1)      Start off by priming both of your eyes with an eye primer or cream shadow. Make sure to prime the eyelid all the way up to the brow. Since I don’t own a primer, I used a white cream shadow. I found it really made the colors pop.

2)      Taking the brownish-gold color, using a flat-shader brush, lightly pat the shadow onto your lid.

3)      Next, take the yellow-gold color. I used the yellow-gold from my Color Me Glow Palette that I got at Walgreens for $.99. I did a haul a while back on it. Take this color on your flat-shader brush and apply it on the lid over the brown-gold color, focusing on the inner 2/3 of the eye lid.

4)      Using your Dark or Navy Blue, use the domes-crease brush to start applying color to your outer crease. Build it up as you go. For the blue, I used Skeletrina by Tokidoki. I got mine for $15 at Sephora. You can get it here: http://www.sephora.com/product/productDetail.jsp?skuId=1217462&productId=P257114&_requestid=141202#!keyword=skeletrina

5)      Finally, apply a highlight color below the brow bone. I used a shimmery white. Next, line your lower lashes with the navy and gold. Taking the navy blue, I line my outer half lower lashes, and with the yellow-gold shadow I lined my inner half lower lashes.

6)      Lastly, apply mascara. Any color could work. I think black would darken the look. You could also you gold, too for extra shimmer. I used navy blue mascara. It gave the look something different than if I would’ve used black.

Optional: Use an eye liner to darken the look or add some shimmer.  You can use just about any color you want. I didn’t use eye liner, but I think a black, gold, or navy liner would look really well.

To Complete the Look:

1)      Use a light pink, natural, or nude lip stick or lip gloss. I think it would be better to use a natural lip instead of a bold one, because a bold lip will draw away attention from the eyes. I think something with a gold undertone would look really nice. I used a lip gloss to complete my look. It’s a Liplicious from Bath and Body Works, in the flavor Sparking Plum. This color is basically a reddish-purple plum color and it tastes just like a plum, to me. My only problem with this lip gloss is that I can’t keep it on. I end up eating the lip gloss off my lips before I get out the door.

2)      Use a light blush or bronzer. I find that the blue and gold reminds me of a sailor look. You can use the bronzer to get that tan sailor look, if that’s what you’re going for.
