It\u2019s very easy to achieve and gives a very \u201cpro\u201d feel to your look. Here is a peak at the look\u2026\n\n\"Preview\n\nFollow along with my step by step tutorials below!\n\n\"Steps\n
    \n
      \n\t
    1. As always, start with a clean primed lid. Then apply a champagne, gold shadow. I used Soft and Gentle highlight powder by MAC. Use a flat dense brush and press the shadow into the lid rather than swiping your brush. This will help achieve a more pigmented application.<\/li>\n\t
    2. To create a subtle cut crease, apply a dark brown shadow along your crease. I used Hand Written by MAC. Use a small liner\/lip or brow brush\u2014anything small and dense!<\/li>\n\t
    3. Take a blending brush and pick up a little more of the dark brown, soften up your cut crease.<\/li>\n\t
    4. To add a little dimension to the look, and also to help with blending, use a peachy colour to soften up the crease colour into your brown highlight. I used a little bit of Ablaze by MAC. You can also use a pinky hue, anything to soften the brown and add a tiny hint of colour. Pick up the product very sparingly and add more as needed. It\u2019s way easier to add more then take away!<\/li>\n\t
    5. Apply your brow highlight, I used Naked Lunch by MAC.<\/li>\n\t
    6. Take a touch of a matte black shadow on the same small brush as used earlier and deepen up the crease just a bit, blending as you go.<\/li>\n\t
    7. Take a makeup wipe and wrap it around your finger, using the edge of your nail, carve out a clean edge in your shadow. Naturally extending your lower lash line. Then, take a bit of concealer and sharpen up the edge that much more, be sure to get nice and close and soften, so you can\u2019t see any excess product.<\/li>\n\t
    8. Apply your liquid liner using the line you carved out earlier as a guide. Don\u2019t try to create your wing with one motion, use little strokes to achieve that perfect wing.<\/li>\n\t
    9. After applying a white eyeliner to your lower waterline, take a bit of the dark brown shadow you used and soften it along the lower lash line, making it a bit thicker near the center of the lid (right where you iris sits).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n\"Steps\n
        \n\t
      1. Use that same peachy colour that you used to blend out the crease and the brown highlight and buff it just below the dark brown shadow.<\/li>\n\t
      2. Apply false lashes.<\/li>\n\t
      3. Apply mascara on your lower lashes.<\/li>\n\t
      4. The finished result!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\"Finished\n\nHope you guys enjoyed that tutorial and feel free to leave any questions or comments below!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today\u2019s tutorial is going to be a soft golden brown smokey with a super clean cut edge.
