Brown smokey eye effect

I'm sure you've heard of doing the regular smokey eye deal with black and grey eyeshadows. Well, I've got a little bit of a twist for you! Instead of doing blacks and greys I chose to do brown. I did my usual neutral look only a tad bit darker!
It's quite a simple process.
What you'll mainly need for this is a blending brush and I got mine from the Girlfriend kit by Bare Minerals. After applying the brown eyeshadow all over the eyelid extend the eyeshadow a little bit further out on the outer corner of your eye. Blend the eyeshadow farther and farther out. Now, don't mistake my instructions here. I don't mean for you to take the eyeshadow all the way across the side of your head lol only a small amount should be blended on the outer corner.
When you do this the look appears faded yet smokey in a way.
Take the outer corner of the eyeshadow and go a little bit underneath your bottom lash line. After doing this obviously there's no need for eyeliner. The brown eyeshadow that you have just applied there will act as the eyeliner.

You're finally finished :) I couldn't get a picture of my eyeshadow today and I understand that the instructions might not be as easy to follow as I thought so if you have any questions just click on the link to my facebook page and shoot me a message :)

I love you guys!!
