One Bronzy Mauve Eye Look, Two Lip Options

February 11th, 2021 by Karen 7 Comments

One bronzy mauve eye look, two lip options

Looking for an easy eye makeup look that looks better than the bare minimum and works with a wide variety of lipstick colors? If you are, have I got an eye look for you! 😃 Check out this bronzy mauve…

Yeah, yeah, who’s wearing lipstick these days? Well, I mean, I think a lot of us are. I was chatting with a few gals on Instagram (here’s me, BTW), and it turns out there are a lot of people out there spending a lot of time at home right now (no, really!?), parenting, surviving and hopefully thriving, in, like, full-on bright red lips because they simply miss wearing lipstick. So, before you put your hands on your hips, shake your finger at me and say, “Karen, everybody’s masked up, so lipstick is total and complete nonsense now!” I politely disagree.

We’re still wearing lipstick, y’all. HEAR US ROAR! 😸

LOL!

So, back to the eye makeup… Curl your lashes, fill in your brows, and grab the following:

Key eye makeup products

  1. A bronze cream shadow stick
  2. A matte mauve powder shadow
  3. A matte cool brown eyeshadow
  4. A black or blackish brown pencil liner
  5. A shimmery warm champagne shadow

Here’s what you do

  1. Apply and blend the bronze cream shadow all over the part of your lid that moves when you blink (a.k.a. your mobile lid), as well as the crease, diffusing the shadow into a soft gradient as you move up toward your brows.
  2. Layer the matte purplish mauve eyeshadow directly on top of the bronze cream shadow, first using a flat eyeshadow brush. Next, grab a clean tapered or domed blending brush, and soften out the edges. Now, if you want, run the brush along your lower lash line with however much product remains on the brush.
  3. Next, line your lash lines with the black or brownish black pencil. Then, load a pencil brush with the dark cool brown shadow, and soften the liner by running the tip of the brush along the liner’s edge.
  4. Dab a touch of the shimmery warm champagne into the inner corners…
  5. And finish with mascara, false lashes and a shot of tequila (kidding).

If you want, you can also do the following

  1. Optional step 1: Tightline your waterline. Side note — I *always* do this! Makes my lashes look thicker. 😉
  2. Optional step 2: Blend some of the cool matte brown eyeshadow in the outer corner for more depth.

Two lip options

I think this works with so many different lip colors because the balance between the warm bronzy shadow base and the cooler mauve and brown tones makes it suitable to wear with neutral, cool and warm lipsticks. I’ve paired it here with a neutral rosy brown lipstick and a warm cranberry red lipstick to give you two options; I also think this look would be great with dark brown, wine or brick shades.

    Another great look! You really inspire me to up my shadow game. I love MAC Dance With Me on you! On me it goes bright fuchsia. I need to dig through my collection and see if I have any similar colors.
    I saw this and I started shopping on-line and then I said to myself, “Wait, you already have plenty of shadows. Look for dupes in zee collection” Haha.

      Ooh, I love that it’s a bright fuchsia on you! I wonder if I can make that happen, hmm…

      And yes, yes, yes to shopping your stash. I’ve been doing that a lot lately and it is SO satisfying. 🙂

      Drizzling up here currently! Hopefully the rain will make its way down to you, too.

        Lots of lipsticks go bright fuchsia on me. It’s either my chemistry or my blueish mauve lips and pale skin.
        The temptation to buy more makeup is always there. But this months credit card bill had a credit and it felt good to not have to pay anything. And Dear Husband was super happy to boot. I guess the one positive thing with this pandemic is the realization that I don’t need to have so much stuff. And for the most part I’ve enjoyed having Dear Husband around a lot more.
        Yes! I hear a few drops of rain pinging on the chimney cap! Hopefully it will pick up and soak the ground a bit.

          I’ve had the same realization, too. There’s always something bright and shiny, and yes, it’s fun to find something new to love, but it’s also a relief to know that I don’t *need* so much stuff. I started decluttering the house and the little bit that I have done feels like so much mental weight has been lifted.

            There really is something freeing about decluttering. It really is like lifting a weight off.

    Holy gorgeous subdued eye look! I can see myself wearing this on a special occasion, but I’m interested in your skin! It’s flawless! Have you shared your skincare regimen recently?

    I only wear lipstick when I am at home right now, at the office there is no point, it only get smeared around underneath the mask.

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
