Brown Smoky Eye

I know it is all about the dramatic black smoky eyes this season but I have often been told that a brown smoky eye suits me a lot better and I tend to agree. I have hazel brown eyes so by creating a brown smoky eye effect it really brings out my eyes. I spend a lot of time reading the beauty section in magazines or watching tutorials on YouTube and I have tried them all but when I attended a Rimmel master class a while back I was introduced to a very simple way of creating this look by using all Rimmel products. So for any of you who prefer a brown smoky eye here is how to achieve it:

1. I always start by using a concealer on my eyes as I feel it creates a base for my eye shadow and allows it to stay on without smudging. The concealer I swear by is Rimmel Match Perfection, which retails at around €5.95, it has great coverage and brightens your skin ( also great for dark circles under your eyes). 
2. Next draw a thick line using a brown eyeliner along your upper and lower lash line, Rimmel have a great selection of eyeliners for less than €5, and smudge it all over your eyes. 
3. You now need Rimmel Glam'Eyes Mono Eyeshadow in . Apply it on top of the smudged eyeliner and keep blending upwards until it fades out, I use MAC brushes to apply my eyeshadow.
4. Next you will need Rimmel Glam'Eyes Mono eyeshadow in Fancy Topaz (171) . Apply this in the centre of your eye and blend outwards.
5. If you wish you can draw another thick line with Rimmel brown liquid liner along your upper lash line. Apply mascara, Scandal Eyes mascara is amazing.

Should turn out like this :)
