- The first step is to apply a foundation. Use a matte foundation so that your face including your eye area doesn’t look too shiny. Since you are doing shimmery eye makeup, so the focus should be on your eyes.
- Once you are done with applying foundation, take a flat eye shadow brush and apply a light colored shimmery eye shadow over your entire eyelid. This should work as the base shadow.
- Now apply some shimmery bronze eye shadow over that base shadow. You can apply shimmery eye shadows in pink, blue, green, silver etc. But Bronze is best if you aren’t sure which color would suit your complexion.
- Blend some black and deep brown eye shadow and apply it to the outer corner of your eyes for a more dramatic look.
- Complete your sexy eye look with some black liner and mascara.
- When you are doing shimmery eye makeup, keep your lip makeup subtle and let your eyes do the talking.
- And never go overboard while applying shimmer. Less is more.
If you want to create a smokey shimmery look, then apply the base shadow till the centre of the eyelid and start applying the bronze eye shadow from the point where the base shadow has ended.
