Who says neutral eye shadows aren’t exciting enough for a night out? This golden halo eye style offers just the right amount of flash for the club or cocktail hour. All it takes is a touch of bronze shadow down the center of your lids for a timeless charm that's sure to turn heads. A few bats of your false eyelashes and you'll be watching the paramours line up to ask if it hurt when you fell from heaven.
Too much shimmery eye shadow can look overdone on its own,i which is why this look frames it with matte brown shadows. A touch of highlighter on your cheeks mirrors the bronze on your lids while adding extra dimension to your contouring. To keep the look feeling balanced and fresh, use neutral shades of lipstick and lip gloss that will still make your pout look oh so sumptuous.

4. Use the same brush to sweep “Conquer” or a matte, light brown shadow on top of the shadow you applied in step 3.
5. Use a small, flat eye shadow brush to tap “Button” or a matte brown shadow to your upper lash line near the outside of your lid. Apply the shadow to your crease near the inside of your lid.

7. Use the same brush to apply “Noir” or a matte black shadow on top of the shadow you applied in step 6.
8. With a flat shadow brush, load “Bronze” or a shimmery gold shadow onto the middle of your lid.
9. Apply false eyelashes. Allow the glue to dry.
10. Apply foundation. For fuller coverage, apply the product across your face with short, sweeping motions.
11. Apply concealer that's a shade lighter than your foundation underneath your eyes in a triangle shape. Put a small amount of concealer on your chin, above your Cupid’s bow, down your nose and between your eyebrows. Blend it in by dabbing it with the tapered end of a damp blending sponge.

16. With a powder brush, blend in the powder from steps 13 and 14 until you achieve a natural glow.
17. Sweep and dab blush onto the apples of your cheeks.
18. Shape and fill in your brows as desired. One option is to shape your brows with a spoolie, then line and fill them in with brow powder.

20. Apply black gel eyeliner to your lower waterline.
