Tutorial: Khaki Desert Eyes

Khaki is a HUGE colour this season for autumn so I thought I'd create a gorgeous and wearable khaki look with my Wet N Wild "Comfort Zone" palette and complimented by the Wet N' Wild "Vanity" palette for work or play. It is quite a muted look, toned down with blended browns and lightened up with inner corner highlights so can be worn during the day or darkened up for night.

I'm not much of an expert on colours as my go-to look is usually a brown smokey eye but I thought I'd have a play around! The comfort zone palette is everyone's favourite but the colours can be easily found at MAC counters or even in ELF quads (eg. Nymph dreams or Ivy quad)

To achieve this look, follow these simple steps:

1. Light, olive green all over lid

2. Dark, forest green in outer half of eye lid (overlapping olive colour)

3. Dark, shimmery brown in the outer -V to give dimension to colours

4. Blend using a neutral blending colour two shades darker than natural skintone (I used UD matte eyeshadow in "Naked")

5. Pop a shimmery (not glittery) champagne colour to the inner corners of the eyes and bring down a third along the waterline to highlight and brighten the eyes

6. Line the waterline with eyeliner and set with a dark, matte red-brown shadow. Line the tight line with eyeliner.

7. Slick on afew coats of a lengthening and volumising mascara to complete the fluttery eye look!

For the face contour the cheeks and bring it up to the temples and pop on a neutral blush (I suggest NYX blush in "Angel") and neutral lipstick (MAC Cherish or Freckletone works well) so that the eyes are the focus of attention.

I hope you like this easy yet flattering for all skintones look! Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below, I have also uploaded a video on my Youtube channel with this tutorial!

Until next time!!
