Gold Lids Transition Day to Night




 
This is a simple gold/brown "smokey" eye that isn't too much for during the day (i.e, school, work, or even lunch and shopping) and is perfect for the night as well - especially if you have plans after work and don't have time to go home and re-do your face. I personally hate wasting time when all I want to do is go and relax with friends after a long day. If you use a great primer on your lids, you won't have any trouble keeping this look throughout the day/night. I started out with an eyelid primer from elf cosmetics, then brushed a gold shimmery shadow over my entire lid, then with my finger I rubbed some creamy brown shadow (from the Femme Couture Earthy trio available at Sallys) into the crease and outer eye area. You can add as much as you want, but since this was a work look, I didn't want to go overboard. I added a sparkly white to underneath my eyebrow and in the inner corners. I finished with a black liquid liner from elf, and Maybelline MegaPlush mascara. Again, you can thicken up the eyeliner line as much as you want for a more dramatic look. For work, I kept the lips simple with Maybelline Baby Lips in a clear color.
