Warm shimmer smokey eyes

When it comes to classic makeup looks, one every woman should master is the smokey eye. Equal parts dramatic, elegant, and feminine, it can be the ideal vibe for any more formal, dressy occasion. But the smokey eye isn't always appropriate. The deep colors and cool tones can often look a little bit over the top — particularly if you want to go for a daytime smokey look.

By switching up your tones, though, you can achieve a smokey eye effect without it ever looking too heavy or a "bit much." Choosing lighter and brighter tones means you can add drama without taking your look too far. For a lighter take on a smokey eye, going for warmer tones could be the twist you've been looking for.

1. Begin by filling in your eyebrows using a fine pencil and small strokes for a natural finish. Comb through afterward to disperse the product evenly.

2. Apply a full-coverage foundation around the perimeters of brows to define them, using a small flat brush.

3. Using the same brush, apply a layer of full-coverage concealer across the entire lid to prime your eyes for shadow.

4. Take a warm brown matte eye shadow (we used Adventurous from the Profusion Mixed Metals Gold Palette) on a fluffy brush and define the crease and under the eye.

5. Use a smaller fluffy brush to take an orange matte shadow (we used Rust from the same palette) to further add definition in the crease.

6. Take a deeper, warm brown shade (we used Devious) to deepen up the crease and outer corner even further.

7. Use a shimmery warm gold cream eye shadow across the whole lid and up to the crease.

8. On a small detailer brush, take a shimmery champagne eye shadow (we used Antique from the same Profusion palette), and apply to the inner corner and brow bone. You can use this same eye shadow to highlight the cheekbones and cupid's bow using a fluffier face brush.

9. Line the outer part of the upper and lower lash line using a black gel liner and a smudge brush. Use a small fluffy brush to smudge this liner out for a smokier effect.

10. Further blend out your black liner using your dark brown matte eye shadow on the same small fluffy brush.

11. Apply black mascara to top and bottom lashes.

12. Line lips with a warm nude pencil. Fill in with a similarly toned matte lipstick.
