I received numerous emails asking me to do a picture tutorial on how I created the Golden Olive Smoky Eyes EOTD. Apologies for the bad blending job. I was in a rush again. Just in case you don’t remember what it looked like, here’s the picture:
Products I Used
- Eyeshadow. I used L’oreal Hip Eyeshadow Duo in Gilded. One half is a gold eyeshadow and the other half is a dark chocolate brown. For some reason when these two colors are mixed together it makes a hint of olive green. I think the gold has a hint of a olive undertone.
- Eyelash curler. I used Shiseido Eyelash Curler.
- Mascara. I used Maybelline The Colossal Volum’ Express Mascara in Black.
- Eyeliner. I used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero.
- Eyeshadow primer. I used Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer.
- Eyeshadow Brush. I used MAC eyeshadow brush #252. It’s a fluffy shadow brush.
- Angled Eyeshadow Brush. I used MAC Angled Eyeshadow Brush #275. It’s not a stiff angled brush. It’s bit fluffy.
- Blending Brush. I used MAC Blending Brush #217. You can use a fluffy eyeshadow brush. That will work too.
- Flat Eyeshadow Brush. I used MAC eyeshadow brush #212. It’s a stiff brush.

You guys voted for the next picture tutorial to be how to wear gold eyeshadow and here it is:
Gold eyeshadow is a great way to bring attention to your eyes without being dramatic. It also compliments bronzed/tanned skin. Perfect for summer! This look is perfect for the daytime. If you want to turn it into a nighttime look, all you have to do is layer on more of the color.
(I apologize for the dark under eye circles. I haven’t gotten much sleep this whole week, and I was too lazy to put on makeup and cover them up.)
Update: I got a better camera. So, I will be redo-ing this tutorial. I’m hoping this time the colors will show up much better. This is tutorial is so blah!) Here is the redo.
I used Urban Decay Get Baked Palette to achieve this look.

Here’s a picture tutorial on how to do a simple smoky eye. It doesn’t take very long. I was able to complete this look under 10 minutes.
This is a monochromatic smoky eye. It’s not very shimmery or so dramatic so it’s perfect for the daytime (and nighttime too).
Update: You’ll notice as the tutorial progresses, my eye gets a little redder and redder. It’s because I kept accidentally poking myself in the eye while trying to take the pictures. Silly me.
