<p><b>Skill Level</b>:  Beginner-Moderate<br />

Start with a blank eye, and gather all the colors you will need. I used the following for this look: Copper (metal) pigment, Summer Neutral e/s, Goldmine e/s, Amber Lights e/s, Showstopper e/s, Gold Dusk pigment, Ambering Rose blush, Vibrant O l/s, and Heartfelt Pink l/g.</p>
<p><!--adsense#3--></p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral002.jpg" /><br />
Apply Copper (metal) pigment using a fairly flat and stiff brush with just a droplet or less of MAC&#8217;s water-based mixing medium all over your lid.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral003.jpg" /><br />
This is how it looks when applied with your eyes closed.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral004.jpg" /><br />
Pick up Summer Neutral e/s on a small, fluffy eyeshadow brush and place the brush in the center of your lid and move downwards. Go up and down to cover the entire middle section.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral005.jpg" /><br />
This is the result.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral006.jpg" /><br />
Taking Goldmine e/s on your eyeshadow brush, place it on the inner corner/inner lid.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral007.jpg" /><br />
Bring it up so that you arch it away from your nose, keeping with the general shape of your eye.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral008.jpg" /><br />
This is what you should have so far.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral009.jpg" /><br />
Apply Amber Lights e/s to your outer lid with your eyeshadow brush starting from the edge of<br />
Summer Neutral e/s and moving outwards.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral010.jpg" /><br />
Then adjust your brush so that you can bring the darkened color upwards and over your crease.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral011.jpg" /><br />
Using just a touch of Showstopper e/s, place the brush horizontally in the middle of your crease and gently move outwards and then slowly drag the brush inwards so that it creates a very soft crease color.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral012.jpg" /><br />
Like so. It&#8217;s not that apparent here, and it shouldn&#8217;t be, it&#8217;s just a very slight, only in a certain light, kind of effect.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral013.jpg" /><br />
Picking up dry Gold Dusk pigment on your eyeshadow brush, place the brush directly under the arch in your eyebrow and slowly drag it outwards.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral014.jpg" /><br />
Bring the brush back to the starting position, and drag the brush inwards, so that after you&#8217;ve finished the strokes, you have covered your browbone area with the pigment.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral015.jpg" /><br />
Using a little bit of Showstopper e/s, hold your brush horizontally against your lower lash line from the outer corner.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral016.jpg" /><br />
Slowly do a bit of dab and drag as you bring it to the middle of your lower lash line.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral017.jpg" /><br />
Using Summer Neutral e/s, utilize the technique we did with Showstopper, only for the inner lower lash line.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral018.jpg" /><br />
This is what it looks like.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_neutral019.jpg" /><br />
Another shot. Now, add your choice in mascara, face products, lip products, liner, etc. to complete the look. I chose simple black liner, Ambering Rose blush, Vibrant O lipstick, and Heartfelt Pink lipglass.</p>
