Why this worksWarm shades like browns, oranges, and golds not only enhance your natural eye colour but also evoke the cozy vibes of autumn. These colours can create depth and dimension, making your eyes the focal point of your look. Plus, layering techniques can add a touch of sophistication suitable for any October celebration.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Lids Start by applying an eyeshadow primer to ensure your makeup lasts all day and avoids creasing. This creates a smooth canvas for your eyeshadow and enhances the vibrancy of the colours.
  2. Choose Warm Eyeshadows Select a palette with warm tones like burnt oranges, deep browns, and golds. Use a fluffy brush to apply a transition shade in the crease, blending it well for a seamless look.
  3. Add Depth with Darker Shades Take a darker shade and apply it to the outer corners and lower lash line to create depth. Blend thoroughly to avoid harsh lines, giving your eyes a soft, smoky effect.
  4. Highlight the Inner Corners Use a light, shimmery shade to highlight the inner corners of your eyes and the brow bone. This adds brightness and makes your eyes appear larger and more awake.
  5. Finish with Mascara Complete the look with a few coats of volumising mascara to define your lashes. This enhances your eye makeup, making it pop and adding to the overall warm, inviting vibe.

Where people go wrong

Many skip the primer, which can lead to fading and creasing. Others might choose overly bright shades that clash with the warm theme. Lastly, not blending well can result in harsh lines that detract from the soft, inviting look.

The pro moveConsider using a setting spray after your makeup to lock it in place and enhance the colours for all-day wear.
