Items used:
  • MAC Melon pigment was applied all over the eye area, and it was foiled (i.e. applied wet) over the lid
  • Urban Decay Half Baked was placed on the lid in the inner 1/3rd area
  • MAC Goldmine was placed on the lid in the center (next to the half baked eyeshadow)
  • MAC Orange was used in the crease
  • MAC Coppering was placed in the outer 1/3rd area of the crease

  • MAC Entremauve pigment was applied wet below waterline
  • Waterline was lined with my fav. Indian Kohl (brand VLCC)

Gold, Bronze and Brown

Hi All,

I am totally loving this look! I cant wait to try it with a gorgeous sari :) What colored sari/salwar kameez should I try it with?














Items used:
  • Prime lid with MAC Rubenesque paint pot
  • Apply MAC Embark in the crease and a bit above it . We will be applying the bronze shade over this to intensify the color. Embark also helps blend the bronze with the highlight
  • NYX gold pigment applied wet on the lid (this is the most beautiful true gold shade in my opinion)
  • Apply SweetScents Bronze pigment in the crease
  • Darken the outer V with MAC Carbon
  • MAC Ricepaper was used as a highlight
