Step 2: Eyes

Step 2: Eyes

Starting with the matte terracotta shade in the Bouquet Ambré Les 4 Ombres Eyeshadow Palette, buff the colour onto the outer edge of the lid with a fluffy brush, focussing on the last quarter of the lid and socket. Gradually bring the colour across the entire socket to create a smoked-out look. With what is left on the brush, sweep up into the temples.

Step 3: Deepen

Step 3: Deepen

Using the brown shade flecked with gold in the eyeshadow palette, blend into the eye socket. With a small, flat brush, sweep a tiny bit of the terracotta colour over the lower lash line to define the eyes. To create an even richer colour on the eye, take a bit of colour from the bullet of Rouge Allure Velvet Extrême in 136 Éclosion onto a soft full brush, then blend over the lid, concentrating on the socket. Using the same small, flat brush, apply the lipstick colour along the lower lashes.

Step 4: Enhance

Step 4: Enhance

Dip a flat brush into water and then onto the rose gold shadow shade in the eyeshadow palette to create a molten texture. Start by applying the colour onto the centre of the lid. If you have lots of lid space, leave the colour in the centre of the eyelid. If you don't, take the colour over the entire lid and soften the edges with a dry brush. Add a bit of the same creamy metallic colour in the centre of the lower lid.

Step 5: Line

Step 5: Line

To elongate the eye and make lashes look thicker, draw the Boy de CHANEL 3-in-1 Eye Pencil* in black onto the last third outer corner of the upper lid. Keep this line thin and soften with a small brush to get rid of any hard lines.
