How to Wear Chocolate Inspired Eye Makeup

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Start with neutral brown eyeshadow.

   Add a light shimmery eyeshadow (such as TooFaced's Hipster), a medium brown (such as TooFaced's latte) and a dark matte (such as TooFaced's cocoa bear).
   
   Pat the light shimmery brown all over your eyelid.
   
   Lightly take the medium brown onto the outer third and up into the crease; this color is light enough that you can get away with blending it a bit above the crease as well for a blown out look.

   Step 2: With a pointed crease brush

   Take the remainder of cocoa bear still on the brush and sweep it along your lower lashline. ,,, Blend it messily under the lower lashline for a really blown out sexy look. ,,, Make it longer than the end of your brow and not really much higher than your crease.
   
   Since it's the base shape for this look, make it clear. ,, Buff out that harsh line in circular motions. ,, This is done because it's usual to lose some pigmentation whilst blending. , You can use a shimmer for a bold effect (such as TooFaced's ahima-shimma) or a matte for a natural effect (such as TooFaced's vanilla bean). ,
