Create a gray-brown eye makeup look for evening

After a long week, a night out can be a time to enjoy the company of friends or someone special. Creating a makeup look that fits the evening helps you choose what to wear because makeup and fashion go hand in hand. If your makeup palette contains dozens of colors, it can be tough to pick just three or four to create a look. This tutorial will take the guesswork out of the process.
The gray-brown combination is lovely for evening without being too dark. Five different shadows from the Morphe 25A Copper Spice Artistry Palette are combined here, but each individual color is listed in case you're working with a different palette.

3. Deepen and define the crease area by applying gray-brown matte eye shadow with the fluffy blending brush.
4. Pat blackened bronze satin eye shadow onto the lid with a small eye shadow brush.
5. Draw light to your eyes by applying silvery taupe shimmer eye shadow to the inner corners with the small eye shadow brush.
