Bronze Smokiness

Hello. So this is not my favorite way to do a bronze smoky eye, but I was getting compliments on it all day long, so I took some quick pics.

To challenge myself, I used mainly loose eyeshadows which are more difficult to apply than pressed shadows.

Forgot an inner corner highlight, silly me

This is basically a cut-crease smokey eye where the deep colour is taken all the way into the inner crease. I rarely do that with crease colours because it makes my eyes look more sunken in than they already are. If your eyelids are flatter, then this would be a fantastic way to do a dramatic smokey eye that is not just super heavy on the outside of the eye.
