Why this worksEarthy tones like warm browns, rusty oranges, and deep greens complement most skin tones and add depth to your eyes. These colours are reminiscent of fall foliage and create a cozy yet sophisticated look. By using these shades, you can create dimension and highlight your eyes without overpowering them.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Eyelids Start with a clean eyelid. Apply an eyeshadow primer to create a smooth base, ensuring your makeup lasts all day without creasing.
  2. Choose Your Earthy Shades Select a palette with warm browns, burnt oranges, and soft golds. These shades will be your main players in creating that warm October look.
  3. Apply Transition Colour Using a fluffy brush, apply a light brown shade as your transition colour in the crease. This will help blend other shades seamlessly and add depth.
  4. Add Depth with Darker Tones Next, use a darker brown or rust shade on the outer corner of your eye. Blend it into the crease to add dimension and drama to your eye look.
  5. Highlight the Inner Corner Apply a soft gold or champagne shade to the inner corner of your eyes. This brightens up the look and makes your eyes appear larger.
  6. Finish with Liner and Mascara Finish the look with a brown eyeliner along your lash line for a softer effect and a few coats of mascara to make your lashes pop.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the primer, which can lead to creasing. Over-applying dark shades without blending can make your eyes look heavy. Also, neglecting to highlight the inner corners can leave the look feeling flat.

The pro moveTry using a damp brush to apply shimmer shades for an extra pop of intensity.
