Step By Step Summer Smokey Bronze Eye Makeup Tutorial

Summer Smokey Bronze Eye Makeup Tutorial:

My favorite eye makeup look to wear in the summer is a bronzey glowey look which goes along well with the beachy summer sun theme. 

This look can easily be made more natural for daytime or more dramatic for an evening night out:

For a more natural daytime appropriate look I would leave out the darker base color and use a little less eyeliner and mascara.
To amp this look up even more for heading out at night with friends or for a special event I would add a little more eyeliner and mascara as well as a pair of false lashes.

This look I've created here is probably just on the border between the two but I would wear it out during the day since I tend to go for bold eyes and a nude lip all the time.

The bronze tones really compliment my brown eyes as well which makes this look even more fun for me!

               

     To create this look I've used these specific products. You can use whatever you have that is similar it will work just as great.

Mac Studio Sculpt Concealer in the shade NW25 (Used in step 1)

On an entirely different, more time appropriate note, I did consider dedicating a whole post to Tishaa Baav- the 9th of Av- a fast day for Jewish people around the world. One full of inspiration on what the day is really about or tips for fasting easily etc. I just couldn't think of the perfect words. I have linked to some posts here from both the "Fabologist" at fabologie.com for some pre- fast food tips and Aish.com with a beautiful message from Charlie Harary on the background of Tishaa Baav. I couldn't have said it any better! In that light, have an easy meaningful fast and a wonderful Shabbos!

Thanks for stopping in!

Gigi.
