Coral/Bronze Makeup Tutorial

This look is super easy and can work with any eye-shadow color you wish. I just loved the warmth the bronze/coral colors brought to my face, and since I'm starting to look a bit pale these days I can sure use it! 
To create this look I used E.L.F. cream eye-shadow in the color Bronzed and Wet n' Wild Sparkle 'Til Morning Palette.

I started off by applying the cream shadow as a base and brought it down to the lower lash line.
Pat the coral shadow on top of the base and blend it upward. For a more dramatic look run it along the lower lash line as well.
Run some black eye liner along the water line and upper lash line. Using a pointed brush blend out the liner to soften the look. Add a few coats of your favorite mascara.
To tie the look together I applied a bit of bronzer, highlighter and peachy blush. For my lips I used Revlon's just bitten kissable balm stain in Adore.

Glittery Green Makeup Tutorial

This smoky green eye-shadow look is so glamorous! It's perfect for nights out or upcoming holiday parties. This look is earthy yet sultry, it's great for all skin tones and eye colors. To create this look I used a combination of Maybelline's Sun-baked eye-shadow palette and E.L.F.s mineral eye-shadow in earthy.But of course you can use what-ever similar colors/products you have on hand.
Start off by packing on elf's earthy onto the lid. Since it is a loose eye-shadow I dip my brush into a bit of water first to help the shadow stick.
Next place a matte brown shadow in the crease working it up to before the brow bone. Tip: when working with glittery shadows it's best to start with the eye makeup before doing the rest of your face since there will be plenty of fall out.
Taking a glittery dark brown shadow blend it into the outer V working it up into the crease.
Next apply a highlight to the corner of the eye and brow bone.
To create a smoky look apply green eye shadow along the lower lash line.
Apply eyeliner and mascara. For a more dramatic look I decided to add some fake lashes.

Natural Gold Makeup Tutorial

This is one of my favorite go to day time looks because its super simple and pretty. Gold toned eye shadows are flattering on many different skin tones and eye colors,especially green. 
 Most of the products I used are from them drugstore apart from my Naked palette. If you don't have that palette not to worry just use similar colors.
Start by applying a base. This is Elf's jumbo eye shadow stick in the color Little miss thing.
Next use the warmth of your finger to blend it out. 
On top of the base pat on Half Baked stopping at the crease.
Next blend the color naked from the crease to below the brow bone.
Apply the color Virgin onto the brow-bone and the corner of the eyes.
Using a black kohl pencil line the top lid.
With a small angled brush pat the color Dark horse on top of the liner to smoke it out. Bring it down to the lower lash line stopping 2/3 of the way in.
Curl lashes and apply a couple coats of mascara or false lashes for a more dramatic look.
Apply blush and lipstick of your choice. I used Elf blush in the color tickled pink and Revlon's just bitten kissable balm stain in Adore.
