Fall Smokey Eye

This a perfect smokey eye for Fall, and can even take you into the Winter.
I used many different products on my eye. The main one is Loreal HiP Studio Secrets Metallic Shadow duo in Shocked.
I used an eyeshadow brush to spread the gold over my entire lid. Making it a thick coat. Then took a light brown shade and brushed it into my entire crease. Next take the green part of the eyeshadow duo and brushed it in the outer part of my crease as well as the outer part of my lid. I also took the green shade and extended lightly into my entire crease. Next, I took a black kohl pencil and made a V in the outer corner of my eye. Touching my lash line and going out and then going right above the crease. Blending it in. You can even use a dab more of the green shadow to help blend the black color in. Next, took an eyeliner, use gel liner or one of the small eyeliners that are almost like a kohl pencil, and lined my entire eye. After lining my eye, I took a darker green color and a lip liner brush and brushed it on top of the lower liner. This adds more depth. Next, you highlight. So take a light almost white shade. You can use the same brush as previous, making sure the dark color is off, and put the color around your tear duct and your brow bone. Finish off with your mascara and you have an excellent smokey eye!
I contoured with Bronzer on my nose and highlighter on my cheekbones as well for a youthful, healthy effect that sets off the eye.
