Step 3: For definition, dab more brown shadow around the outer edge, then layer the shade along the lower lash line.

Step 4:
Use a Q-tip to press a gold shadow into the inner corners. Finish by completely lining the upper and lower lash lines with black eyeliner.

Step 1: As a primer, blend a taupe cream eye shadow over the entire lid up to the brow bone and below the lower lashes.

Step 2:
Lightly dust a cool brown loose shadow over the lid, concentrating intensity along the brow bone.

Step 3:
Using a Q-tip, dab blue shadow into the inner corner of the eye. Use the other end of the Q-tip to apply the brown pigment along the lower lash line.

Step 4:
Use a fingertip to pat blue eye shadow across the lid in an outward, angled shape, mimicking wings. Finish with a matching cerulean liner to trace hard edges, creating a defined shape.
