FOTD and tutorial: Neutral Gold Eyes and Coral Lips

Entering all these eye makeup competitions made me realise something, i.e. I hardly ever do any neutral tutorials, which you girls can actually follow and wear.. Oh well, I guess I'll start now. :)
I love golds and corals, this is a very wearable look, for even everyday, especially in summer. You can also jazz it up a bit for formal events. :) It's very easy!

Final look with flash 
Step 1: Take a shimmery gold colour and pat it on to the center of your lid.



Step 2: Use a bronze/ copper shade on the outer corner and blend it into the gold.



Step 3: On the lower side of the outer corner apply a darker brown shadow and blend.



Step 4: Blend in a taupe colour into the crease.


Step 5: Smudge a black pencil on the outer corner of the lower lid and then use the gold on the lower lid like shown.



Step 6: Smudge some more black onto the outer corners, also line the outer corner of the lower lash line.  Make it look subtle and not harsh.



Step 7: Curl your lashes and add a good amount of mascara, your everyday gold eye makeup is done!

LOL! My blush never shows up on camera!
Anyway, would you wear this look as an everyday look? What do you like pairing with gold and coral in your makeup?
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! I feel so weird doing such a normal look! I'll get over it. Hehe..
