1. Apply a body gloss
Let’s start with a lovely body gloss that will give you a beautiful bronze-tanned glow to your skin. It also washes off easily! Simply apply it with a large brush all-around your shoulder, neck, and collarbone area.
2. Apply primer
Apply primer to the oily areas of your face. I applied on the center of my nose, forehead, and chin.
3. Apply foundation
Now, apply your favorite foundation. Remember that it needs to match the bronzy tan color you applied to your shoulder area.
Also, The foundation I’m using also has a concealer mixed in with it, giving me the perfect coverage.
Dab a little throughout your face and blend it with a damp beauty blender.
4. Fill in your eyebrows
Using an eyebrow pen, fill in your brows using soft flicks.
Then, set them in place with a brow setter.
5. Apply eyeshadow
I’m using a lovely glam eyeshadow palette with nudes, browns, and bronzy hues. First, I’m going in with a matte taupe color. With a crease brush, apply this shade right in your crease.
Next, take a light taupe eyeshadow and apply it over the seam of the first eyeshadow, just on the eyebrow bone.
With medium brown eyeshadow, apply it to the outer third of your eyelids. Use a small blending brush for this step. Also, blend the color a little into the crease.
Take a second layer of the same color and run it to the corner of the eyes, following the crease line.
Now, apply a deep shimmery brown color on the outer third of your eye, right over the previous color.
Dab a pinky peach, champagne eyeshadow onto the inner third of the eyelid, as shown. It’s extremely shiny and looks so glam!
Then, take a damp detailer brush and add the same color to the inner corners of your eyes.
Reapply the dark color just on the center of the lid to ensure a lovely gradient blend.
Working on the lower eyelid, take a light color (the first color we started with) and apply it to your lower lash line.
Line your lash line with this deep brown matte color. Use a tiny brush to get in between your lashes.
Using your finger, place this cheerful pink/brown shimmery color to the center of your lid. It has a lovely rosy hue that blends so well in this bronze eye makeup look.
6. Apply gel liner
Go over the waterline using a dark brown gel liner.
Also, blink on the brush to line the eye on top.
Next, smudge it across the top lash line without a wing.
7. Apply mascara and lashes
Apply your favorite mascara. Make sure your mascara is bold as you really want your eyelashes to be dark and enhanced.
Next, glue your fake lashes.
Top everything off with another layer of mascara, and don’t forget the lower lashes!
8. Apply concealer
Now that your eyes are done, go ahead and add your favorite concealer to your under-eye area.
9. Apply highlighter and bronzer
Now, go ahead and dab some highlighter to your cheekbones.
Also, place some highlighter right under your eyebrows.
Next, add a bronzer to your hairline, cheeks, and jawline. This bronzer is rather shimmery, so I’m using it as a blush too.
Add a little contour powder to the sides of your nose.
10. Add the crystals
Now for the glam part. I’m using some sparkly Swarovski crystals to add to the corners of my eye. Using lash glue, place a little blob on the areas you want to stick the crystals.
Tip: If you want something more dramatic, you can add more crystals. I wanted a visible yet fairly subtle look, but the choice is yours!
Next, add the crystals. I’m using a crystal tool that picks them up so easily and fuss-free.
11. Add lip color
Start by lining your lips and then topping it off with a color of choice. I've gone for a nude, as the eye look is very dramatic.
Also, you can opt for a little lipgloss for a shiny feel!
