**Make sure to prime your eyelids before applying eyeshadow.

1. Shimmery Eyes

This glam look if perfect for any shaadi or formal event.

Start with a gold cream shadow base all over the eyelid and under the waterline. Then, take a dark brown shade and go over your crease, following the line of your crease all the way to the end of your eyelid. Blend in some bronze shadow into the crease to create a softer look. Now, wet an eyeshadow brush and take a very pigmented gold shimmer powder (can be a glitter shadow as well) and pack it onto your eyelid (only under the crease) with the help of the wet brush. Finish off with winged eyeliner and false lashes.

2. Rose Gold Vibes

This beautiful eyeshadow is perfect for any occasion (plus it looks like a sunset!)

Start with a light gold shadow and apply to the eyelid. Using a shimmery rose gold cream shadow, apply the shadow onto the middle of the eyelid. Take a dark brown/bronze shadow and work it from the crease to the outer eyelid, blending it into the other colors. Take a gold highlighter and apply to the very middle of the eyelid. Take the same rose gold cream shadow and apply under the waterline. Finish off with an accentuated eyeliner wing and mascara.

3. Lashes Galore

For this dramatic lash look, start off with gold eyeshadow as a base for your eyelid, and blend in a darker bronze color into the crease. Add in a shimmery gold eyeshadow into the inner corner and under the brow bone. Layer two fake eyelashes together with eyelash glue. Apply the layered lashes onto your lash line with eyelash glue. Wait for it to dry and voilà!

Keep applying different shades of gray to make them look as bold as you like. Take a brown shadow and start blending it into the outer crease to make the look softer. Apply some gray eyeshadow under the waterline. Line the waterline with kohl or black eyeliner. Finish off with winged eyeliner and false lashes.
