Total lightness: this is the makeup motto for summer! This summer, explore all the variations of gold and bronze with a look created by Virginie Vandelac, where the intensity of smokey eyes meets the light shine of luminous makeup. Perfect for evenings where the sun lingers!
1
Colour
Apply a brown eye shadow on the eyelid, then at the root of the lower lashes, drawing a line to the outer edge with a bevelled brush. Then use a blending brush to apply a slightly darker brown to the outer corner of the eye and the eyelid.
2
Intensify
Using the bevelled brush, press a little dark brown eye shadow along the root of the upper lashes. Draw a line that you extend slightly outward, while making sure to saturate the colour at the inner corner of the eye.
3
Illuminate
With the tip of a small eye shadow brush, create a point of light by applying a light champagne colour to the inner corner of the eye. To get the vaporous effect, pat a golden eye shadow all over the upper eyelid, over the colours already applied. Spread a little eye shadow along the edge of the lower lashes.
4
Refine
Define your eyebrows: following the direction of the hair, brush them, fill them in using small strokes, then brush them again to spread the colour. Then apply a black mascara on the upper eyelashes, from root to tip, and on the bottom ones, holding the brush vertically. To accentuate the volume (and your eyes!), proceed with a second step: add a layer of mascara mixed with fibres to the upper lashes.
Pro tip: Before anything else, apply a makeup base to your entire face. Be sure to let the product penetrate: by making your skin more supple and hydrated, it will facilitate the application of the foundation and naturally increase the radiance of the look.
