey look with touches of golden eye shadow to illuminate the look. If you hesitate between two make-up then why not mix them. So here is a tutorial to make your eyelids shine while keeping a smoky look.
For this festive make-up, create your smoky look with a black pencil, all around the eye, except at the inner corner, then with an eye shadow chosen in the same tone, placed over it with a brush. We "clean" the result, if necessary, with a cotton swab soaked in a drop of foundation.
Then, we take a little gold eye shadow on a moistened eyeliner brush, before applying it in a line just above the black, like a tiara of light that crowns the lashes.

We insist more generously on the inner corner, with a touch of dazzling shine. Finish with several coats of black mascara. On the blush side, we prefer a peach tone if you have fair skin or a pink to refresh a matte complexion, easily pulling on the olive at this time of year.
What we like: Choose the most flattering gold depending on the desired effect:pure when you want a flashy result, bronze for a more subtle highlight, copper with brown reflections to highlight a clear iris.
