2. Get an eyebrow pencil that matches your natural brows. Use that to set your brows straight.
3. Find an eyeshadow that is a golden bronze color. Get your brush, and put that color everywhere on the lid up to the crease of it.
4. Get a darker brown color and apply it only to the outside corner of your eyelid.
5. Now, blend the colors to make the look come together.
6. Get a dark bronze color and put it in the crease. This step is what makes the Smokey eye look with these colors.
7. Get your dark brown you used earlier and apply it along your lash line, almost like eyeliner. Follow this with some dark brown eyeliner or black and you’ve got the Bronze Smokey eye look down.
8. Don’t forget to finish the look off with mascara.
