It's Judy Time - Smokey Bronze Look

Hey everyone, I thought I would do an updated bronze look for you. This look features the It's Judy Time palette from BH Cosmetics. If you are not familiar with YouTube, a girl called Judy chose the colours and I absolutely love this palette. The colours are very pigmented and creamy and there is also a wide range of colours. This eyeshadow palette is only $9.95 and available here.

I used quite a few shades to get this smokey bronze look. I was playing around to find a really nice combination which I could do for a wedding look and came up with this.

1. Before you apply any eyeshadow, don't forget to apply an eyeshadow base or eyeshadow primer. This is an important step as it will prevent the eyeshadow from creasing and also makes the colours more pigmented, last longer and prevents a load of fallout! 

2. Next step is to apply a crease colour with a blending brush. I used the tan colour in the photo numbered "1". I applied this on my crease and also dragged it a bit above my crease. To warm up my crease even more, I applied "2" over that first shade. This isn't a necessary step but I liked how it made my crease look. Applying a crease colour is very important before applying an eyeshadow colour on your lid as it helps with blending. 

3. Now it's time to add some colour. I used two really nice bronze shades on my lid and applied these using a flat fluffy brush. I used "3" on the inner part of my lid and applying it two thirds along the lid before applying "4" which is a darker reddy bronze on the outer bit of my lid whilst also blending the two bronze shades together. These bronze shades are really shimmery and looks really nice so you could just leave the eyeshadow like this. 

4. To create a smokey bronze look, I applied the shade above which is a dark browny red shade to my outer v. I used the brush shown in the photo as it is quite precise. Use a small amount and build the shade up as it is easier to blend that way. 

5. Blend, blend, blend, and blend some more with a big fluffy brush using the tan shade ("1"). Focus the blending slightly above the shadows and make sure the outer v colour (dark browny red shade) is blended nicely as you don't want any harsh lines!

6. Apply your favourite black liner. I like to use a liquid liner but gel eye liner will do!

7. This is an optional stage but I like to apply some false lashes when I am doing a smokey look. 

This is your completed look! I hope you liked this little tutorial. This look is perfect for an evening event or if you like wearing make-up like I do, you can wear it during the day! 

Hope you all have a lovely day :)
