Step 1: Prime and Prep
Start by prepping your eyelids with an eyeshadow primer to ensure longevity and vibrant colors. Creasing will also be prevented. Blend it evenly using your fingertips.
Step 2: Warm Transition
Apply a warm, burnt orange shade to your crease using a fluffy blending brush. Use windshield-wiper motions for a seamless blend. This transition shade will add depth and warmth to your eye look. For the first five steps, I used only one eye palette by Huda Beauty, which is incredible.
Step 3: Intensify the Outer Corner
Grab a smaller blending brush and dip it into a rich burgundy eyeshadow. Focus this shade on the outer corner of your eye, blending it into the crease. This will add dimension and create a sultry effect.
Step 4: Shimmering Sunset
Now, it’s time to create a breathtaking sunset effect. Take a metallic copper or gold eyeshadow and apply it to the center of your eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush. Gently pat the color onto your lid, gradually building up the intensity.
Step 5: Inner Corner Highlight
Dab a shimmery champagne or gold eyeshadow onto your inner corner to add a touch of radiance. This will instantly brighten your eyes and make them appear more awake and luminous.
Step 6: Define the Lash Line
Apply a dark brown or black eyeshadow along your upper and lower lash line using a smudger brush.
This will define your eyes and create a sultry, smoky effect. Blend it out for a softer look.
Step 7: Lashes and Liner
Apply your favorite lengthening mascara to both your upper and lower lashes. Opt for winged eyeliner using a black liquid or gel liner for added drama. Create a sleek wing that elongates your eyes.
Step 8: Finishing Touches
Complete the look by filling in your brows, applying a natural-looking foundation, and adding a touch of peachy blush and warm nude lipstickto complement the sunset tones.
