Love & Cocoa is a beautifully rich, metallic chocolate brown shade from the Too Faced Chocolate Gold Eyeshadow Palette (click here to see my post on this palette).  I couldn’t resist trying it out on the lid alongside Holla For a Dolla in the crease and Famous on the inner lid.

Products

Base: Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer in White
Lid: Love & Cocoa (metallic deep chocolate brown)
Crease: Holla For A Dolla (metallic deep olive green)
Inner Lid: Famous (metallic medium copper)
Highlight: Rollin’ in Dough (matte light cream)
Lower Lashline: Love & Cocoa (as above)
Inner Lower Lashline: Famous (metallic medium copper)
Black mascara (upper and lower lashes)

Steps

1. Apply Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer all over the lid as a base. You can either use your fingers or a flat synthetic brush (e.g. MAC 242).  

2. Take a flat shader brush (e.g. MAC 239) and pat Love & Cocoa on to the lid.

3. Take a crease/blender brush (e.g. MAC 217) and sweep Holla For a Dolla into the crease.  Use a windshield wiper motion to blend the colour into the crease.

4. Take a flat shader brush (e.g. MAC 239) and pat Famous on the inner part of the lid.  Take Famous up into the inner crease of the eye as well to add a little extra brightness to the eyes.

5. Take a crease/blender brush (e.g. MAC 217, MAC 226)  and sweep Rollin’ in Dough on to the browbone to highlight.

6. Take an angled eyeliner brush (e.g. MAC 266) and apply Love & Cocoa along the middle-outer lower lashline.  Use the same brush to apply a little of Famous along the inner lower lashline.

7. Apply plenty of black mascara to the top and bottom lashes.
